I've been fortunate enough this christmas to receive a Nikon D3000, with two lenses and a reversing ring, so you can expect a few submission from me coming soon! My casual shots can be found on my flickr page at flickr.com/photos/passwordprot…

Sorry for the absence, it's way too easy to get caught up in life.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!: I will be away for 1-3 weeks, so your entries may take a while to be placed with the other entries! Thank you for your patience on this matter and for your patience on the extension date.

This is my first contest, bear with me and please don't hesitate to point out any errors.


Entries can be found here: passwordprotected.deviantart.c…

Concept:
The whole idea behind this contest, is accidental beauty. Beauty can be accidental in many ways, for example, perhaps you were experimenting with something that is socially viewed as "ugly" and you found a way to showcase that thing and make it beautiful. That would be accidental beauty. Another example, would be if you just stumbled upon something beautiful, like a hidden clearing in a forest. My last example, would be if you were out taking pictures and you didn't feel you got anything great, but when you look through the pictures on your computer, one of them turned out amazing.

Examples:
Phratora vitellinae by CatherineNodet :thumb160036037: :thumb158874641: tied to life by QUEEN-OF-LONELESS


Rules:

:bulletblue:1 entry per person, new or old.
:bulletgreen:Only photography.
:bulletblue:Please, only your BEST work. If I feel no effort has been put in, your piece might not get accepted.
:bulletgreen:I'm not going to be strict on the theme, but at least make it a little relevant.
:bulletblue:Entries will be accepted from June 10th until September 31st. Extensions depend on number of entries.

How to enter:
1. Go to the deviation you want to enter, and scroll down a little, until you see "thumb". Copy everything in the white box.

2. Make a new note to me. Paste the thumb in the note and write me a few lines on why your deviation is accidentally beautiful.

3. Check for updates and keep an eye on the competition!
