Assignment Awards:

One winner will be selected based on the criteria "Most Artistic Scenic Photo". The winner will receive 1 free month of Lenspiration membership. In order to be eligible to be chosen as a winner, you must be a Lenspiration member. 

• "Artistic" is defined as having an obvious, eye-catching subject, utilizing intentional composition (such that the eye wants to stay within the frame), and of course, fulfilling the assignment by incorporating light that provides a warm, glowing feeling to the photo.
• "Scenic" is defined as something more than a simple detail in nature or of architecture. Think "a flower in a field" instead of "a flower". Think "a flowering tree in a park" instead of "a branch with buds on it". Think "a covered bridge in the valley" instead of "a covered bridge entrance". Think "sunlight spilling over a mountainscape" instead of "a sunburst". 
• As an experienced landscape photographer, James will be the judge of this assignment.
• The more photos you submit (maximum of 10), the higher your chances of having your photo chosen as the most artistic scenic photo of all the photos submitted!
