Concours Photo du mois d'août 2016 "Le cadre dans le cadre"
by Maevita
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Bon alors Jakatite passe en position 4 ...
Le cadre n'a pas tenu le choc. Pourtant, l'enfant n'était même pas monté dessus ..
Dur dur la vie !
Les saines valeurs résisteront toujours à la folle marche du monde. Commissaire Laurence.
En tous domaines le cadre offre lorsqu'il est défini avec précision, rigueur et bienveillance... un espace de liberté infini.
Alors plutôt que de chercher [à se bousculer] [à se doubler] à se dépasser... les forces se sont surpassées et il n'y a pas eu à recadrer .
" Le cadre ... Les cadres " Merci à vous deux et chapeau bas pour tout.
Minala 2... 3 points
Emma78 1... 2 points
Kinousam 1... 1 point

La liberté, c'est un cadeau qu'on se fait à soi-même - (L.Gauthier)

Il y avait bien la tentation de Venise mais avec ce penchant de Floetlaura pour la décapitation des gondoliers et des artisans, j'ai hésité.
Et les cadres de vélo, mais il y a toujours la crainte d'en attraper un petit...
Il y avait les miroirs au péril de s'y voir.
Enfin, contaminé par l'hystérie ambiante, j'ai exclu toute référence à un culte dans l'espace public.
Alors, je me suis rassuré en votant sans conséquences (mais non sans conviction): 3 pts pour le cadre bridé de Ragamuffin_1 2 pts pour le train mille-pattes de Pyrene64_1. 1 pt pour Kinousam_1. Le point de vue du lynx et l'étrange visage, Lego minéral, qui hurle sa peur.

Bonsoir,
Merci pour le thème de ce mois-ci.
Voici mes choix :

Je suis comblée par photos postées. Un véritable trésor de créativité, d'originalité et de diversité. Le vote est finalement le seul aspect qui me déplaît dans ce concours parce que donner des points à l'une veut dire ne pas pouvoir en donner à d'autres.
Voici mon vote:
1. Floelaura 1, 3 points
2. Ming2 1, 2 points
3. Ming2 2, 1 point
Beaucoup de photos m'ont plu. Je mentionne quelques-unes dans le désordre Pyrene64 1, Kanibé 1, Maya 1 et 3, Minala 1 et 2, CatherineGil 3, Geob 2, Elefantaisie 1, Jemaflor 1 et 2, Kate 1
1. Floelaura 1, 3 points

Bonjour,
Ehhhhh bien ! 🙂 Un gros merci à tous ceux qui ont voté pour mes photos, que ce soit l'une ou l'autre placées sur le podium... Ça me fait particulièrement plaisir car elles sont parmi mes préférées (concernant mon dernier voyage). Les bicitaxis n'étaient pas faciles à cadrer, il y avait toujours une partie de l'un qui me gênait au premier plan. Quant à « L'homme au rideau de fer », il était à la même place les deux jours où je suis passée dans la vieille Havane, je lui ai demandé ce qu'il faisait, (s'il dormait là), il gardait une sorte d'entrepôt qui m'a paru vide...
Floetlaura, bravo pour ta seconde place ! Je n'ai pas hésité à la mettre première. Je t'imagine accroupie dans cette cour inondée, attendant le passage du gondolier...
Et bravo à tous les autres, Minala qui n'est pas loin derrière, j'aime particulièrement cette rue pavée, et Pyrene64.
Je vous prépare donc le thème du mois de septembre, que je mettrai en ligne demain. Plusieurs idées, mais j'ai déjà choisi un thème qui me semble facile. On verra !
Problème pour le diaporama... 😕 je fais appel à nouveau aux bonnes volontés. Qui va s'en charger sans trop de souffrances ?
Bien sûr merci à Maevita qui a pris du galon, à Kate qui s'est battue avec Picasa et Herikles qui surveille, pas loin.

