Welcome to the one and only, the original Steemit Photo Challenge!
The SPC is about to turn One Year Old! Read below for more info.
The theme was
Food II
The guest judge was @gringalicious
Here’s what she had to say:
Wow, I knew when I volunteered to be judge, ( from my experience of judging the Culinary Contests ) it would be a difficult task. However, I under estimated the difficulty. Too many fantastic photos to choose from. Nonetheless, I had to narrow it down, so my selections were based upon the following: 1. Depth of field 2. Lighting 3. Subject Focus 4. Color Balance 5. Photo Styling. Congrats to all that entered, there are some amazing photographers out there.
Who’s hungry?

I strongly encourage you to post work that is original to this challenge, in other words — take a new photograph instead of using an old one.

All entries must be a post tagged both #photography and #steemitphotochallenge
The Title should contain "SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry" along with the title of your work.
Let us know the medium used to produce the photograph, it may be more impressive based on what it is.
Basic processing is allowed. ‘Digital art’ won’t be considered.
Any medium or format is allowed — iphone, ipad, film, digital, point and shoot, drone, whatever. Once it takes a picture. Note that image quality will be considered.
- Multiple Entries can all go in one post, just put the details under the image.
- Any attempt to steal others' work is considered a serious infraction by the community, so don't do it. Please don't waste your and our time by posting some image from the net.
- Every effort will be made to ensure that we do not reward theft. All images will be reverse checked, if the image has been found on more than 2 “major” websites, it will be disqualified unless reasonable proof can be shown to prove ownership of the original. If there is any doubt whatsoever about the ownership of the photograph, I reserve the right to disqualify the image. It is in your interest to provide any proof necessary. I would appreciate any help from the community in finding plagiarism where I might have missed it.
- The photographs will be judged on how well they met the challenge, the quality of the image, the composition, lighting, exposure, creativity and the general aesthetics which means that yes, it is subjective.
By entering this competition you acknowledge that you own the rights to the photographs and allow for me to re-post the image should it receive a winner or honourable mention position.

Congratulations to all the winners!
As for a new theme, how about
Tools of the Trade
These could be your own tools, or someone else's. I think this could be a diverse and interesting subject!
I'm thinking not just hammers and screwdrivers, but tattoo guns & inks, paint brushes, window squeegees, fancy suit & shoes, musical instruments, a beggars hat &a cardboard sign...
Anything you use to make a living!
Very interesting idea
That would be a cool idea to roll with, great suggestion! :)
@jamtaylor Thanks a lot for the competition. 3rd place in my first competition is amazing. I'll definitely be entering more competitions soon!
I'd like to see something like urban free climbing style pictures.
Something extreme

This is amazing. Presentation was always my weak point when creating recipes. Looking at these amazing pictures from creators has given me so much inspiration and ideas on how to improve on presentation that it has sparked my passion to cook more than ever for my Youtube Channel and now for Steemit. Thank you for all that you do. It is a great inspiration and guide to be able to come here and see all of these amazing creations.
I really like the week's selection! Congrats to all those featured! :)
@jamtaylor, the quality of photographs is astonishing. These steemian are extremely talented and also intimidating to newbies like me. Some might even be professional photograpbers, looking at the sophistication in the photos.
Thank you for your contest that aims to bring these talents to lime light. Perhaps I will throw my hat in the ring. But first I need to search for a celebration in my town. Or create one !!! 😊
Congrats all winners! Time goes so fast. I meant to do some shots for this but never got around to it. Very high standard anyway!
Fantastic photos - the colours are brilliant & all the dishes looked delicious 🍒 🍓 - well done to the winners!
