Fall (formerly Spring) Competition 2020: Flower Power Winners To be on topic , image must be about flowers. It could be a field of flowers, a single flower or part of a flower. Flowers that are alive, dead, dried, plastic etc. The focus must be on the flower (or parts of it) and not the leaves or stems. Flowers that have gone to seed are not on topic. The image can range from landscape to macro. Flower images are everywhere the question is how do you make your image stand out from all the other images. What story are you trying to tell? Would you print your image and hang it on your wall?

November 20020 Challenge: Fall Colours The Canadian landscape comes alive each fall with the colours of the changing season. It provides you with countless opportunities to create some beautiful photographs. To be on topic images must display the changing of the season through fall colours.

October 2020 Challenge Winners: Vanishing Point A vanishing point is a compositional technique similar to leading lines. Where leading lines can guide the viewer through the image or towards another element within the frame, a vanishing point is a point on the horizon where elements from the foreground, such as parallel lines, diminish in size and converge. This creates the illusion of depth. Most images using this technique will have a single vanishing point but two or more are possible. You image must show the convergence of two or more foreground elements at a point in the background.

Still Life normally consists of inanimate objects. However, to be on topic for this challenge: the definition for still life is anything that does not move, both man-made (jewelry, utensils, clothing, coins etc) and natural (rocks, shells, sand, flowers, fruits, vegetables etc). The image must consist of a grouping of 3 or more objects. The objects can be similar, but do not need to be. If they are not similar, the viewer should be able to see a theme or story in the grouping i.e. shape, color, texture, function, period of origin etc.