Et à l'autre Catherine pour son maniement du diaporama ( c'est pas de la tarte, je viens de me battre avec pour mes photos personnelles de vacances ! )
Et bien sûr à Maevita, qui a animé avec gentillesse et efficacité ce concours.

Bravo Catherine !
Tu as toujours des photos très intéressantes, tu mérites bien cette 1ère place.
Et chapeau Floetlaura pour cette photo "prise sur le vif" !
Merci pour vos commentaires sur ma photo de train Belge. C'est rigolo car c'est la première fois que je prends une photo spécialement destinée à participer au concours, sans fouiller dans mes archives !!
Vive le prochain !

Toi ? 😏 Pour ma part ce fût ...dans la douleur. Heureusement Herik a aidé pour l'accouchement. Il connait et pratique mieux que nous mais tâtonne quand même, c'est dire !

Bravo Ming pour ces premieres et troisiemes places, Bravo Floetlaura egalement .
Merci a ceux qui ont aimé mes photos, voici deux mois ou j'arrive tres proche du podium, a vrai dire cela me rejouit car cela dit que mes photos ont plues alors, merci
Vivement le prochain
Bravo pour ces 2 places sur le podium.
Hâte de connaître le sujet suivant, à croire que l'on pourrait devenir accros ?😉
Félicitations encore à tous les participants et merci pour toutes les photos du fil de la discussion. Ainsi qu'un merci à ceux qui oeuvrent pour la réalisation du concours.
Bonne journée à tous et à bientôt
Toi ? 😏
Pour ma part ce fût...dans la douleur. Heureusement Herik a aidé pour l'accouchement.
Et si on demandait à Yolande (Lacalo), qui a l'air d'avoir un compte Picasa et plein de bonne volonté ? 🙂😊 - Yolande, tu es en ligne ?
Impossible de se lancer à l'aveugle, pour ceux qui n'ont jamais eu affaire à ce genre de choses, compte Picasa ou autre, ça me semble bien difficile au vu de vos explications (même avant que ça change de présentation), personnellement je ne m'y vois pas du tout...
Au pire, si ça ennuie tout le monde, reste la solution avant les votes ou en plusieurs fois, de faire un message avec toutes les images attachées (avec les noms), de façon à avoir un aperçu global ! Ça sera toujours ça, même si c'est moins bien !

Salut Catherine,
Ce n'est plus Picasa ! Malheureusement ! C'est maintenant GooglePhotos.
Je veux bien essayer de faire ce diaporama, enfin du moins comme celui de Kate. ( Je viens de finir celui de mes photos de vacances, ça devrait se faire ) Mais je ne sais pas mettre par ordre alphabétique, les photos vont se mettre par ordre chronologique, sauf si on m'explique comment faire.
Mais si quelqu'un veut s'y coller, je suis OK pour laisser la main !

Ah, ce diaporama... on a été trop bien habitués.
C'est vrai que c'est bien pratique, personnellement bien sûr je le regarde plusieurs fois mais assez rapidement, sans la fonction diaporama.
Pour les votes je reconsulte toujours les messages du concours, avec les photos plein format, les infos de lieu.
Je proposais ta candidature pour rire... je ne veux l'imposer à personne !

Er si les webmasters de VoyageForum rajoutaient, eux la fonction diaporama (qui doit bien traîner dans un coin, pas encore activée) ?

Je ne comprends pas trop l'intérêt du classement alphabérique. À une époque, il était même question d'un affichage anonyme. On ne vote pas pour un nom, mais une photo (euh... je me demande si je ne dis pas une connerie, là 😛)...
Alors, pourquoi le classement chronologique, identique au fil du concours, ne pourrait-il pas convenir ?
Alors, pourquoi le classement chronologique, identique au fil du concours, ne pourrait-il pas convenir ?
Oui c'est vrai.
Ce n'est pas primordial.
Mais Kate en parlait, et j'ai embrayé dessus.
Ce qui me poserait plus de soucis, c'est de faire la premiére page, avec le logo VF.
Finalement, le plus important est d'avoir dans un album toutes les photos réunies, faciles à faire défiler et à comparer.
Ça, ce n'est pas trop dur.
Je ne sais pas par contre comment Hériklès a réussi à effacer le nom sur les photos. D'une part ça gène, et d'autre part je n'ai pas envie de diffuser mon nom de famille...

