Week 9 was another amazing week with some incredible entries!
It should be apparent that @papa-pepper 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?
EXAMPLES
Before I get into who won the contest last week, I’ll quickly review what I am looking for by featuring some photos of mine. As you can see in the cover photo, I combined a butterfly with some flowers.
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. 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.
Once you see the proof photos there should not be any doubt in your mind that I actually took the photos I shared above.
THE WINNERS!
As always, this was tough for me, but I have finally made my decisions. The Winner gets 50% of the liquid post payout from the Week Nine Post and the two runner ups each get 25% of the same.
THE WINNER
@norwegiansteem
15.50 SBD
FIRST RUNNER UP
@ty2nicerva
7.75 SBD
SECOND RUNNER UP
@tojukaka
7.75 SBD
Obviously, there were many, many more excellent photos, but I had to pick the top three. By way of reminder, though the official way to enter this contest is by including your entry photo and the proof photo in a reply to my post, I strongly encourage others to make an actual post featuring their entry as well.
Even if you do not win the contest, you could still get something for your effort if you turn it into a post as well. @Matthewtiii once hit the jackpot on a post about his contest entry. His post paid out at over $200 total while he has trying to win 5 STEEM, LOL! Link here.
SPECIAL BONUS FOR WEEK 10
For WEEK 10, I am having a special prize for the winner. I was thinking that maybe someone would like something like this:
Please do your very best this week, you may just hit the jackpot!
ON TO WEEK 10!
By now you should have a clue about what this contest is and how to enter, but here are the official rules just to make sure. Enjoy, and I am looking forward to seeing what you can come up with.
HERE ARE THE OFFICIAL RULES:
- Photo entries must be placed in the reply/comment section of this post.
- Submissions may also be made into posts, but it is not necessary.
- A proof photo will also be required. This can be in the form of a selfie with the subjects from the photos or in the form of your username written on a piece of paper in a photo, etc. Basically, you must prove the originality of your work. Therefore, your entry comment should include two photos.
- Users have between now and the time of the post payout to enter this contest.
- I will personally select one winner to award half of the liquid SBD payout from this post to and two runner ups who will each get 25% of the same.
- Enter as many times as you like!
- Depending on the interest in this contest, I may have it be ongoing.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure to include both your entry photo and proof photo in your reply.
TL;DR
If you reply to this post with a photo of a plant and animal together and include a proof photo before the post payout from this post, you may win a portion of the post payout.

I like the last photo. It seems that taking a shot at this angle is a bit scary but it works! It seems like the real intention of the photographer is well-accomplished.
Thank you

Hmmm... maybe I'll go for a morning walk and catch the deer before they get up and moving. Thanks!
Might want to. Good prize this week!
There were no deer in sight this morning, but I saw several piles of fresh bear poo. So I was walking around in the woods alone, drinking my coffee, hoping I could find a bear to take a cute selfie with...
It's probably best that I didn't find one.
this is a very interesting contest.
if I can still follow this race @papa-pepper.
As we get down below freezing at night here in northeast Kansas, it is lovely to see such vibrant photos! Thanks @papa-pepper for the contest. It's great to see so many that love the out-of-doors!
