The Old Dog Announces: A New Contest. "Micro Magic And The Key to Victory!"

in #contest6 years ago (edited)

I just got back from jogging through some fields and forests. With that and a couple of cool photos from @old-guy-photos to inspire me I've got a really fun contest for you. Anyone can enter and it's Redfish friendly!

Announcing Micro Magic And The Key to Victory!


While running through the field and going round and around I saw a lot of tiny flowers that I don't think get enough attention. I decided to take some close up shots and then to show you how small they are I put a key in the shot to give them scale!

Here Are My Examples And Then Come The Contest Rules


Such a beautiful flower but when the key is added to the shot you can see just how tiny it is!



This joyful yellow delight was all by itself. Micro Magic indeed!


This is the smallest of my three examples but it is no less gorgeous!


Here Are The Rules!

  • There will be at least 5 prizes of 1 Steem each.
  • The contest closes after 7 days when the post pays out.
  • 1 entry per member.
  • There must be two photos. One showing the beauty of the flower and one with a key to give it scale!
  • Your entries must be included in the comments for this post. Please feel feel to make your own post as well and I will try and upvote it!


Here's One Last Inspiration From @old-guy-photos!


I took my photos with my phone but just to show you that the possibilities are endless take a look at these photos from @old-guy-photos that he entered in my previous contest: The Old Dog Presents: Reaping What You Did Not Sow Round Five Winners!

Thanks a lot for your entry!

How do I know that's not a giant key? This is crypto. Hard to trust anybody LoL

you won't!
it's photoshop magic ^ ^

Actually that has crossed my mind about the entries that may come in! I am a trusting soul though!

World's largest key:

Kinda throws the scale thingy out the window! :(

Didn't a doctor ever say to you "This is only going to sting a little bit" before jabbing you with some humongous needle?

Wow, so huge... where is this?

So it's in Doha, and it's dedicated to refugees around the world... not much to do with crypto, hehe.

No. It's to do with that key could make an awfully huge flower look tiny beside it. Perspective.

I know, haha... just making your wise comment go even further. ;)

I think the key is blocking the flower... I can't see it from this angle.

Get your head on straight :-)

lol as i was reading it i was thinking what's the biggest key i have:)

Thanks for the spotlight Old Dog! Always a pleasure and an honor to be mentioned. I do love macro work. Showing the key for scale was a great idea and really brought the size home to my mind!

Thanks for your great support!

I am not going to enter this contest for lack of any flowers. However, I still wanted to promote it. :)

Here is my post showing some other views of this flower, and some other tiny things I found.

This is a fun contest. I find all kinds of small things growing. Right now, I have my eyes peered for little garden seedlings I planted. The carrots and tobacco are some of the smallest ones to look out for. They stay super small for a few weeks.

Thanks for entering. Well done!

This is my participation in the contest, I like that we are making new pictures and we don't use the archive.

These were a little difficult to capture because they're on a shrub, and as soon as I tried to take pictures, a breeze kicked up and kept moving the branches. They're the smallest flowers I can find right now, though!

Very well done. Thanks!

Key and finger.
Harder to cheat, hehe.

Very good thanks!
