“In nature nothing exists alone.” – Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
Spring is a time of new nature. Blossoms, buds, and baby animals abound. Flourishing flowers, singing birds, and spring peepers are all signs of the season. Focus on collaborations of color like this Caribbean flamingo among the fuchsia petals.
Our editorial team will choose the best submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A group of chosen shots for this assignment will be posted on this page and one will be featured.
We can consider a maximum of four submissions per contributor.
NOTE: For this assignment, we’re offering an incentive. The author of the featured photo chosen by our editorial team will receive a Women’s Patagonia Refugio Pack, perfect for transporting your gear to the office, the crag, or the beach. See the official Contest Rules.
