Digital Art Contest Round #1 Theme for Round #2 ~ "Awesome Autumn Art."

Announcing the WINNER of the first Digital Art Contest Round #1

CONGRATULATIONS @erikah on your wonderfully innovative and VERY unique Heron Image!!!

This week has flown past and the highlight for me has been watching all the entries come in for this new #digitalartcontest but more importantly, I have been very encouraged to read many enthusiastic comments from the participants. Their sense of adventure was a joy to witness especially as there were a number of Steemians who had not tried this art form previously.

So, not only do I congratulate Erika for her great entry, I congratulate everyone who helped kick start this contest off by creating images abundant in colour, flare and panache. I have to say, that I was truly excited to see the entries as I wasn't sure what level of interest a digital art contest would generate. Now I know.

Here is Erika's entry!

My only regret, is that I am not (yet) in a position to offer 2nd or 3rd prizes. There were so many superb entries which made my job of choosing a winner extremely difficult. As this contest grows, it will be a pleasure to increase the prizes. I need to mention that 2 or 3 entries were disqualified from the contest as the rules were not adhered to, so please read them carefully to avoid disappointment next time.

A big "THANK YOU" to all who promoted this contest and I look forward to seeing what you think of this next one. (Details below)

The theme for this week is "AWESOME AUTUMN ART." So, let me introduce you to another Photo editing site that you may not have used yet. I love many of their filters and effects and they provide a huge range which is bound to increase your digital art addiction even more. It is called Photo Face Fun, but it isn't just about faces. Let me show you.

Here is their link

When you get there, click on the link I circled in yellow.

Then click on "Photo Effects."

N.B.You may use any editing site you wish and any subject. I have given you the Photo Face Fun site because it has a ton of fabulous edits and it is very easy to use. It is also quick to download. I have chosen a Light House for my subject. Then I have chosen four different effects to give you some examples of what I will be looking for. They all feature the season of Autumn.

This is my original photo. Feel free to download it to use it for this contest if you would like to.

Here are three of the autumn themed effects I have used.

And here is a collage of four images that have been created from my original lighthouse photo. N.B. Please do not ask me what a lighthouse is doing in the middle of a forest because I will be obliged to come up with an answer that would most likely be very unsatisfactory. (lol) Digital art is all about creative imagination...….and I have more than my share of imagination.

Now, lets get down to business. Here Are The Rules For This Contest.

  1. Any photos you use to apply digital effects to MUST be your own original photos and taken by yourself.

  2. Only two entries per contest. Include both in the same post to make judging easier AND your original template photo.

  3. Include #digitalartcontest as your first tag.

  4. Create a post featuring your entry/entries and attach the link to your post and a copy of your photo/photos in the comments section of this blog.

  5. Upvote this post.

  6. Resteem this post. The success of this contest will be dependant on the activity and involvement of yourselves and others as they learn of its existence.

  7. Entries close the moment this post expires.

In the interests of being fair to all participants, your entries will be disqualified if these rules are not adhered to.

There will be one winning prize of 1 SBD per contest. This prize will increase if there is enough interest in the contest and naturally I will introduce 2nd and 3rd prizes as soon as it is viable for me to do so.

        What a gorgeous way to greet my day @melinda010100 You have provided us with 2 fabulous works of art featuring the theme of Autumn. I want to walk in that picturesque forest and I am intrigued by the fiery background and dark silhouettes of your second entry. Well done my friend and thanks so much for your early participation.

              I first started back on Tsu, but always liked photos better. I must be expanding my horizons in my old age, because I like the creative process of digital better now.

                Funny you should say that Melinda as it has taken John (my husband) a long time to appreciate digital art but now he is prepared to offer his 'educated' opinion on the subject. (Lol)

                                  Now that is very clever @saulos You've turned a summer azalea into a delicious autumn-toned cherry. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how you did that, but then I remembered just how fascinating digital art can be. We don't have to understand how it is done but we have no difficulty at all in admiring the finished product. Thanks very much for this fascinating entry.
