📷 Steemit Photo Challenge - SPC 41 WINNERS & NEW THEME ANNOUNCEMENT 📷 plus SPECIAL NOTICE

NOTICE:

Please read:

We are going to test out a change with the SPC. In order to facilitate a more sustainable SPC in terms of prizes, we are now going to allow 2 weeks for entries giving time for the post rewards to pay out to be used as the prizes.

I will give clear dates for deadlines from hereon.

Two weeks!

The deadline for entries for SPC41 is now June 7th 04:00 AM UTC — Just make sure you get the entries in before Tuesday June 6th in your timezone and you’ll be fine. Winners will be announced on Friday June 9th.

Again, this is to make the SPC more self-sustaining in terms of payouts going towards the prizes.

It also means that you have more time to plan your shoots and get new images in, which will be great!

If you have suggestions, leave some comments :)

Of course, full support to this wonderful competition. Upvoted & resteemed. Just one question: are the cityscapes excluded from the “landscape” cathegory, and if they are, will there be “cityscape” as a separate theme?

Cityscape could very well be a theme in the future :)

I'm excited about this contest, I only have my Moto X to take pictures with at this point in time but I love photography. It's kind of hard to shine at all with these beautiful digital camera photos to pick from, but that's okay I learn by viewing every photograph I see. It's great that you have a contest like this on Steemit. Thanks ! Resteemed.

You can take great photos with all kinds of cameras, most of it is in having a good eye!

Thanks for the encouragement and I think I do have a good eye 😁

A fantastic selection of Landscape shots and very well judged ! @jasonrussell
All the honourable mentions are very worthy of inlusion and the top 3 are brilliantly executed both technically & artistically.

Congratulations to all the entrants, winners and mentions.. looking forward to Animal Portraits.. They say never work with 'animals or children'!
Best of Luck Everyone.. I'll be checking out the winner's work
@jonpiehl @oliverkay @shieha

Congratulations guys! Very nice photos... I was hoping to be one of the luckiest but it was very hard as your photos are amazing too!

Many thanks for the mention! I am glad you considered it worthy enough to join the rest of these beautiful images. Great selection, as always... :)

That's an incredible shot!

I'm very pleased that you think that! Thanks!

What a fantastic work putting this all together -
