7 World's Continents Photo Challenge - week #16 - vote for your favorite picture of the week

in #travel7 years ago

Hello fellow Steemians,

I will be closing the 16th weekly contest of my 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge by announcing the winner of the weekly round on Monday. The winner is voted by you based on the upvotes from the individual continents winner announcements. The winner of the weekly round receives 20 SBD from me and then enters into a monthly and possibly yearly challenge to compete for 200 SBD in total.

So far I have given out 380 SBD to the weekly and monthly winners and some $2,700 worth of upvotes to winning participants. Now you have a chance to determine who will be the winner of the 16th weekly round by upvoting the below winner announcements over the next few days. The competition is heating up and I am getting excited to see which image will be the winning one. The choice is yours! :)

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #16 - winner announcement!

@narchuk Asian Sunday entry:

It happened in Thailand, in the Andaman Sea. At the very end of the dive I saw a sea turtle. She swam from coral to coral and did not notice my presence. Turtles are very calm, if you do not touch them. I swam next to her doing a frame-by-frame. At some point a flock of small fish swept past us. It lasted just a couple of seconds. I managed to make only one photo.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:

Stormy night over Darwin, this is a view from Nightcliff rocky beach if a thunder storm striking Darwin in the Northern territory of Australia. There nothing quite like it, I found it amazing to watch a bit like a firework.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans week #16 – winner announcement!

@dmytrokorol Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:

When I first met the Ocean
We had been driving out of Lisbon to the south when the road led us to the coast. And I saw the ocean. And the setting sun. The colors were so beautiful! We stopped at the first place we had found I grabbed my gear and ran to the beach. Lucky me! It was Praia da Sines with these beautiful wooden stairs and the stones on the sandy beach. The first meeting was gorgeous. I knew there is more to come.

@edward.maesen European Thursday entry:

A windmill in the province of Limburg, in the southern part of The Netherlands where I grew up. In many villages you'll find one or two windmills though few are still in use. Luckily some are maintained/restored and open to the public to view.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – North American Friday #16 – winner announcement!

@crazy-andy North American Friday entry:

This photo is from September 2014, when we were on 21 days long trip around USA. I am sure that most of you can recognize what is on the picture, mighty Grand Canyon. It was rainy day, so I thought that such photos won’t be possible but late afternoon the sun looked out and glorious sunset began.

@rigaronib South American Saturday entry:

Puerto Varas, Chile. In 2015 My family and I were living in Region X of Chile. This particular house had a perfect view of of two beautiful volcanoes; Volcán Osorno on the left and Volcán Calbuco on the right. On the afternoon of April 22, Volcán Calbuco erupted without any prior indication of being active, and my tiny family and I were able to witness first hand - A once in a life time opportunity.

Thats soo cool man !!

Yeah it sure beats trying to make stock photography for some other sites!!!

Right !!

it's been ten days since i've been fully here on steemit. I had to finish some duty before getting back here. One of the things i've missed most, is the incredible pictures you share everyday. It's good to see your post again man :) -- as for this post, it's so hard to vote for one picture as all of them are insanely incredible . after a long contemplation, i've decided i'll vote @edward.maesen :D

Thanks for your vote @tamurah!

my pleasure man, I have really enjoyed your photos :) followed you to come across them regularly :D

Thanks 😊

Thank you so much for your positiv feedback. That is certainly appreciated. Have a good one. Tomas

Do we vote here in the comments? I pick @narchuk's image - that's a stunner!

Hi, you vote on the winner announcement post of you prefered photographer by using the linke at the image. Thank you for your support. Have a great day. Tomas

Aha! Thanks for clarifying for the newbie, Tomas. :)

Welcome onboard! Any questions or concerns you might have just ask in the comment section directly to other Steemians. The majority is very friendly and helpful.

I've noticed there's a good vibe all over here and people are very welcoming. Thank you again! I look forward to participating in your contests - and while I don't know Steemit well enough to appreciate the work involved in putting these on, thank you for providing photographers with a platform to share their work and have it seen. :)

Wow these pictures are amazing.

Goodness! The windmill one is stunning, the colors are a little to blue in my oppinion though, but its still my favorite

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. You have a good eye about the blue color, which is intentional. All my photos are slightly color processed to transform them from mere snapshots into something hopefully more artistic.

very beautiful photos

Definitely the volcano pic is the best of em all!

All the images are very amazing and beautiful but The, Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans entry @dmytrokorol is the most beautiful and most attractive image i think.
Thanks for sharing the great information about the 7 World's Continents photo challenges and conditions.

Thank you for support!
