This is the place to submit and vote on photos for the week of 30 April to be featured on the main site. 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), with the most liked being displayed on the main site header for a week.

.: Voting Closes on Apr 29nd at 11:59pm EDT (UTC-4) :.


This week, there is no particular theme for the contest. All photos which would be appropriate for the banner are welcome.


Submissions may be added any day of the week until voting closes. The winning image (with the highest votes) as of the close of voting will be exhibited on the main site.

    The thing that makes this photo is the water clarity - It adds another dimension to the shot.

Alrighty, 'portrait' has to start having some representation here. So here's a shot from this weekend.

    Voting up simply because I think it's time for us to let go of our inhibitions and have a face on PotW. (Nice photo too). I'm assuming she won't mind...
