Hello World!
This is the 125th Edition of the Photochain challenge TESTNET on Steem. The Photochain Challenge is a blockchain-like photography contest. If you would like to know more about, read the Photochain TESTNET Edition ZERO on STEEM. There, I explained the functioning of the contest and how to join.
In this post, I'll announce the 2 (two) winners of the 124th Edition of the TESTNET contest. Within the next 72 hours, I'll reward both of them with 1.5 STEEM - as previously explained - and will post in the comment section of the 124th EDITION.
And the Winner is...
The edition number 124 of the TESTNET phase counted 5 (five) valid participants.
The two Key-Subjects were:
Flower and Cat
These are the 2 (two) winners of the edition:
Winner 1
Gertu
with a curious cat near a flower.
The personal subject is Plant.
Winner 2
Solperez
with some cats guarding the house.
The personal subject is White.
Even this week we concluded with a good participation, so I though to add two special awards to two honorable mentions (for the just-ended edition): 0.75 STEEM each.
The first honorable mention is:
and the second honorable mention is:
by @adinapoli
Congratulations to the authors of the photos.
Thank you EVERYONE for participating in this week's contest!
@dim753
IMPORTANT!!!
I explained in the TESTNET EDITION NUMBER ZERO Post that you can participate by submitting a photo in the comment section: you must be the author of the photo.
The photo must contain the two Key-Subjects - I will write below - and another key-subject of your choice (the subject must be contained in the photo). I also explained HERE how the key-subjects will change and the criteria with which I'll choose them. Below, I'll mention all the rules. If you have any doubt, follow the practical examples in the TESTNET ZERO EDITION and learn about the contest there. If you post on your blog, remember to use the #photochain tag.
STEPS and RULES: first part
1) SUBMIT IN THE COMMENT SECTION:
- The photo that contains the two Key-Subjects;
- A Comment with the two Key-Subjects + another subject of your choice but CONTAINED in the photo. (If you posted the image in your blog, you can post the link to that page, but you must add your photo in the comment section anyway);
2) ONLY IF YOU WANT: mention another person you think would like this challenge;
3) NO FOLLOW, UPVOTE, RESTEEM REQUIRED;
4) WAIT FOR THE NEXT WEEK: time limit to join is to 3 hours before the edition post Payout; I'll announce the winners after that moment.
RULES: second part
You can join with 1 (one) photo only each edition.
The PHOTO MUST BE TAKEN BY YOU (any device, like professional camera, smartphone, and so on).
Key-subjects must consist of a single word; multiple words are allowed only if the combination indicates a well-defined object/subject (for example "street lamp").
The entry photos MUST CONTAIN the two key-subjects indicated in the launch of the edition.
The entry photos MUST CONTAIN the third key-subject indicated by the participant.
The third key-subject has to be different from the first two key-subjects.
The duration of the contest is: from the start announcement post to 3 (three) hours before the post payout time of that post.
I'll advance with the prize-sending 3 (three) days approx after the finish of the weekly edition. I'll write the transaction ID in the winners' announcements post (practical example for educational purposes only: after 72 hours about from the winners' announcement, whoever wins the 10th edition will find a comment under the launch post of the 10th edition, containing the transaction identification link).
Participation is open in Italian and English. Not having knowledge of different alphabets, I ask those who want to participate to first make a translation of the proposed key-subjects together with the photo.
NO PLAGIARISM!
No SPAM!
Basic editing is allowed.
Each color cover is allowed, including Black and White.
You mustn't use graphic design and/or add part of other image and/or use deep editing like Photoshop-guided rebuilding processes: this is a photography contest!
GIFs are allowed only 1) if the duration is less or equal to 10 seconds; and 2) if it represents a view of the same objects/subjects and not a rebuilt-video; and 3) if the key-subjects remain in the foreground for the whole duration of the GIF.
I ADVISE you about the photo you want to propose: there are some Law rules in each State, and I know that using photo of people or photographing private properties could get you into some troubles. Make sure you're not infringing on anyone's rights when you post your photos on the web.
Each Theme is allowed: no censorship except for extremely explicit content. The nsfw contents are allowed but, if I choose a nsfw photo as a winner, I will not insert it as an image in the official post (only as a mention or a link to the published post).
IMPORTANT: I invite the participants to use fairly large categories as subjects so as not to sabotage participation. You mustn't use proper names (of cities, places, mountains, species, etc).
Another example: don't use words like London, or Danube, or Mark, or Blue Crab; or don't use the snow bear subject, just animal or bear. Naturally, in case of equally deserving photos, I will consider a photo of an animal that isn't often photographed in a more relevant way than a simple domestic cat.
