'Rainy days' 
The overcast sky is an excellent chance to seek natural lighting. Also notice raindrops on the leaves or flowers, puddles in the ground or wet hair. When you take photos in the rain, it is better to choose dark backgrounds. The reason is that it creates a gloomy atmosphere that corresponds to the rainy weather and dramatic look. Take your umbrella and view the moody and beautiful submissions.

The winners with the most votes are: 
1st place : DDiArte
2nd place: Antonyus Bunjamin (Abe)
3rd place : Alahattin Kanlioglu

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions. 
Thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Rainy days'

Current contest theme is 'Autumn's wonderful mood'
Autumn is one of the most rewarding seasons for photographers. Vibrant leaves, misty mornings, and golden light can transform an ordinary scene into something unforgettable. But as inspiring as fall colors are, they can also be tricky to capture. Dull skies, flat light, or oversaturated tones often leave images looking less impressive than what you saw in the field.

This contest will end on Sunday the 25th of October at midnight.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.
