😃😀😜April Photo Contest is NOW OPEN!!!😁😲😊Last edited Wed Apr 22, 2020, 03:50 AM - Edit history (5) This discussion thread was locked by mnhtnbb (a host of the Photography group). HAB911 Won the February contest and therefore had the privilege of deciding the theme for the April contest. I will be hosting the April contest. The theme for April is "bokeh, the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light" EDIT: Talitha has pointed out that "Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image." I hope this provides further clarification for submissions. This thread will be closed to new submissions on the 22nd April 2020 at 1700 GMT. As per usual, one submission per photographer and entries are to be the original work of the submitting photographer . If I open it up for a second entry, I will of course let you know through the Photography Group. However, I really would love to see 30 separate entries so will be nagging and kicking for the next seven days. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT CHATTER IS FORBADEN ON THIS THREAD. SUBMISSIONS ONLY PLEASE. If you want to chat or have a question about the competition come find us here on a thread opened for this specific purpose: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103674869 You can find all the rules for the competition here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103673624 Please take the time to read them, I would hate to have to bounce anyone's picture because it has not stuck to the rules. Please make sure that you include a title in your submission. CONTEST LICENSE: An entrant to this contest, by submitting a photograph, is giving permission for that photograph to be copied to Demopedia or to a linked Gallery and included in a DU Calendar that will display the photographs entered for this contest for the purpose of publicizing future contests and/or commemorating current and past contests. The entrant retains all other rights to the photograph being submitted. Neither Demopedia and/or a linked Gallery may use any photograph submitted for any purpose other than to display the photograph being submitted by the entrant, and neither gains any real or implied ownership rights to the photograph. AND NOW WITHOUT FURTHER ADO.... YOUR COMPETITION IS OPEN. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() WE HAVE HIT OUR 30 SO THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED Thanks to everyone you participated and the voting threads will be up soon

Strange I never noticed you hanging around taking pictures of my birds.
![]() And yes, I have birds who have a nest about four feet to the right of the picture, although my birds are a different species. At least they don't look like this one. |