The more general the category of the meaning of the word used as a subject is, greater the participation in the competition will be, greater the prizes and the fun will be in the future.
Are you Ready?
START!
This weekly edition is the:
125th Edition of the Photochain Testnet
The KEY-SUBJECTS for this week are:
PLANT and WHITE
Greetings to all of you, my dear friends. Unfortunately, even this week I had to give up on replying to everyone. A nasty bout of flu kept me away from social media, and I only made it back just in time to assign the prizes and work through the new results. I truly hope things will improve from here on, and that we’ll soon be back to full speed. That said, I can see you didn’t hold back and that participation remained strong and steady. So, once again, thank you. Let’s move straight on to the new edition, featuring our pair of key subjects: Plant and White. I hope you already have a proposal ready, or that the right subjects are right there beside you. Looking forward to seeing you in the comments—warm greetings to you all…
GOOD LUCK!
TIME TO JOIN!
Now it's your turn.

Puoi trovare i nuovi soggetti chiave dopo la sezione contenente il regolamento.

Ciao mondo!
Questa è la Centoventicinquesima edizione della Photochain TESTNET su Steem. La Photochain Challenge è un concorso fotografico dal funzionamento di base simile a quello di una blockchain, cioè "a catena". Se vuoi saperne di più, leggi l'Edizione ZERO della Photochain TESTNET su STEEM. In quel post spiegavo il funzionamento del concorso e come poter parteciparvi.
In questo post annuncerò i 2 (due) vincitori della Centoventiquattresima edizione della versione TESTNET del concorso. Entro le prossime 72 ore ricompenserò entrambi con 1.5 STEEM - come spiegato in precedenza - e pubblicherò nella sezione commenti della CENTOVENTIQUATTRESIMA EDIZIONE.
E il vincitore è...
La centoventiquattresima edizione della fase di TESTNET ha visto 5 (cinque) partecipazioni valide.
I due Soggetti-chiave erano:
Fiore e Gatto
Questi sono i 2 (due) vincitori dell'edizione:
Vincitore numero uno
Gertu
con un gatto curioso vicino a un fiore.
Il soggetto personale è Pianta.
Vincitore numero due
Solperez
con alcuni gatti a guardia di una casa.
Il soggetto personale è Bianco.
Anche per questa edizione abbiamo avuto una buona affluenza, per cui ho pensato di aggiungere (per l'edizione appena conclusa) due premi speciali da assegnare a due menzioni d'onore: 0,75 STEEM per ognuna di loro.
La prima menzione d'onore è:
e la seconda menzione d'onore è:
di @adinapoli
Congratulazioni!
Grazie a TUTTI per aver partecipato al contest di questa settimana!
IMPORTANTE!
Ho spiegato nel Post dell'EDIZIONE NUMERO ZERO della TESTNET che puoi partecipare inviando una foto nella sezione commenti, e che devi essere l'autore della foto.
La foto deve contenere i due Soggetti-Chiave - che comunicherò più avanti in questo post - e un altro soggetto-chiave a tua scelta (il soggetto deve essere contenuto nella foto). Ho anche spiegato QUI come cambieranno gli argomenti-chiave nel corso del tempo e i criteri con cui li sceglierò. Di seguito menzionerò tutte le regole. Se hai qualche dubbio, segui gli esempi pratici che trovi nel post dell'EDIZIONE NUMERO ZERO della TESTNET e scopri tutto quello che hai curiosità di sapere. Se pubblichi i post sul tuo blog, ricordati di utilizzare il tag #photochain.
PASSI da seguire e REGOLE: prima parte
1) NELLA SEZIONE COMMENTI, INVIA:
- La FOTO che contiene i due SOGGETTI CHIAVE;
- Un COMMENTO con i due Soggetti chiave + un ALTRO SOGGETTO a tua scelta che sia contenuto nella foto. (Se hai pubblicato l'immagine sul tuo blog, puoi pubblicare il link a quella pagina, ma DEVI COMUNQUE AGGIUNGERE la tua foto nel commento). La ricerca sui tag o le notifiche hanno spesso mostrato problemi e non posso garantirti che riuscirò a trovare la tua partecipazione se non segui questa procedura;
2) SOLO SE VUOI: menziona un'altra persona che ritieni possa apprezzare questa sfida;
3) NESSUN FOLLOW, UPVOTE, RESTEEM RICHIESTI (ma sarò più che felice di riceverli);
4) ASPETTA LA SETTIMANA SUCCESSIVA: il tempo limite per partecipare è fissato a 3 ore prima del pagamento del post di lancio dell'edizione; la proclamazione dei vincitori verrà effettuata dopo questo traguardo.
