Sort: Β 

Theme Ideas:
Winter wonderland
Old School (non-digital medium)
Raw (not processed or purified)

I like the raw idea :)

What do you mean by "purified"?

I mean photoshop and other touch ups... none of that, get the shot right with the camera.

I think what @taskmanager meant was raw as in straight out of camera: no post processing at all. "Purified" wasn't really necessary.

Thank you very much for the Honorable mention! These contests are great fun and very good for the steemit platform as well! Can't be all sports betting! :P
"Nostalgia" should be very interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing what people do with the theme!

Such great photos as always! Great contest and one of my favourite things here on Steemit!

@kus-knee (The Old Dog)

Congrats to the winners! Very nice shots. My favorites are the entries by @homeartpictures, @mcsvi, and @sharker. *thumbs up

Thank you!

Congratulations to the winners, honorary mentions and everybody who participated.

Maybe an idea for one of the future challenges - pets ?

Yes, an animal portrait was the first challenge.

But ...

Pets can include all sorts of animals, not only cats and dogs and birds. Photos / subjects can be dynamic, pensive, funny, sad, domestic and domestically wild, ... :)

Yes, congrats to @zahar for receiving credit for my work... And I keep participating... can't figure out why.. yet..

I think it's a matter of time, be patience my friend. Ξ™ts look like a small mistake!!!

My apologies for that mistake. The link goes to your submission but I pasted the wrong name. I will send your prize when I have access to my wallet and I've edited the credit. Sorry again for the mistake.

Ok, no problem, sorry for exaggerated reaction, but in the day I saw it, got my nerves.

A 'New Beginnings' theme would tie in nicely with the new year (:
