Engaged! C-Squared Readers' Choice Contest - FULL RULES
The @c-squared account will place a 12 Steem Bounty on this weekly contest post, published every Sunday.
How to claim the bounty
Bounty hunters (you the reader!) must leave a comment in reply to this post with a link to a post recently upvoted/resteemed by @c-squared (still in payout) and an explanation of why you liked this post.
PLEASE NOTE To be eligible for bounty payout, three criteria must be met:
- The comment must include a valid URL of a post recently upvoted/resteemed by @c-squared (still in payout at the time the comment is left).
- The comment must include a non-spammy/non-generic explanation of why you liked the linked post.
- A non-spammy/non-generic comment must be left in reply to the linked post as well.
The @c-squared account will upvote comment(s) that satisfy the above criteria, determining who gets the bounty (if multiple comments are upvoted by @c-squared the bounty will be split). The C-Squared admins will review all comment entries and the best comments will receive a larger % vote, thus receiving more of the bounty.
ONLY ONE COMMENT PER USER WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR BOUNTY You are welcome to leave as many comments below as you want to help highlight the awesome posts curated through @c-squared, but only your first comment will be eligible for bounty payout.
Spam commenters and users who are obviously copying existing comments in hope of upvote and bounty will be flagged.
Examples of comments that would be too spammy/generic to qualify for the contest (this is a non-exhaustive list): "I like this post"; "Nice post"; "Cool post"; "This post was my favorite", etc. What we are looking for is why you liked a post, what in specific you liked about it, how the post made you feel, and in general looking for thoughtful responses that prove you actually read the post and enjoyed it.
Engagement League Booster Prize
In the spirit of C-Squared's mission to encourage engagement on the Steem blockchain, we would like to encourage users to participate in @abh12345's League of Engagement.

Here's a post you recently resteemed, which I really liked:
https://steemit.com/busy/@extractum-lunae/why-talent-and-vocation-is-complete-nonsense
It's an insight into the importance (or non-importance) that natural talent or genius plays into a person's success. I really liked how the article challenges conventional thinking by writing about how dedication and hard work can be just as instrumental as natural talent. After all, at the end of the day, it's not about how talented you are but about what you did with your talent or lack thereof that matters.
I also liked how it's an inspiring article because it challenges you try new things and not be afraid of failure because even if you think you are not good at something, you can always get better through practice and dedication.

This post is beautifully done! https://steemit.com/photography/@pixaroma/night-at-the-museum-photography
The clarity, lighting, and professionalism of these images are really amazing. And to pull it off without a tripod is an almost impossible task. Here is what I wrote on their post, and I feel it says it all. This is a really nice piece of work!
To the blogger:
I think the photos turned out a lot better than just OK. Of course, I won't ask how you got into a museum to take pictures at night, but I'm glad you did. The colour, the clarity, the light source, all work together on these images to bring a person straight into the museum with you. In each piece, you set up the light to bring just the right amount of detail, using the shadows to make the image look old, vibrant, and at times a little creepy, as they should be for the subject matter. The bronze statue and candle stick really pop in whatever light effect, or tweak ratios you used in Photoshop and Lightroom. Same for keys on the typewriter. All in all, very professional, and very well done. Keep it up!
Course, I have to say the images of the vulture and Hawk (I believe) are my favourite. The detail, clarity,... they feel alive in the image, like their looking at you, wondering what the hell you are doing in their museum at night, lol. And to do it all wth no tripod? Very well done!

I could write many paragraphs, why I selected this post, but primarily it gives much inspiration and a positive message and the post also have life in it. Retirement is a crucial phase of life and one who can easily adjusted to the reality would be lucky and very few people will select a choice of such hobby.
And the blogger explained all the different stages of his wood work so beautifully...

There is its opposite side too..I know many people who got into a depressed state of mind immediately after retirement especially ladies not knowing what to do from the next day. Their usual routine gets upside down from the moment they realize they are idle..

I like it because it has a simple and accurate analysis of the film, and Latin cinema is always supported, because little by little it is gaining ground worldwide, this is the case of the Mexican directors who have spoken in recent years in the field film.

I was attracted to this post because I believe the world needs to better plan rests.What I found though was deep heartfelt story. In my comment to @goat-girlz I mentioned the movie The Great Outdoors and John Candy's battle with the racoon.
