PAPA-PEPPER'S COMBINATION PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST - WEEK 32

in contest •  7 years ago 

Another week done and more incredible entries from around the world!


It is great to be able to see all of different animals and plants in your areas, in some wonderful combination photography! These entries are getting tougher and tougher to judge, but I am glad that you are all still enjoying the contest!

EXAMPLES

Before I get into who won the contest last week, I’ll once again review what I am looking for by featuring some combination photos of mine.

When I say “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. As you can tell from my examples, it was the animals that I was focusing on, as "grass" is not that exciting of a plant... Here are a few examples.


Bumblebee on Clovers


Three-Toed Box Turtle with Grass


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, because you can see me right there! The written proof works in the same way.

THE WINNERS!


Before I share who won, let me please mention that this was an extremely hard week to judge. You guys are making some amazing entries here! The Winner gets 50% of the liquid post payout from the Week 30 Post and the two runner ups each get 25% of the same.

THE WINNER


@devasish

6.5 SBD

FIRST RUNNER UP


@hippie-witha-gun

3.25 SBD

SECOND RUNNER UP


@craigcryptoking

3.25 SBD


Thank you everyone for all of your efforts and entries! It has been a blessing to check them all out! Although 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. Sometimes people who don’t win get paid more for their post than if they had actually won!

ON TO WEEK 32!


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.

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.

LET THE 32ND WEEK OF THE CONTEST BEGIN!!!

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Some great pics @papa-pepper! Well done my brother @craigcryptoking. And thanks to your persistence I'm entering my spotted eagle-owl post from yesterday. https://steemit.com/homesteading/@buckaroo/owl-be-seeing-you

Thanks Craig!

Although I have never won and have not enjoyed any results of this contest, but I will continue to participate, because I'm sure one day I will win, because I'm a loyal follower of @papa-pepper ever since I recognized the steemit platform.

And here's my participation for this week :

Hello @papa-pepper I hope you are having a good time .I would like to thank you for creating this contest which provides a lot of exposure to many minnows out there like me .
I am blessed to participate in this week's contest .
Here is my entry .
This is a baby black jumping spider ,the day I shot this picture the spider was very hard to track down as it was just a week young and hardly 0.2cms.

Here is the proof photo
The front camera of my phone is not sharp enough.So,it was not able to bring the spider in focus which was hiding just beneath the flowers.

Friends, I've read your writing for a long time but my question is, why does the snake that you take does not tell you anything?

I really do not understand that comment.

Good day. Here's an entry for your animal and plants combination.