Plutot que de 'surveiller' le vote des autres, il s'agit de reconnaitre plus rapidement quelles photos ont suffisamment plu pour obtenir des points. Quant au numerotage par ordre d'apparition, j'avais cru comprendre que le vote anonyme n'avait pas ete particulierement populaire...
Surement, comme beaucoup d'autres, tu preferais (a defaut de pouvoir utiliser le futur) avoir et voir une photo identifiee comme Masterpo-1 plutot que No 55 😉

Google n'est certainement pas le seul à proposer l'hébergement de photos avec la possibilité de faire des albums. N'existe-t-il pas un hébergeur moins hégémonique et plus facile d'utilisation ?

Tiens donc, aurais-je touché quelque chose ?!😇 Plus simplement, 55 est le plus grand nombre de Fibonacci qui est egalement un nombre triangulaire...

Le problème de Google est sa trop grande intrusion dans la vie privée.
Il n'est pas toujours très simple de verrouiller le machin.
Ou plutôt, Google fait tout pour que cela ne soit pas simple...

J'ai pensé à ça.
Si cette charge de diaporama m'incombait, je créerais à ce moment là un nouveau compte Google à cet effet.
Comme cela, pas de soucis de confidentialité, et de mélange avec des photos perso.
Mais j'espère que Catherine s'est montré persuasive pour débaucher quelqu'un...😏

Si je me souviens bien, pour créer un compte google, il suffit de donner un mail valide.
Si tu donnes 4 mails différents et 4 identités différentes et que tu t'inscris depuis 4 adresses IP également différentes comment google sait que ces 4 comptes appartiennent à la même personne ? 🤪

4 IP différentes ? Pas facile à avoir quand même ...

Je suis d'accord avec toi, mais Google est tellement intrusif qu'il faudrait virer les cookies à chaque fois. Du coup, j'ai déclaré les comptes ensemble pour pouvoir passer facilement de l'un à l'autre.
D'un autre côté, ce sont des comptes relativement anodins, pas terroristes ^^

Si t'as le full internet chez ton employeur, ça fait 3.
Et pour le dernier, tu peux faire appel à un ami ! 😄
Après, si tu es vraiment accro au respect de ta vie privée, il me semble qu'il existe des moyens plus perfectionnés...

Google finit quand même par savoir tout de toi.
Même si c'est juste à des fins commerciales et que c'est plus le programme qu'un être humain qui analyse tout cela, ça finit par faire un peu flipper.

Je ne sais pas par contre comment Hériklès a réussi à effacer le nom sur les photos.
D'une part ça gène, et d'autre part je n'ai pas envie de diffuser mon nom de famille...
De quel nom parles-tu ? Son nom à lui ? Je l'ai dit l'autre jour, quand j'ai créé mon compte goggle le site voulait absolument que j'indique nom et prénom. Je n'en n'avais pas envie, pas plus que de mettre un faux nom. Alors j'ai essayé Catherine Catherine 🤪, ça ne marchait pas, d'où Catherine Kate.

Puisque tu es reviendu, tu nous fais un autre carnet sur le Japon ? (à défaut de participer à nouveau au concours... 😇). Tu as vu de nouvelles choses ?
On s'ennuie un peu sur VF...
En attendant je vais m'attaquer au carnet d'Attila, j'ai pas mal de pages de retard...

