Hello Fellow Steemians,

First off, I want to thank everyone that entered the contest and submitted their work. I'd also like to thank all of the viewers and upvoters of the contest post.

This contest was open to Photography, Drawing, Painting, CGI, and the theme was open. I made my selection based onthe composition, color, and general quality of the work basically everything I listed in the contest announcement post. Also if the image was actually NSFW since this was a NSFW contest, also the number of images (up to 3 allowed on submission post) so posts with more images will have a greater chance, and also

There were a lot of good submissions... This was harder because there are so many mediums that were submitted and with that being said here are my Ten Selections chosen to receive Whaleshares. The hardest part was to limit it to 10 so that's why I had to use NSFW/ Level of nudity as a factor as 3 entries really are not what I would call NSFW personally.

I only reviewed post that were posted as comments on the Call for Submission posts as per the rules. The post in the discord channel is for the artist to get more exposure and more votes, but it's too hard for me to follow those for the contest. So always make sure you post your submission in a comment on the post as well.

Please upvote and resteem this post so the contest can grow, and then go up vote the winners posts as well if they are still active.

Sadly there were only 8 Submissions for this contest as I would have like to have seen more, but on with the show and my picks.

Prize: 10 Whaleshares

My comments:
This is another computer generated piece and if it was a bit more NSFW it would have ranked much higher. It very original and creative. Make sure you check out the Artist's post to see all of the images.

Prize: 10 Whaleshares

My comments:
I had a similar feeling to this as I did to #6 something felt off to me. Maybe a lack of energy or emotion of the model, I'm not sure exactly what it is. But still a nice effort.

My comments:
Nice... but felt something was lacking and I don't know what exactly. Maybe the pose was not accentuating enough or maybe the model did not stand out to me enough for my tastes others may feel different.

Prize: 10 Whaleshares

My comments:
This is definitely NSFW due to the level of explicity and subject matter of Bondage. Overall nice work. I'd like to have seen black and white version also.

This entry is CGI/Computer Generated. I like the colors, digital model and I was not expecting the composition but I like it. Check out the Artist's page for more info.

I love this image... Everything about it... the model, the setting, the colors, it's a great! Make sure you checkout this post as there is another image. And both images have close up versions focusing on certain detail of the image.

Artist: @gric

Prize: 100 Whaleshares

My comments:
This was hands down my favorite. I was blown away when I saw this. It's amazingly beautiful with all of the textures, colors, shape of the subject and complex looking wings.

This is also why I often like to separate mediums for the contest because it's hard for the average photographer to compete with an amazing painter like this. So I hope to get enough people following the contest so we can put drawn, painted, rendered art, digital art in one category and photography in another and maybe even separate them further as the contest grows.

I want to thank all of the Participants in the contest I enjoyed all of your submissions. Contact me on the Whaleshares Discord Channel to get your Whaleshares Prizes.

Also make sure you check out the NSFW Section on the channel as I will be talking about more upcoming contests I'll be doing and there are other contests as well on the Discord Channel as well. https://discord.gg/CFJ97HW