REGOLE: seconda parte
Puoi partecipare con 1 (una) sola foto per ogni edizione.
La FOTO DEVE ESSERE SCATTATA DA TE (con qualsiasi dispositivo, come fotocamera professionale, smartphone, e così via).
I soggetti chiave devono essere costituiti da una singola parola; sono consentite più parole solo se l'insieme indica un oggetto/soggetto ben definito (per esempio "street lamp" che è la traduzione inglese di "lampione")
Le foto proposte DEVONO CONTENERE i due soggetti chiave indicati nel post di lancio dell'edizione.
Le foto proposte DEVONO CONTENERE il terzo soggetto chiave indicato da ogni utente che proponga la propria foto.
Il terzo soggetto chiave deve essere diverso dai primi due soggetti chiave.
La durata del concorso va dalla pubblicazione del post di lancio di ogni edizione fino a 3 (tre) ore prima dell'orario di pagamento di quel post (che avviene circa 7 giorni dopo).
L'invio del montepremi avverrà circa 3 (tre) giorni dopo la conclusione dell'edizione settimanale. Comunicherò il codice identificativo della transazione in un commento al post di lancio dell'edizione vinta (esempio pratico a scopo soltanto didattico: chi vincerà la 10a edizione troverà un commento sotto il post di lancio della 10a edizione, contenente il link alla transazione).
La partecipazione è aperta in lingua italiana e inglese. Non avendo conoscenze di alfabeti differenti, chiedo a chi voglia partecipare di effettuare prima una traduzione dei soggetti chiave proposti assieme alla foto.
È VIETATO IL PLAGIO!
Niente SPAM!
È consentito l'editing di base (colori, saturazioni, luci e ombre, nitidezza, contrasti, eccetera).
È consentita qualsiasi versione cromatica, incluso il bianco e nero.
Non è consentito utilizzare grafiche e/o aggiungere parti di altre immagini e/o utilizzare editing profondi come per esempio processi di ricostruzione di immagini guidati da Photoshop o da altre intelligenze artificiali: questo è un concorso fotografico!
Le GIF sono ammesse solo: 1) se la durata è inferiore o uguale a 10 secondi; e 2) se rappresenta un'inquadratura degli stessi soggetti/oggetti e non un montaggio video; e 3) se i soggetti-chiave rimangono in primo piano per tutta la durata della GIF.
UN CONSIGLIO riguardante la foto che vuoi proporre: ci sono alcune norme di Legge in ogni Stato, e so che usare foto di persone o fotografare proprietà private potrebbe metterti nei guai. Assicurati di non violare i diritti di nessuno quando pubblichi le tue foto su Internet.
Ogni Tema è consentito: nessuna censura, tranne che per contenuti estremamente espliciti. I contenuti nsfw sono ammessi ma, se scelgo come vincitrice una foto nsfw, non la inserirò come immagine nel post ufficiale (ma soltanto come menzione e con un link al post pubblicato).
IMPORTANTE: ho invitato e invito i partecipanti a utilizzare come soggetti chiave categorie abbastanza ampie e "generaliste", così da non sabotare la partecipazione. Non è consentito usare nomi propri (di città, luoghi, montagne, specie, ecc.).
Un altro esempio: non utilizzare parole come Londra, o Danubio, o Mark, o Granchio blu; oppure non utilizzare l'oggetto orso delle nevi, ma soltanto animale o orso. Naturalmente, a parità di risultato, considererò più meritevole la foto di un animale che non viene fotografato spesso rispetto ad un semplice gatto domestico.
Più il significato della parola che userai come soggetto chiave sarà generale e ampio, maggiore sarà la partecipazione al contest, maggiore sarà quindi il divertimento ed eventualmente il montepremi per le edizioni future.
Sei pronto?
INIZIAMO!
Questa edizione settimanale è la:
CENTOVENTICINQUESIMA edizione della TESTNET Photochain
I SOGGETTI-CHIAVE per questa settimana saranno:
PIANTA e BIANCO
Un saluto a tutti voi, carissimi. Purtroppo anche questa settimana ho dovuto abbandonare la possibilità di rispondere a tutti. Una brutta influenza mi ha trattenuto fuori dai social, e sono rientrato giusto in tempo per allocare i premi ed elaborare i nuovi risultati. Spero che le cose possano migliorare di qui in avanti, e che presto torneremo a pieno regime. Vedo però che non vi siete tirati indietro e che avete mantenuto una degna affluenza. Pertanto, grazie di nuovo. Adesso passiamo subito alla nuova edizione, con la coppia di soggetti chiave formata da Pianta e Bianco. Spero che abbiate sotto mano una proposta pronta, o che i soggetti giusti siano lì accanto a voi. Aspettando di vedervi tra i commenti, a tutti quanti...
