Robot And Rock - A PhotoChain Combination For This Week

Hello everyone. This post aims to promote the PhotoChain Challenge or Contest. Now on its 58th week, this Contest is hosted by @davidesimoncini. I find this Challenge to be intellectually stimulating and quite fun at the same time. I invite you all to check out the contest post here. Do read up and join us in the fun.

Every week for the last 57 weeks, our host picked two winners. These two winners were among those weekly participants who submitted a photo showing 2 keywords or objects that are needed to be in the picture. For example, last week (Round 57), the two keywords were Battery and Beads. All the participants gave a photo that contained a Battery or Batteries and Beads of any kind. The twist in the contest is in naming a third object which can be seen in the same photo of each participant. So the 2 winners last week, @jpegg and @olivia08, chose Robot and Rock, respectively. The third object named by the winners of last week becomes the Keywords for this week's contest.

Still don't get it?

The following should illustrate how the contest works. This week, the Keywords are Robot and Rock. As a participant, I must now submit a picture with a Robot and a Rock in it. Luckily, my 8-year old grandson collects Rocks. See photos below of some of his collection.

He also has a couple of Robots still in relatively good condition but missing some parts. Here is one of his robots checking out the stone formation.

It's actually a transformer robot named TANK by my grandson. He transforms into a Robot by some trick of twisting and turning. And voila!

Now I have several photos with Robot and ROCKS. What is left to do is choose which among the photos to enter in the Contest and then pick out a third object found in the photo I choose which, if I win, becomes one of the 2 keywords for next week's Round.

For this week's entry, I have chosen to enter the photo below.

And my Personal Keyword or third object is SHADOW. I could also have chosen another object found in my photo like WHITE or STAR or ORANGE or GREEN but I think SHADOW will make the contest more challenging.

There you have it. That's as best as I can explain the mechanics of the PhotoChain Challenge. I hope you understood it and try to join. It can be very absorbing and entertaining.

Best of luck to everyone. And may you all have a great rest of the week. Stay safe and healthy.
