Rules & Prizes

This week we are trying something different. We want to see your most cliché, overly done photos. Maybe you've taken a super common image that actually turned out amazing or perhaps it is so cringeworthy you never wanted to show it before. Either way, we are going to pick a random assortment of overly copied images and give you our opinions on why you should avoid them, what could be done to make them better, or maybe, just maybe, why we think one breaks the mold and belongs in your portfolio. This should be a lot of fun.  

As always, each photographer can submit up to three images and only images with descriptions will be chosen for the critique. We want to know how the image was created. Was the photoshoot planned out or did you get lucky? Is it natural light or did you use strobe? Is it real or did you add elements in Photoshop? Why did you think this was a good idea at the time?

The highest-rated image and one random image will be chosen to get a free tutorial from the Fstoppers Store

To watch the live critique, make sure you are subscribed to the Fstoppers Live Youtube channel.

Love this idea. I like when lower rated images are included in the mix - I feel like I learn a lot from those

So it says this was posted 5 hours ago and the deadline is today 6 hours ago? I think someone put the wrong end date on this.
