Hello to all photography lovers!

First of all, I would like to thank all the participants of this contest because the level was excellent!
Of the 20 entries valid for this contest (which respect all the rules), I had to choose only 5... The choice was difficult but fortunately for the first time, I have a jury to help me:

OFFICIAL JURY MEMBERS:

• @flamingirl
• @pankajborah
• @soorefunmi

Thanks to them for their support and help in this 7 DAYS 📷 B&W URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST! 📷.

Here is the winner of this Day #1 who will be selected for the final and also the 5 other participants whose work was very good! I voted all your blogs and I invite you to participate in the remaining 6 days! I can not wait to see your work! 🙌

🏲 Before giving you the results I would like to draw your attention to the rule number 1 of this contest.

➊ Your photography must be made by you and must be accompanied by a proof. It can be:

• A second photography with a paper with "My entry for the B&W URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST by @flamingirl" IN FRONT OF THE SUNSET. Not only a paper because it does not prove anything ^^:
• The original version of your unedited photo
• The photo of your camera with the image on the screen
• You with your camera with the image on the screen
• You front of the same urban photography

👉 Examples here

You should know that for the final you cannot be selected if you do not give me proof that it is your job. That's what happened during the last contest and it almost made me give up the contests. If I do it again it is to be able to reward the talent of the Steemians who deserve that their work is exposed without taking into account their reputation or their wallet. So thank you for respecting this and kindly play the rules my friends =)

A Place To Call Home

These condo buildings are home to a populous, overlooking a favourite public gathering space of mine. I'm not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, however, when the moment feels right, I grab for my phone and take the best picture I possibly can. I think I managed to pull off a good shot here back in the summer of 2017.

The weather was perfect for a sunny summer day and the Irie Music Festival was about to start. I still frequent this place, as my kids love the open space and ginormous splashpad!

I hope you all like my submission for the urban photography contest by @flamingirl.

First of all, receive a cordial greeting, dear friends of this community. As the title says, this is my entry to the B&W Urban Photography Contest, organized by @flamingirl. It is not the first time that I upload photos to this network, however, in other post I have clarified that I am not a professional photographer. Despite this, I encouraged myself to participate and I do so because I am attracted to this type of art and its forms of expression.

The photo that I present below was taken in Venezuela, Barquisimeto, Lara State. In a short pause of the continuous rain of that day, some drops were left dripping on the glass of my kitchen window, while in the background you could see the buildings of a busy city that when it rains seems to become calmer. For some reason I liked how it looked, so I took a picture. Certainly with a professional camera the shot would have been more attractive, but unfortunately I only have my phone.

Anyway, friends, here's my picture.

I hope you like my picture. My best wishes to all.

A fruit Chat seller into city

Here is portrait of a fruit chat seller. I met this hardworking guy at Haridwar bus terminal. We had exchanged few words. As per him he make 250 to 300 rupees per day and the net saving will be around 150-160 rupees on daily basis.
He sells one plate of fruit chat in just 10 rupees, I took one and bus leaves the Haridwar to Joshimath. Sometimes life is not that hard on us as much we feel about it.

Thank you @flamingirl for this photography contest. I have been participating for very first time in your contest, I hope you will like my work.

So this pic is my first try in a photo contest ever ;) i just saw the post from @flamingirl and thought ok let's do this ;)

this shot i did a few weeks ago for a photoshooting with two friends of mine ;) the idea was to shoot some fashion and street shots for a lable from our hometown, but then i thought i want to do a shot with a gadget and found this turtle out of the nineties..."slash" was his name ;)

i was inspired by some pics i saw on instagram where people also use some gadget to spice up their pics :) also i really had luck with that soap bubble flying directly over the turtles head :)

I hope you like this one and maybe it's good enough to win something ;) this shot is now exclusiv only on steemit for the steemit community :) so feel free to tell me what you think about it :)

Do you guys remember that turtle action toys? i still have a lot of them ;) who was your favourite character in tnmt?
