KBC/GH Photo Contest #3: Sub-Framing (Dec. 6, 2017-Jan. 7, 2018) Now open!

What is sub-framing?

Quote
Sub-framing is a type of compositional technique wherein one or more photo elements are framed by another element. It’s a good way to add interest to the photo, lead the viewer’s eye towards the middle of the sub-frame, and emphasize a subject. It can take any shape or form, as long as it frames and adds focus to the intended subject or scene.

Hellooo!

HannahPeach and I played around with the idea of having a series of photography contests to get people out there shooting and to possibly bring out some creativity that we know the community possesses. We decided to start this photography contest, with voting done by the users here. If there are enough people interested in taking part in this, we might have this be a reccuring thing.

When you say "Black and White" do you mean that the photo should be 100% desaturated or that the subject should black and white themed?

100% desaturated, like the photo in the main post!

Updated the main post to make it more clear. Thanks for the questions!

can't I use imgur ;w;

Flickr is a lot easier to manage from our POV and also a lot prettier. It also provides the exif data, which is useful for other photographers and to see the date the photo was taken.

I hope you understand and can take the time to register for a flickr account to enter :)