BUONA FORTUNA!
IL MOMENTO è ARRIVATO!
Adesso è il tuo turno.
Hi @davidesimoncini. Here's my entry for this week.
This is an Echeveria succulent plant which my wife tried to propagate. It wasn't a success but she is still determined to grow them in the future. Here, the plant is shown with white pebbles around it.
My Personal Keyword is Wood.
PLANT / WHITE / WOOD
Good luck everyone. Still hoping you can make it this week as the keywords are quite simple and easy to find. @soulfuldreamer @wakeupkitty.pal @henryclive @olivia08 @serdak @xiao-aine. Come and join us 😊
Perfect entry, Gems. I hope your wife will reach her goal. Meanwhile, welcome to your new proposal. A big good luck! :D
Posting...
I have to think and search for a plant still alive.
Great entry, thanks for mentioning me.
🍀❤️
I know it's winter over there but you might have a couple of photos taken last summer? Would you believe my entry photo was taken 4 years ago? Hoping you make it 🤞
Let me check again ...I believe you. Are you out of plants?
Hehehe No, I am not. I actually had a whole lot of other photos but my sidekick cum photochain consultant chose this one which just happened to be taken over 4 years ago.
This was supposed to be my entry which should be more to your liking. That's Sheila Mae sunbathing beside a pot Whale Fins.
LOL yes, you are right. This is the picture I would pick!
Now why did I think that? 😁😁😁 Must be something in your name that made me think you like cats 🤣🤣😊😊
🤔 let's see....
Wake up?
🤣
Sheila Mae you won!
🍀❤️
@wakeupkitty
Really!??!! Yes. Thank you. 😄😄😄
That succulent plant your wife has is beautiful. I only have one of these plants. I bought it in August and it's very slow-growing. It hasn't grown even a centimeter yet, but it's alive. hehe
Plant/ white/lamp
Your house looks very cozy. I love the plants and they are all healthy. The sword plant provides a very nice contrast to the other plants. You definitely have clean air inside the house. The sword plant is one of 10 plants that purify the air as per report from NASA. Perfect as usual 👌 Good luck and nice of you to join again ☺️
This is indeed a surprise. Thanks for your support and encouragement ❤️
Wow, a lot of plants. Thanks for coming back, Soulfuldreamer. Welcome to the current edition and a big good luck! :)
White, Plant, Book
A clean environment is possible with the presence of plants. Reading a book in such an environment is a different pleasure. My selected object is a book.
@jayoti
@muhammad
@sadaf
At first I thought it was a real plant, but looking at it better I realize that it is an ornamental plant. In the same way, it is beautiful and contrasts.
Plants, whether real or fake, give a sense of beauty and freshness in every way, which is why I thought it appropriate to use fake plants in line with the theme of this competition.
Yes, I agree with you. You did a good job.
I liked the composition. The book stands out against that white background.
Me gustó la composición. El libro destaca sobre ese fondo blanco.
Thanks
Great idea, thank you for joining, Hafsasaadat90. Welcome to the current edition and a big good luck :D
Thanks for your good words
To you for following Photochain :)
Very relaxing atmosphere. Awesome photo. Good luck to you ☺️
Thanks dear
ITA: Sedili bianchi vicino alle piante . Parola suggerita - Gradinata
EN: White seats near the plants. I suggest the word Staircase
Pianta e Bianco + Gradinata / Plant and White + Staircase
Perfetta, grazie di essere tornato anche questa settimana. Benvenuto ancora una volta e in bocca al lupo! :D
My entry
PLANT / WHITE / CHAIR
Perfect entry, thanks for joining Dim753. Welcome to the current edition and a big good luck! :)
Thank you so much
Peaceful ambiance for a cup of coffee and some sweet rolls. Hope the coffee isn't so expensive. Best of luck to you this week 🙏
Thank you so much
Actually, I find this the best photo. Just a pity you don't share a few words.
Thank you very much, my keyword is chair
white/plant/stork
Behind my house are many mangrove trees and kedondong pagar trees, and in the dried fishponds, I can see many white herons catching fish.
