I was thinking of a subject for the new round of my photo contest when @stresskiller had a great suggestion. As he is from the Netherlands like me, he knows we're having a few tropic days ahead.

I like the idea! I did have the subject COLD, but not yet COOL! And this can be interpreted quite different. For instance you could put on some fancy sunglasses and make a selfie of you being cool

I have changed the rules of the contest a bit, which also allows entering the contest via the comments under the announcement post. Although it is nice to dedicate a post to your entry if you can (you might get some upvotes for that), you don't need to anymore.

And as always I will share you my interpretation of cool!
My cool kid that went down the black labeled ski slopes during our last skiing trip 💪

Rules in short!

• Create a blog post featuring a photo that fits this week’s theme or post your photo in a reply to this post if you're not able to create a good quality post from just your entry.
• Be sure to add the following tag to your post: #FPC
• Leave a comment on at least one other entry!
• While archived photos are allowed, I recommend sharing a recent shot.
• Add details about your photo: What do we see? Where was it taken? What inspired you to capture it? Which techniques or equipment did you use?
• You may include additional photos in your post, but only the first image will be considered for the contest.
• Optional: Add a link to your post and the photo itself in a comment on this announcement post.
  
  

About the Friendlymoose Photocontest

The Friendlymoose Photocontest (#FPC) is a weekly photography competition featuring a new theme each week. It runs from Sunday to the following Sunday, closing at 8:00 PM CEST.

This contest is open to everyone—whether you're an experienced photographer with professional gear or a beginner capturing shots on your phone. All are welcome to join!

Each week, you can participate by creating a blog post featuring at least one photo that aligns with the current theme. Make sure to place your themed photo as the first image in the post. While you can submit an archived photo, it’s more engaging to head out and capture something new!

Your photo should tell a story on its own, but add context in your post. Share background details about the subject, location, techniques you used, and your inspiration for selecting this photo. Don’t forget to tag your post with #FPC so I can find your entry!

You’re also welcome to leave a comment on this post with your photo and a link to your blog entry.

The contest ends next Sunday at 8:00 PM CEST, after which I’ll review the entries and select three winners. Judging will be based on both photo quality and originality, as well as the accompanying background information in your post.

Winners will receive Hive tokens and Ecency points.

The Hive is donated by my and the Ecency points are generously donated by @good-karma They can be used in the @ecency front end to promote your posts or receive delegations.


If you have any questions about the contest or any questions about photography in general, you can find me in the Hive Photographers Discord Server.

What is Ecency?