The theme for this July’s photo contest is:
Bridges of the World
Vasco da Gama Bridge in Lisbon
Here’s the definition of a bridge: “A structure, typically made of stone, wood, or metal, that spans a depression or obstacle (such as a transportation route or waterway) by connecting the two sides or crossing over the obstacle.”
Viaducts, aqueducts, and footbridges will all be accepted.
Millau Viaduct
To allow for as many original photos as possible, the bridge can be photographed from the side, below, or above—the main thing is that it’s the focal point of the image.
Bridge in the Algarve
Pont du Gard from below
Details are also welcome, as long as you can still recognize it’s a bridge 😊
Brooklyn Bridge
Practical details:
Participation: Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Sunday, 26/07 at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (comment, location, etc.).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Monday, 27/07 to Friday, 31/07 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Selected photos should be listed in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point
The winner is the photographer whose photo receives the most points.
Results will be announced on 01/08. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing August 2026’s contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another contest are not eligible to participate in this one.

Hello,
It might not be very original, but I see it hasn’t been suggested—or at least not for a very long time. I’d like to invite you to discover the beauty of the great outdoors through landscape photos. Whether they’re desert, sea, countryside, or mountain scenes—with or without other elements (people, buildings, animals, etc.)—they should make us want to dive right in without hesitation.
To participate: Photo submissions until Wednesday, June 24 at 11:59 PM You can post up to 3 photos, numbered and shared in separate messages, along with a short description of the place and the story behind it.
To vote: from Thursday, June 25 at 12:01 AM to Monday, June 29 at 11:59 PM After the deadline, it’s too late!
Please include the photo number, username, and the points awarded: Photo #1 = 3 pts Photo #2 = 2 pts Photo #3 = 1 pt
All VF members can vote (even those who didn’t submit photos). In case of a tie for first place, the winning photo will be the one with the most first-place votes, then second-place votes! The lucky winner will get to organize July 2026’s photo contest.

This is where we chat.
If you’ve already posted your three photos in the contest thread Staircases: May 2026 Photo Contest Theme and a fourth one comes to mind, you can ease your staircase obsession here.
A few examples of staircases:
Some of the 6,600 steps on the staircase leading to the summit of Jade Emperor Peak at 1,545 meters.
Emergency staircase at the Orléans library (France).
Brussels street artist Créons incorporates the staircase into the dress design of his character.
The staircase is part of the roof of Villa Malaparte (Adalberto Libera) on the island of Capri (Italy).

Hello
This month’s photo contest theme for May 2026 is "Staircases"
Plural or singular? Does it really matter as long as you’re told you’ve gone up or down them well?
Anyway, it’s not that complicated, even though I’m sure some will manage to overcomplicate it—after all, why keep things simple when making them complicated is so much more fun (as an Indian proverb goes).
To participate: Submit your photos until Monday, May 25 at 11:59 PM You can post up to 3 photos, numbered and shared in separate messages, along with a short description of the location and the story behind it.
To vote: From Tuesday, May 26 at 12:01 AM until Saturday, May 30 at 11:59 PM After the deadline, it’s too late.

