Who's ready for Week 13?
really enjoys plants and animals, so what better photography contest could I run than one where others get to photograph plants and animals together, in some combination photography?It should be apparent that @papa-pepper
EXAMPLES
Before I get into who won the contest last week, I’ll quickly share with you again what I am looking for by featuring some photos of mine. In the cover photo, I combined a gecko and a flower, with the gecko being the animal and the flower being the plant.
First off, by combination photography I mean that you should combine two elements; plants and animals. At least one plant and at least one animal should be featured in your photo to have it qualify. Here are two examples.
Besides simply providing the images, I also require that those entering this contest provide a proof photo as well. Two main versions of proof photos exist. One kind features the same combination of plants & animals with a written paper in the photo with your username, the date, contest name, etc. to prove that you took the photo for the contest.
The other type of proof is just a selfie with the animal and plant. Here are my examples for the photos featured above.

Based on the proof photos there should be no doubt in your mind that I actually took the photos I shared above.
WEEK 12 WINNERS!
Choosing the winners is always tough for me, but I have finally made my decisions. The Winner gets 50% of the liquid post payout from the Week Twelve Post and the two runner ups each get 12.5% of the same.
