Photography contest - background creation
Please read the CONTEST GUIDELINES before participating in this contest.
Contest Goal:
Have you ever seen poles growing out of your subject's forehead? Wonderful findings getting virtually invisible in a crowded mess? Well, this week will change everything: you are assigned to take care of the background. Use a cloth, a wallpaper, blur, lighting, whatever you can think of, to make your subject stand out well. Hints: try to get the background as far from your subject as possible, try to get it blurred with a crisp sharp subject, and make it look dimmer than your subject. Limitation: Your background has to have some color. Not black, not white. Make it tangerine, fuchsia, purple, striped, hatched, you name it -- but not deep black and not bright white only.

Contest comments:
darkitten: i really don`t understand this description. To many "englisg native speakers" words in there.... Can somepne lese explain it in just one semple sentence? (2 years and 293 days ago) xstg: I must admit that being french, I can't really get the point here...! (2 years and 293 days ago) xstg: Can we basically enter any shot where the background isn't black or white and where the subjects stands out? (2 years and 293 days ago) Contest Moderator: As we don't want to give away our ids, a comment was deleted. (2 years and 293 days ago) nofue: I retry: shoot some subject which stands out from a clean background. The subject doesn't matter, as long as it is clearly separated from the background, and the background has to show colors or sort of a pattern, be it hatched or striped or 'bubbly'. I'd consider a cloudy sky something of the 'hatched' and 'striped' order 
(2 years and 293 days ago) kyricom: Um, so virtually anything is on theme as long as it's not a black or white background. Cool (2 years and 291 days ago) adeincyprus: looks and sounds like this is an open contest for anything you like!!!.....as long as it has a background and stands out from it.... (2 years and 290 days ago) Gubbles: My entry had a background and a subject that stood out from it but it was removed along with 5 other of my entries this week (2 years and 289 days ago) | 1st place prize | 2nd place prize | 3rd place prize |
