This weeks theme is 'Numbers in nature'. Please interpret it as widely as possible


As always, standard rules apply:

  • The photographs must be your own work.
  • You may only submit one photo per contest.
  • No commenting or liking photos until after the judging has taken place.
  • This contest runs for about a week, starting now.
  • At the end of the competition, the judge (last week's winner) will choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
  • The 1st place winner will start a new thread here with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
  • Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
Contest closes March 23th at 20:00 CET

9 entries. That is a lot for such a weird topic. Compliments and thanks to all who entered. I am happy that you found the energy and inspiration to submit a suitable photo.

Now it's my turn to challenge myself… ( standard disclaimers apply)

@goldmac2006 The first, brave entry. Two. I like it, although I wonder if a tighter shot with just the fake grass background would have made it more appealing.

@C0ncreteBl0nde 7002! The heat of the engine creates a nice DoF. The front of the train really pops out.

@Chuckeee I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't include a Douglas Adams reference in your shot. :) It's a beautiful and huge clock.

@Snowlover 5! A simple and lovely composition. And a good interpretation of this weeks theme.

@coolguy4747 Another nice interpretation. And a lovely scene.

@derbyshire2013 8! Another unexpected interpretation. I like it. It's a shame that it's a bit blurry.

@_timo_redux_ Lots of number. In nature. All boxes checked. I think I would like it even better if it was just a crop of the base of the tree with the numbers. (To leave something for the imagination)

@arkitect It's always nice to browse through the archives to find a fitting entry. A nice shot. It looks like nature is winning.

@katbel Many. You didn't count them? Tskk. I like the painterly look of the flowers.
