I think it was an interesting and fun theme to participate in but it didn't really generate photography that is really fun to look at here in this winners post. If this is really going to be used to try to draw-in more members, we might look for some more light-hearted, fun, pleasurable style themes and topics. Just a thought.
Come to Steemit, where we have lots of fun, in dark, solemn, depression.
Thanks for the feedback. This one was a bit dark, but the first two were fairly light - "Animal Portrait" and "Shadows". Must have balance in life, it's not all roses and puppies :)
The challenges for me are mostly about highlighting photographers that are already using the platform but haven't gotten a lot of exposure, and generating more original content. I haven't really pushed the contest outside of Steemit at all.
Stay tuned for the next one, it won't be dark solemn and depressing :)
