Hello fellow Steemians Round 6's theme had some great shots, making it tricky to decide the top 3, with a variety of photos celebrating the beauty of goldenhour!
I have decided to change the format from now on, as each week I have been using different bots to provide extra exposure to the competition. Unfortunately this has meant that I have been losing money each week, but it's is still great to see all of your photos! So after I have used bots to gain exposure to a wider audience and then paid everyone for their winnings, I am into minus numbers each week! I would like to continue the competition but I could do with some whale/dolphin votes to support your great photography! So as of this week I am going to up the winners's prize to 1.5 SBD, but I am going to cut out the second and third places until the competition gains popularity!
May I make it clear that all photos posted must be Your Own Original Work, Round 1 had a member trying to plagiarise work! I gave them a warning, someone had upvoted their photo by 9 SBD, but they were found by @Steemcleaners, who do great work! So please fellow Steemians, Post Your Own Work Only, it is only fair.
Each week I will choose the winner on Monday and you will be able to post your entries all week until the post reaches 7 days old.
Round 7 Theme - Travelling Moments
This shot was taken of me on a giant mountain side swing in the absolutely stunning surroundings of the mountainous province of Petchanbun. Petchabun is situated 5 hours north of Bangkok and I would absolutely recommend this spot to everyone! My wife took this shot of me swining into the sky, which I then edited in photoshop.
What can you post? Any of your favourite travel moments! If it is just a day trip to somewhere then great send it in! If it is a shot from your world travels or holiday send it in! I love seeing people's travelling moments and I know how precious these moments can be, possibly some of the best times in our lives! Now this theme is going to be a fixed theme foe the foreseeable future, as I know and have seen so many great travel moments from all of you Steemians out there!
Round 6 Winners
I loved all of the entries this week, but there can only be three prize winners, let's hope that can change sometime in the near future!
First Place - @dfinney
The colours in this shot from @dfinney are fantastic and the reflection on the water just puts the icing on the cake well done! Please show some support and cehck out @dfinney's blog.
Second Place - @cruella
@cruella captured this fantastic shot of a clock tower in Canterbury, the framing looks great, the colour and texture of the clouds looks awesome and I loved how the sunlight caught the top of the tower! PLease go over to @cruella's page and show some support!
Third Place - @fiftysixnorth
As we all know photography is all about timing and @fiftysixnorth's eagle eye and quick thinking enabled him to capture this great shot over Edinburgh before it disappeared out of his sights! Great work again sir!

I love the golden hour theme. Nothing better than a beautiful sunrise or sunset. Congrats to all the winners! You all deserve it
The Golden Hour Theme was my favorite as well! I am a big fan of sunrises and sunsets!
