📷 Steemit Photo Challenge - SPC 21 Winners and New Theme Announcement! 📷

in #steemitphotochallenge8 years ago (edited)

The Theme was: Reflections

The judge was @shieha

Fantastic entries this week, it was really hard to pick. In the end, it boiled down to the small things like photo quality and distractions on the edge of the frame. There were a lot of creative entries that I really liked that I had to shortlist due to very minor things. - @shieha
