Hey Hedgehogs, it’s time for another Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s theme is entitled Minimalism.
- Be sure the title or description of your entry explains your interpretation of the theme.

The challenges are simple. You start with a theme, but the twist is that everyone needs to submit a title or description *(see end) with their photo that explains the ‘who, what, where, why, when or how’ they went through to get it. This helps us ‘feel’ the moment as you did, but can also help with voting. You might even find some great tips to make you better.

This is about challenging yourself, pushing beyond your limits, so have fun and try anything and everything whether you are good at it or not. You can't win if you don't try. Good luck and have fun!

I'm new to the contest section and am wondering how and when contest results are posted? Are there 1st/2nd/3rd winners. With the relatively large number of photos, I suspect that small numbers can determine a winner. Thanks for your response. - Peter

Too many folks are submitting pictures that do not even remotely resemble the subject matter. This take a lot away from the contest. I like to see a lot of people submit pictures, but at least stick to the subject matter.

Excellent point.

Steps will be made to mitigate this in future challenges.