Hey there!
This is the spot where we can chill and chat about fishing at sea worldwide 😊
Here are two charming fishermen taking a well-deserved break near Zanzibar!
This is the spot where we can chill and chat about fishing at sea worldwide 😊
Here are two charming fishermen taking a well-deserved break near Zanzibar!
The 140th (wow!) edition of the contest is now live!
Since it’s April Fools’ month and I’m a diver at heart, I had to pick a theme around the sea and fish.
This month’s theme is: sea fishing 🙂. Deep-sea fishing, rockpooling, shore casting, shellfish & crustaceans—anything remotely related to sea fishing fits the bill 😉
Photos of fishing boats, fishing ports, fish auctions, seafood stalls, nets and trawls, lobster pots, fishermen, your kids collecting cockles, even those New Year’s oyster shells 😏—no limits as long as it ties into the theme 😛 And of course, a special shout-out to anglers worldwide! 🙂
I’m traveling right now, so I don’t have many photos on hand. To illustrate the theme, I’ve chosen this shot of a small Vietnamese fishing boat I spotted near the Cham Islands, returning from a dive.
Contest rules: You can post up to three photos, each in a separate message, clearly numbering them (1, 2, or 3) and including the location where the photo was taken. Any explanations about your photos are welcome.
When voting, you’ll choose three photos, clearly stating the participant’s name followed by their photo number. The first photo in your vote gets three points, the second gets two, and the third gets one.
The winner will be the person whose photo earns the most points. In case of a tie, the winner will be the one with the most first-place votes, or if still tied, the most second-place votes. If it’s a perfect tie, the person who reached their score first wins. The winner then gets the honor of choosing and organizing May 2026’s contest theme. Ties for any other position won’t be broken. Finally, you don’t need to enter the contest to vote, but participants (and I hope there’ll be lots of you!) are *strongly* encouraged to vote!
Please only post contest photos in this thread. Starting Saturday, April 25 (00:01 Paris time), only votes should be posted.
Key dates: You can submit your photos from today until Friday, April 24, 2026 (23:59 Paris time—Xavier, you can do the math for Perth 😏). Voting starts the very next minute and ends on Thursday, April 29 (23:59 Paris time). Results will be announced on Thursday, April 30, 2026... The next host can take over on Saturday, May 2 (yeah, May 1 is a no-work day 😛)
Ready, set, shoot!

The 139th edition of this contest is now open, and this month’s theme is:
« Metal, Metallic».
From ore to rockets, wire to the Eiffel Tower—or in a pinch, even a self-portrait at the bottom of a spoon—the theme is broad enough that you should be able to come up with at least three ideas pretty easily! Sure, things might get tricky when it’s time to vote, but that could just be a sign of a successful contest, right?! But we’re not there yet.
Contest rules: You can post up to three photos, each in a separate message, clearly indicating their number (1, 2, or 3) along with the location where the photo was taken. Any explanations about your photos are welcome.
You’ll vote for three photos, clearly stating the name of the participant you’ve chosen, followed by the photo number. The first photo in your vote will receive three points, the second two points, and the third one point.
The winner will be the person whose photo earns the most points. In case of a tie, the winner will be the one with the most first-place votes—or, if still tied, the most second-place votes. Finally, if it’s a perfect tie, the winner will be the one who reached their score first. The winner will then have the pleasure of choosing the theme for the April 2026 contest and organizing it. Ties for any position other than first won’t be broken. Lastly, you don’t need to participate in the contest to vote. However, participants (and I hope there’ll be lots of you!) are strongly encouraged to vote!
Please only post contest photos in this thread, and starting Thursday, March 26 (00:01 Paris time), only votes.
Key dates: You can submit your photos starting today, Tuesday, March 3, 2026, until Wednesday, March 25, 2026 (23:59 Paris time). Voting will begin the minute after and end on Monday, March 30 (23:59 Paris time). Results will be announced on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 ... if all goes well!

Let’s stick with the water theme—it’s definitely the season (maybe a bit *too* much for some of those dealing with floods 😕).
After the flowing waters (with varying energy levels), let’s take it easy with still waters:
Lakes (Annecy)
Ponds (near Moustiers Saint Marie)
Lagoons (Bacalar)
If you’ve got nice photos of a pond—or even a puddle—why not? Natural bodies of water only: no pools or fountains (reservoir lakes are accepted… because they often look like natural lakes ).
The contest rules are the same as always 😉: Up to 3 photos per member, one photo per post (a little explanation is better), and past winning photos from other VF contests aren’t allowed. You have until Sunday, February 22nd at 11:59 PM (Paris time) to post your photos. Voting starts Monday the 23rd at midnight—rank your top 3 photos in order (3, 2, and 1 points). Voting ends Saturday, February 28th at 11:59 PM. Results will be announced on March 1st. The winning photo is the one with the most points (in case of a tie, the photo ranked first the most times wins). The lucky winner gets to organize March’s contest 😎.

