Photo Contest: 4 Letter Words

PhotographyPosted by Staaan

The world is filled with items and objects with their names spelled with only 4 letters; shoe, barn, baby, farm, ... and literally thousands more. This contest is designed to get you to appreciate them by taking creative pictures.

Find what you appreciate most with a four-letter word, pull out your camera, take several shots, and upload your best!

The main subject of your photo must represent the 4 letter word. Write this word in the description of your entry, or as a reply. Also, include where the photo was taken. Abstract topics are allowed, but make sure to provide an explanation.

To get some inspiration, have a look at this 'four-letter words' contest on Pxleyes 4 years ago:

This picture depicts well the aggressiveness of the swan :D Gorgeous creature

Btw, do you mind setting an avatar so you are more easily distinguished?

You can do so in the top left menu under 'settings'. Crop avatar and hit save!

YIKES...whole lot of action caught with your high speeding shutter speed. You amputated part of his wing...but it does give the feeling that he is jumping into the frame.

Quote:- "You amputated part of his wing...." Well, the swan's action was quite unexpected. There was no time to compose properly. I had to fire the shutter instinctively to capture the "decisive moment" when the action was at its peak. Otherwise, the moment is lost.

..........and you did this so well capturing the decisive moment...a second slower or sooner would not have given you the dynamism that we enjoy.
