In this post I'm presenting the huge effort of Mr. @jasonrussell, an influential member of the #Steemit #community & the initiator of the #portraitcontest. I'm also presenting the week 37 edition of this portrait #photography #contest & my role in it.

In this 37th edition, I'm gonna be a judge! 😎

The theme of this round is "Significant other". What does that mean? How does it sound in your mind? How does it sound in your heart? Who is significant for you?

This theme can interpreted in many ways as any other thing in life cause every couple of eyes has a different view... I'm starting with some positive examples, or at least what I see as positive:

This is my dearest mother - she is definitely the significant person in my life! Check the next link:

But maybe there are people in your life who negatively influenced you & your personality development but also they were the "significant others" too! Most probably, these kind of haven't been a very common subject of your photography but who knows?!

For example, the guy on the very left side of this photography made me feel very low for many times. He's a freak control, selfish & with almost no empathy but he was definitely a "significant other"in my life cause he also made me realize that these kind of people I don't want near me & he thought me how to recognize these characteristics in other & myself & helped me not to be like that!

Unfortunately this photo describes the very strong connection between while it was still falsely positive & while I was still trusted him. The couple on the right are magnificent people - also the "significant others"! (I'm not sure if the group portrait are allowed.)

Than, you can apply portraits of your teachers, professors, family members, your favorite or most hated writers / artist, sportsmen/women, (ex) girlfriends / boyfriends, maybe a homeless guy / lady on the street to whom you admire for the will to continue living in such inhumane conditions...

There are plenty of solutions! Just be creative! The significant others are just next to you! Open your 👀 & your 💗 💙 💚 💛 💜 too! Recognize the significance!

As a judge I am not applying for the contest cause I cannot judge myself 😋 but I'm giving you a nice portrait of another significant one from my life:
She brought a lot of light in my life but also so much pain - definitely a significant one! 😐