There's also my cat White sitting on the bench behind the house after the rain has stopped, relaxing there while watching the chickens and the many white herons.
Invite @wakeupkitty, @solperez, @hafsasaadat90
Perfect entry, Suryati. Welcome back to Photochain :)
I didn't understand so well... which subject did you choose as your customized one?
Meanwhile, welcome to this edition and a big good luck :D
Sorry I forgot, it's been a long time since I participated here, okay I've fixed it
No worry, we'll wait if you want to join again :)
Thank you so much 🙏
The photo is a natural composition, depicting the surroundings: plants, birds, water, more plants, cats, old junk... Everything turned out beautifully. Thank you for the invitation.
La foto es una composición natural, que describe el entorno: plantas, aves, agua, plantas, gatos, trastes viejos... Todo quedó muy bien. Gracias por la invitación.
You're welcome my friend, yes....that's the situation around my house, open the kitchen door straight to the fishpond and you can see lots of storks catching fish because the water in the fishpond is dry
Your cat is white like snow.
Yes, that's why I named him si utih (white brother) because his feathers are white.
Cute
This white kitten must be thinking how to hunt one of those herons.
That's right, but to this day, they haven't caught a single stork, but they always manage to bring home small birds, sometimes bringing home three carcasses in one day.
If I saw one when they brought it home and it was still alive, I would take it and care for it until it recovered and then release it back into the wild.
But unfortunately, that rarely happens.
I don't like cats bringing dead animals into the house. Apparently, it means they want to share their delicious meals with their pack. We are part of their pack.
My kitten also brings me mice, lizards, and other little things. It's terrible, hehehe.
Yes, that's absolutely right, my friend. My cats only catch and play with them, but they don't eat them. Usually, they bring them home alive, but because they're used as toys, they end up dying.
If I had seen them from the start, I would have helped them. After they died, they would have just left them.
What kind of fish are grown in the fishpond? It must be very healthy living in this situation where fresh fish can be had everyday. Nice entry. Good luck.
Of course friends, we always eat fresh fish every day, in our fishponds we cultivate milkfish, grouper, shrimp, and crabs too.
You are very fortunate. Except for milkfish all the rest are very expensive here in our place. Grouper especially followed by crabs. I just love these 🫠
Yes, in our area, milkfish and grouper are generally raised, but only when there are plenty of grouper fry in the sea.
People usually go out to catch grouper fry and net them to sell. They also know exactly when the grouper hatch and bring them back to the sea to sell, while others are kept.
When grouper is harvested, they quickly become rich because the price is high, unlike milkfish.
Crabs are expensive during Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year. We even once sold a single jumbo crab for Rp 400,000.
Unfortunately, we no longer keep them because they are often stolen.
Are all these birds in the background storks?
Yes
The pathetic left over of a plant... Let's hope it survives winter, a few more months to go.
Davide I checked, 3 hours till the payout so I am in time 😉
Look @gems.and.cookies for sure your plant looks way better than mine.
plant - white - gnome
Hahaha 😂 But truth be told, I've had worse but lived to remind me of how resilient they are. I think this will make it. Looks like a spider plant to me and if it is, that's one of the almost indestructible plant known to mankind 😄
That indestructible is true... so let's hope it survives winter.... once the weather is better I show it again. How is yours? Still outside sunbathing?
Perfectly in time, thanks for joining :)
Welcome to the current edition and a big good luck! :D
This is a lily plant from my garden, with beautiful white flowers and yellow pistils.
White- plants- Yellow
So beautiful, thank you for coming back. Welcome to the new edition, Gertu. A big good luck and a nice new week :D
Thank you, have a blessed week too.
How I wish I had lilies in the garden. Lilies are the flowers that our community patron saint, Sta. Maria Goretti, is identified with. Very nice entry. Good luck to you ☺️
How beautiful what you say! Saint Maria Goretti, I knew nothing about this saint.
St. Maria Goretti is one of the youngest canonized saints in the Church. She died tragically on July 6, 1902, at the age of 11 after forgiving her attacker. Maria is known as The Little Saint of Great Mercy.
🍀❤️
@wakeupkitty
What a wonderful surprise. Thank you @steemcurator09 and @wakeupkitty. Love it when you do this 😄
Yes, now that you mention it, I've heard her story before, here one afternoon during Holy Hour on Thursdays at my parish.
What a beautiful image, and the lilies are just like the ones I have.
Thank you so much for the information.
Gracias por la mención. Un abrazo.
A pleasure :)
Congratulations to the winners
