This is the place to submit and vote on photos to be featured on the the main site and on our blog. This contest should showcase your best quality work, demonstrating at least moderate skill with a camera and a general understanding of the artistic aspects of photography. Remember, the selected photo will be displayed on our main site header for a week. Submit something that you and the members of our site will want to look at and admire for seven days! This contest is for the community to choose what they LIKE (not what they dislike), so downvotes aren't allowed — see below for more. Contest FormatStarting in December 2012, this contest follows a new perpetual format with continuously-rolling voting. Submit and vote on photos whenever you like. Every Monday (give or take; it's done by hand when site moderators have a spare moment), the top-voted image will be selected as the winner, and:
Then, the contest will continue with the remaining photos in the thread. (Note that the themed photo contest will work on a different scheme.) Voting Rules
Submitter Rules
Submitter notesBe patient! This contest is relatively obscure, and it takes a while for images to accumulate votes. It's normal for really excellent images to have only one or two upvotes even after a time. The format of the contest should let them rise to the top eventually. Feel free to include a concise description that explains the image, the emotions behind it, and so on, and perhaps some explanation of gear and exposure settings. This site is a collaboration for teaching and learning, so it's great to know those things — but it's not required for the contest. When we get up and running with featuring these photos on the blog, this will provide the opportunity to go into more depth and to engage in conversation about your work. Community Wiki?Please don't make your posts community wiki, or convert the whole thread. (details on that...)

Cheshire Grin
I found her as an orphaned kitten on the streets of a distant city. Today, hopefully, she's much happier. Canon EOS 500D (18-55mm) and a fair bit of Photoshop. Click on the image or here for larger size.

9.2 MP version can be found here (don't know why there's so much moiré on some of the cables, though). Camera info:
