https://steemitimages.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/yvvGTcA.jpg ## You guys did amazing last week! --------- It's been a lot of fun to see so many incredible entries each week, and not quite as much fun to have to choose winners. It is great to be able to see all of different animals and plants in your areas, in some wonderful combination photography! These entries are getting tougher and tougher to judge, but I am glad that you are all still enjoying the contest! http://i.imgur.com/uVNBbyL.jpg ## EXAMPLES ## Before I get into who won the contest last week, I’ll once again review what I am looking for by featuring some combination photos of mine. When I say “*combination photography*” I mean that you should *combine* two elements; plants and animals. At least one plant and at least one animal should be featured in your photo. Here are a few examples. https://s14.postimg.org/cwp1ngl41/IMG_0835.jpg *Brown Snake with Yarrow* https://i.imgur.com/UOUY6uO.png https://s18.postimg.org/ae9ysc6ah/IMG_0792.jpg *Cardinal with Pink Fruit Tree Blossoms* ------------- Besides simply providing the images, I also **require** that those entering this contest provide a *proof photo* as well. Two main versions of *proof photos* exist. One kind features the same combination of plants & animals with a written paper in the photo with your username, the date, contest name, etc. to prove that **you** took the photo for the contest. The other type of proof is just a selfie with the animal and plant. Here are my examples for the photos featured above. https://steemitimages.com/DQmPAcRcPKEFySoF5AVKLBk7LrLA3mhFEYMCRuV9QQT5dLU/IMG_0816.JPG https://s18.postimg.org/ijs0q3pa1/IMG_0803.jpg Once you see the *proof photos* there should not be any doubt in your mind that I actually took the photos I shared above, because you can see me right there! The written proof works in the same way. http://i.imgur.com/uVNBbyL.jpg ## THE WINNERS! ## ----- There were so many excellent entries once again that I struggled to make the decisions, but in the end I had to, didn’t I? The Winner gets 50% of the liquid post payout from the [Week 27 Post](https://steemit.com/contest/@papa-pepper/papa-pepper-s-combination-photography-contest-week-27) and the two runner ups each get 25% of the same. # THE WINNER ## https://steemitimages.com/DQmVWdRANUZ1J49LYcUbUnTWXxETami7cSQVyEU2jzDUHyj/2.jpg https://steemitimages.com/DQmYbwQiYKLdxcti1wbHKuzSsN2SQ8J3t2r4uXyJ3pZZSxg/papa1.jpg # @andesign # 16.4 SBD ## https://i.imgur.com/UOUY6uO.png # FIRST RUNNER UP ## https://steemitimages.com/DQmd62wjiMsC4nSabT1rnpnrPJkB9BaaFMd7mLcUXBQMcM3/kupu2.jpg https://steemitimages.com/DQmUkgamcG2cr7S7d1mxZcKRdXdWtiMBXQijyjGANShdLs5/kupu1%20new.jpg # @poppyyuli # 8.2 SBD ## https://i.imgur.com/UOUY6uO.png # SECOND RUNNER UP ## https://steemitimages.com/DQmQpJoapp6CdAEty8PaqFY2ECa918spa5rCTyuETBDthZc/SAM_1460.jpg https://steemitimages.com/DQmYVAUfGZMdhyFJHt2CS77eRiKbQC3FAoakgwpb8UAyxPU/SAM_1461.jpg # @ibaf04 # 8.2 SBD ## ----- Thank you everyone for all of your efforts and entries! It has been a blessing to check them all out! Although the official way to enter this contest is by including your entry photo and the proof photo in a reply to my post, I strongly encourage others to make an actual post featuring their entry as well. Sometimes people who don’t win get paid more for their post than if they had actually won! https://i.imgur.com/9qd6eqf.jpg ## ON TO WEEK 28! ## ---- By now you should have a clue about what this contest is and how to enter, but here are the official rules just to make sure.
