Use one or more objects and photograph them in a way that makes at least 1 object (the main object in your photo) seem to be something else then it really is. You need to show, in the SBS, what objects you've used in a recognizable manner. Example.
jawshoewhah: Ok, I think clarification is needed. I thought the purpose of this contest is photograph something and make it appear to look like something else, like an illusion, like one of those pictures you've seen that resembles more than one subject. Most these entries don't seem to fit that theme. So could a mod clarify? ( 5 years and 3178 days ago )
Contest Moderator: The purpose of the contest is to take an object and by use of lighting or placement or other creative means make it appear to be something other than what it is actually....I don't know how to explain it better....see the example also.
Also...remember....an SBS IS REQUIRED for this contest! ( 5 years and 3178 days ago )
jawshoewhah: That's what I understood it too but based on what entries where removed and which ones are left, it's still a little confusing. I think I was right with my first assumption. ( 5 years and 3178 days ago )
karaflazz: Wow...now i saw it.The example is one of my entry's!!!!
Thank you robvdn.

jawshoewhah: that's what I kind of had in mind. ( 5 years and 3177 days ago )
submarines: Sorry for the truth, but did the orange bike and pences seem to be something other ?
I think it would be great if you could try to explain the theme of the contest clearly. Thank you. ( 5 years and 3176 days ago )
Howdie stranger! If you want to participate in this contest, just:
so many comments about seeing this stuff before, but it is not that easy to make the positive space into negative space, the lighting and tone has to be spot on to look convincing, and this one does. Nice job.
I'll never look at oranges the same way again. Great work, author, and nice job resisting the urge to center the subject in the frame (sometimes having it off to one side or the other really helps to "make" a photo...as in this example). All the best!
I don't understand, my photo was removed because of banal comment Although the sugar cubes are arranged in a pyramid, they still appear as sugar cubes quite clearly...
So, Although the orange are arranged in a bike and sun, it still appears as orange quite clearly...
Could you help me to understand what these people want from us?? I think it is very sad.haha
author says:
dear Marija,
it's a pity that ur work was removed, if the same happened to me i would also be disappointed, from ur comment i did not get which photo was urs, but let me try to tell u how i understand the contest guides:
the task is to make an object (in our cases sugar cubes or oranges) appear as smth else, SEEM to be smth else. it does not say, that it should be not possible to guess what objects were used. and that's understandable, cause u see everything very quick and recognize an orange, a sponge or a sugar cube, but for example my mother-in-law would not see that at once so, the task is fulfilled ...
the photo with the sugar cubes was removed, some other were also removed, i think cause of a number of reasons: or it did not meet the rules, tasks which i have just explained above, or it did not have the sbs (step by step) guide. maybe ur photo had the same fate.
maybe u can write a message to the moderator of the contest or create a sbs for ur photo and upload the photo again ...
hoop that everything will be solved without fights and with positive results )) good luck with this and other contests
perfectly on theme! great job!
yeah yeah yeah, that's out of the box(frame) thinking nice, very nice
