Rules & Prizes

In this Critique the Community, we want to see an image (or images) from a personal project you have completed or are still working on. The goal of a personal project is to explore a new theme in a unique and collective way. A few examples could be a series of portraits of people that are related in some way, a series of photos that use a specific lighting setup, a final image that uses compositing to achieve the final effect, or anything else that has inspired you to create something you otherwise might not create through photography. 

As always, each photographer can submit up to three images and only images with descriptions will be chosen for the critique. We want to know how the image was created. How was the concept internalized and executed? Did you use natural light or did you use strobe? Is it real or did you add elements in Photoshop? Are you still working on the project or did you publish it already in some way?

Since this CTC is based around a project, feel free to create a triptych (series of 3 images side by side) as a single entry or simply submit your favorite image from one of your projects and explain how the other images fit in with the submitted photo. 

The highest-rated image and one random image will be chosen to get a free tutorial from the Fstoppers Store

To watch the live critique, make sure you are subscribed to the Fstoppers Live Youtube channel.

Interesting topic. It also seems that there are lot of great photos here. Maybe because it has more a personal subject vibe for a contest.

I turned a child into Ursula… and it got a one star.

I will be very interested in seeing where that person thought I took a snapshot of a half octopus girl.

Do you know my secret? My local aquarium has a octopus girl in the tank right next to the clown fish. I know people think that taking marine life photos at the Aquarium is cheating, but where else can I find A Ursula girl in Ohio?

😅

Everything is about hate. They get bad votes they give bad votes
