UPDATES

Hey guys! We reached the deadline, and the contest is now CLOSED.
You can check the submissions here (please let me know if I missed adding any), and I will announce the winners at some point next week.

Thanks everyone for participating, I'm really glad you enjoyed the idea of the contest, and I hope I can come up with fun contests in the future as well

In other news, I've been incredibly inactive photography-wise, but there's a reason. I bought an apartment for myself about 10 days ago, and now there's a million things to take care of... each day. Because I'm renovating the whole place, and well... you can imagine how it is. It's tiring, but I love it.




______________________________________

I tried to think of a different contest idea, and this one came up, I hope you guys enjoy it. Make sure you spread the word about the contest!

Why is it called "reverse contest"? Because normally you first have the deviation, then the comments. In this case, the comment comes first, and you will come up with the deviation


THE OBJECT OF THE CONTEST

Suppose I am viewing a photograph on deviantART, and I am adding the following comment on that deviation:

"I really enjoy this photo, it's very mysterious, but also, in a way, very inviting. The vivid orange details complement the mute purple background really well, and I'd like to guess what I see in the foreground, but I can't really tell. It's the key element that makes the image so mysterious. Another thing I really like about this photo, is the curves that I can see here and there, they give the image a flowing aspect that draws you in the more you look at it".

I made this comment up. You guys will have to CREATE the photo I pretended to comment on. I hope the idea is pretty clear, if you think you misunderstood, or if you have additional questions, you can always ask me, I'll be happy to clear things up for you.

I hope it's not too hard to make. I don't want to make this a really strict contest, so you can make an ommission or two from the details mentioned in the comment, just as long as you keep the general idea of the image. Be as creative as you want, and don't limit yourself to just what it's written in the comment.


SUBMISSION RULES

I recommend the entries to be new creations, but if it happens that you already have an image that fits the requirements, you can submit it.
Your entries must be either photographs or photo-manipulations.
PLEASE submit your entries by sending me a note with the subject Contest.
If you change your mind about your submission and think you made a better one, you can change your entry, just as long as you're doing it before the deadline.
