Selection for the CAPA “Curves and Lines” competition. Please submit up to two images no later than NOON Sunday, March 16th.
Send your images to BPSComp@outlook.com. To avoid problems with email software resizing the images, add them as attachments to the email rather than embedding them in the body of the message.
The themes for this competition are:
Geometry in Nature – images that capture interesting natural shapes and patterns like spirals, fractals waves, etc… This theme highlights the curve and repetitions found in the natural world or created within a photographic image.
Landscape – images capturing interesting architectural shapes, leading lines, patterns in rural or urban environments. This theme focuses on curves, geometry, and visual rhythm in man-made surroundings.
Minimal Still Life – simple, clean images of everyday objects arranged in repetitive patterns or positions to emphasize their curves and lines. This theme aims to find the curve and visual interest in mundane items.
Motion and Flow – image capturing the curves and created by moving elements such as people, animals, vehicles, water, smoke etc. This theme focuses on using curves to show movement and energy.
Kaleidoscope Curves – image featuring interesting reflective symmetry (where shape or pattern is reflected in a mirror line or a line of symmetry),or a kaleidoscopic effect. Images will showcase curves, lines, and geometric shapes found in modern architecture. Submissions can feature architectural details such as stairs, railings, windows, bridges, and other structural elements. Creative perspectives showcasing the artistry of modern architectural designs are encouraged.
Most editing techniques are permitted. NOT permitted are:
Elements with non-photographic origin
Frames, borders etc. They don't explicitly mention vignettes but I'd recommend not adding any that aren't naturally in the image.
AI techniques including in-painting (content-aware fill) and out-painting or generative imagery.
The usual size restrictions of 1400x1050 apply (that is, the image must meet one of those dimensions and not exceed either), and maximum file size is 1.8MB.
