Monochrome Theme
This week's theme is Monochrome. This should be a good one. So what does the term "monochrome" mean?
involving or producing visual images in a single color or in varying tones of a single color (such as gray).source
Images do not have to be in black and white, but they can be varying tones of a single color. Like a picture full of different tones of blues or any other color.
One thing I really like about monochrome photos is that you can really showcase a lot of emotion by getting rid of so many of the distractions that too much color can have. Monochrome is really good for portrait photography because it allows you to really focus on the subject and the emotions that are being displayed in the photos.
I am excited to see what you all can come up with this week for this theme. Be sure to follow the rules though to make sure that your entry is valid. There were a lot of people that did not state what tier they were going to compete in or include a photo from their post in their submission comment.
How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?
Every Sunday, I will announce a new theme for the week and you will have until Saturday to get your submission in. There will be two tiers for the contest. A professional tier and an amateur tier. When making your submission, you must state which tier you will be competing in. I usually get a lot of entries, so make sure to follow all the rules or else your submission won't count and will likely be ignored.
I will not allow any entry that is not your own original photography. If you are caught plagiarizing someone else's work, you will be flagged and banned from participating in any future contest. So make sure that the photos you are submitting are ones that you personally take.
All entries must be done through the Liketu front end. One of the goals of the contest is to create more awareness of Liketu, so make sure that you create your post from https://liketu.com/.
You only get one entry per week, so make sure to spend some time on getting a good photo and creating a fun post about your entry. You will need to submit a link to your post in the comment section of the contest announcement post and you will need to include at least one image from your post in the comment you make. You are encouraged to share more than one image in your post. The more effort you put into your post, the more chance you have for curation and possibly winning your tier.
On top of a chance for curation from Liketu, the top three entries in each tier will be awarded as follows:
| Place | Professional | Amateur |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | 8 Hive | 4 Hive |
| 2nd | 5 Hive | 3 Hive |
| 3rd | 3 Hive | 2 Hive |
Rules overview
- Your entry must be made on Liketu.
- No plagiarism. If you are caught plagiarizing, you will be flagged and banned from future contest.
- You must state the tier you are competing in, Professional or Amateur.
- You must comment on the weekly contest announcement post with a link to your entry and at least one photo from your post.
The rules are pretty easy, so make sure to follow them or your entry will be ignored. Now onto the first theme for the contest!

That was a lovely contest! Congrats to everyone, absolutely wonderful entries!
Thanks for your submission. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this new theme.
Congratulations! A fully deserved award for you and your beautiful friend.
Thank you @bluemoon! I feel so happy and proud about this reward!
On the other hand, Markos says there is no better reward than a long walk and play :)
Thank you very much @derangedvisions :)
You got some great entries here and your choices are super!
Congrats to all the winners!
Ya, there were some pretty cool ones. Hopefully we see more entries this week.
I am sure we will!
Congratulations! Glad to see the value recognized.
Thank you @bluemoon :)
Awesome! Congratulations everyone. Great photos. This week is a bit of a challenge for me, but let's try it. Am I gonna debut this week's contest?
For some reason @liketu didn't upload one of my pictures, so that's the one I'm posting in here for the amateur category. This is a Coati, taken in southern Brazil. I opted for black & white because the sky and background was hidden behind thick mist.

Hi, @derangedvisions! Here are my entries to this week's contest (amateur tier, please):
This one is my favourite:
Post-edit: it seems there's a glitch on some hive front ends, where the first photograph is not displayed correctly. I added a new version of it in an attempt to address the issue (to no avail). This version was edited in Photoshop following this simple tutorial.
(In case this last addition cannot be considered as an entry, please disregard it.)
Please go to the original post on Liketu in order to see all pictures.
Tier: Amateur
Amateur? You @daveks? Come on, don't be shy hahaha
Haha, I wish..
I was wondering if there was any relation to @mrprofessor, and yes.
Uh, yeah. It's me. Daily account is for nudes and main for the usual story-telling
Thanks! I feel honored to win this contest. Congrats to all the other winners as well. And now, I have to keep it up, so trying to get out this week for some cool shots again. I feel the passion again. Now get the passion and the shots back in line. Lol
That’s awesome. I am glad that this contest is motivating you too I go out and get new photos.
Here we are for week number two:

I now see the gif bot made a bad choice for my dog gif request... sorry about this, @derangedvisions!
Hahahaha! Sometimes he does that!
Congratulations to everyone! This sounds like some fun I'll be sure to get involved in it, I've always liked black and white pictures. You're right, the lack of colour helps to not distract so much from the image itself.
Awesome man. Looking forward to your submission.
Congratulations to the winners. A great display of pet photos.
Looking forward to trying one soon in monochrome.
Good luck!

Wow this is a cool contest. I want to join in the monochrome theme.
However, I have a question.
Thank you.
The minimum would be one photo, but the more the merrier. As far as objects, it doesn't matter as long as the photo fits the theme for the week.
thank you for your answer..

Hi @derangedvisions , sir. I am trying to upload pictures on liketu front end but I am unable to do so.
I clicked upload photo. It took me to my gallery. I chose the pic and done it. The pic didn't upload on the editor. What should I do now to take part in the contest?

I wanna know why the hive rewards for my post are declined? Is it the default setting that liketu frontend provides?
Its because you didnt select 100% on the monetization
