PAPA-PEPPER'S COMBINATION PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST - WEEK 40

in #contest6 years ago

Another excellent week of entries!


It's been great to be able to see all of different animals and plants in your areas, in some wonderful combination photography! I'm still super excited about all of the participation, since without your entries, there would be no 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.


Butterfly with Echinacea Flower


Ebony Jewelwing with Virginia Creeper Vine


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 39 Post and the two runner ups each get 25% of the same.

THE WINNER

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 40!


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 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 40TH WEEK OF THE CONTEST BEGIN!!!

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

We have some great entries for this week, just have to get these digital assets organized! Blessings to all!

That monkey looks handsome.

Heyyyy! Stop monkeying around! :)

Top marks for this pun, but the fruit was too good to pass up!

We don't feed the monkeys here in SA. They get really cheeky and think they can come into the kitchen.....

What cheeky monkeys!
Honestly, I do enter
the kitchen, unphased.

Maybe your wife is a monkey whisperer ;)

mis respeto amigo @ecoinstant me agrada mucho el que usted quiera y se integre tanto con la naturaleza, dios me lo bendiga.

Amen! Gracias!
Mucho gusto amigo.
Dios le guarde.

Congrats all winners, my entry in @papa-pepper's combination photography contest week - 40.

Watch out dude it's on your head!!!

Hey PP I think these contests are great for the community. Good to see you Steeming on! My full upvote isnt much, but I wanted you to know I think you are still doing a good job!

Thank you for that my friend. It gives people a fun chance to interact, compete, and win some crypto!

Congratulations @sallybeth23!!!Outstanding job!

Wow! What plant is this? Its gorgeous!

Ginger shrub. It is gorgeous. I had planted ginger root but the plant died with the drought. Then I managed to find this ginger shrub. It is very mild tasting but the flowers are such a show although as you can see my herb garden is mostly just soil now as we disconnected the irrigation.

A plant that can handle drought is a friend indeed! Spectalcular looker, I will put this on my list of plants to plant!

@buckaroo overachiever :P mwah

muchas felicidades a todos los ganadore, dejo mi participación

Delicious chicken food!

We are on the road, and have missed our lovely chirping neighbors lulling me to sleep at night. Enjoy the music friend.

I also love the sounds of the night! Thanks for stopping by!