For those who want to chat quietly by the riverbanks, this is the place!
The first theme of 2026 is:
"Waterways Around the World".
Water is present almost everywhere on our blue planet, so I’ve narrowed the theme down to waterways—rivers, streams, brooks, and the like.
Seas, oceans, lakes, or other stagnant waters won’t be considered for this month’s theme 😅. However, waterfalls and cascades are very welcome 😊!
Practical details:
**Participation** Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Sunday, January 25th at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (commentary, location, etc.).
**Voting** Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Monday, January 26th to Saturday, January 31st at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Photos should be ranked in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point
The winner is the photographer whose photo receives the most points.
Results will be published on February 1st. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing February 2026’s contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another contest are not eligible to participate in this one.
This thread is exclusively for contest photo submissions. All discussions, comments, and chit-chat should take place in the thread: here

To chat about waterways, this is the place.
I suggest we compete with photos of towers. No magic tricks or potter’s wheels—we’re talking about "tour" as in the feminine noun. So, a kind of tall building, round, square, or polygonal, or a high structure that could be metallic, or a flat-topped bell tower (campanile), or a high-rise building (building)...
You can find them almost everywhere in the world and from all eras.
The tower(s) must be the main subject of the photo.
Examples:
The first photo, which is Saint Mark’s Square (with the Campanile), won’t be accepted.
The second one, where the Campanile tower is the main subject, will be accepted.
Have fun and surprise us! Photos of computer towers are excluded 😏
Have fun and surprise us! Photos of computer towers are excluded 😏
This is the place to chat about December’s theme!
I’ll start with a little TOUR of the world’s TOURS.
Of course, you can submit multiple photos of the same tower in the contest—it’s the quality of the photo that’ll be judged during voting, not just the subject!

Good evening everyone,
So, it’s settled—the first idea (this book about the lush garden of a New York state parsonage, "this garden obsessed with the love this man had for his late wife." Reverend Cheney musically noting all the birdsongs, the water droplets in the watering can, the wind rushing through cloaks at the end of the 19th century) will be the theme.
Garden: A plot of land, usually enclosed, attached or not to a dwelling, planted with useful or ornamental vegetation.
So, private gardens, vegetable patches, herb gardens, botanical gardens, winter gardens with their lush greenhouses, the "hortus conclusus" of cloisters evoking the Garden of Eden, public gardens, and their extension into parks are all welcome. I’m sure I’ve forgotten some...
Photos can be posted until Monday, November 24 at midnight, following the usual rules: one per message, numbered from 1 to 3, with the location of the shot and, if you’d like, a few details.
Voting, where you explicitly assign 3 to 1 points to your top 3 photos, will take place from Tuesday, November 25 at 12:01 AM until Sunday, November 30 at midnight. The results will be announced on December 1.
Your turn! 😉
Catherine
PS: This thread is reserved for contest photos. For all other photos and conversations under the trees by the fountains, it’s here.
Good evening everyone,
This is where we chat and post non-competition photos. Happy wandering (jogging is also welcome).
See you soon.

Hi everyone!
This theme has probably been done before... but not recently, at least 😉 Doors—open, closed, of houses, castles... even if only the threshold remains. Since I’m not home, I don’t have access to my photos right now, and regarding the rules, I’ll let you refer to one of the previous contests.
Photos can be posted until Thursday the 23rd at 11:59 PM (Paris time). Voting will take place from the 24th to the 30th of October, and the results will be announced on the 31st during the day.
See you soon! 🙂

Hi everyone,
Here’s the theme for August... the world’s felines.
Yep, wildlife photography! 😺
Forest cat
So, this theme isn’t exactly a "travel invitation," but coming up with a new one is quite a puzzle 😅. During February’s “white” theme discussion, we had pages of cats, so you should be inspired 😸. I won’t be restrictive—wild felines, domestic cats, and even those in zoos (though I’m not a fan) will be accepted. Plus, engravings, paintings, statues, or any other representations of felines fit the theme. The Sphinx is also welcome ;).
Practical details:
Participation: Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Monday, August 25th at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (comment, location, etc.).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Tuesday, August 26th to Saturday, August 30th at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Selected photos will be ranked in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point
The winner is the photographer with the most points.
Results will be published on August 31st. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing September 2025’s contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another contest are not eligible for this one.

