The currently running theme is 'Low key Photography'
Low-key photography is a style that emphasizes dark tones and shadows to create a dramatic, mysterious, and high-contrast image. It involves using minimal light to illuminate specific areas, leaving the rest in deep shadow. This technique is often used to evoke mood, highlight textures, and draw attention to the subject's details.

This contest will end on Sunday the 14th of December of November at midnight.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.