Here’s a beautiful specimen already:
Hi everyone,
This month’s contest theme is WOOD. Wood as a plant material—roots, trunks, branches that make up a tree. Dead or alive, splinters and knots. Sawdust too. Firewood, from the woodshed to the hearth. Wood as a crafting material and all the things it can become: from a spoon to a violin, a boat to a stave church, and so much more—way too long to list! 😉

This month’s contest theme is WOOD. Wood as a plant material—roots, trunks, branches that make up a tree. Dead or alive, splinters and knots. Sawdust too. Firewood, from the woodshed to the hearth. Wood as a crafting material and all the things it can become: from a spoon to a violin, a boat to a stave church, and so much more—way too long to list! 😉

All the side discussions about the contest happen here.
The theme for June is: A SERIES
"A series is a set of coherent images that share several common points while still being different from one another."
In 3 photos, posted simultaneously in the same message, I’d like you to tell me a little story with a few words. You’re allowed 2 series.
They can be narrative or thematic. For example: 3 shots representing 3 professions, 3 places of worship, 3 market stalls, 3 trains... the ideas are endless—whether in the same place or in different countries... or 3 images of the same place, photographed from 3 different angles, under 3 different lights... or 3 images where the predominant color is the same... Narrative and theme can, of course, overlap.
Practical details:
Participation Each VF member can submit up to 2 series, until Saturday, June 21 at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each series of 3 photos must be presented in a single message, with its number indicated (series 1, series 2).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 series they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Saturday, June 21 at midnight until Saturday, June 28 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
The selected series will be ranked in order of preference: - 1st series: 3 points - 2nd: 2 points - 3rd: 1 point
The winner is the author of the series with the most points.
Results will be published on June 29 during the day. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing July 2025’s contest.
Photos that have won (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another VF contest are not eligible for this one.
This thread is exclusively for series submitted to the contest. All discussions, comments, and other chatter should take place in this thread.
...................................................................
Narrative: In Bali, I took a cooking class. We went to the market to shop with the teacher. We cleaned and prepped the ingredients to make, among other things, a lovely salad.
...........................................................................
Narrative and thematic: I really loved this place 30 km from Essaouira. A little souk "just as it is," as they say. The souk of Ida Ougourd.
...........................................................................
Thematic: Green in nature. The green of tea plantations in Munnar, a bamboo forest in Les Landes, and a park in Tokyo.

The contest is here
Here’s the theme for the lovely month of May—no worries, it won’t be lilies of the valley! 😄
This month’s theme is: “Reflection(s)” This leaves a pretty wide scope: reflections in water, of course, but also in windows, on buildings... I’ll leave it to your imagination, but the reflection should be clearly visible.
If this theme has been used before, it doesn’t matter. It’s getting tricky to find new themes that can attract as many participants as possible.
I’m currently in northern Finland and don’t have access to my hard drives, so I’ll add a few photos when I return to France. Here’s just one I took with my smartphone yesterday late afternoon:
Practical details:
Participation: Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Monday, May 26 at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (comment, location, etc.).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Tuesday, May 27 to Saturday, May 31 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
The selected photos will be ranked in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd: 2 points - 3rd: 1 point
The winner is the author of the photo with the most points.
Results will be published on June 1. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing the June 2025 contest.
Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) in another contest are not eligible for this one.

This is the place for chit-chat on this month’s theme—reflections! I’m sure you’ve got some amazing ones to share. 😄
