Assalamualaikum and Hi! :D
Photography competition is back! Are you ready?
Theme: Silhouette
Silhouette photography is an art to convey drama, mystery, emotion and mood to the viewers of your photos. It often stand out in an album because of its simplicity and the story that it conveys, giving freedom to the viewers to imagine the story behind it. Although it is often associated with portraits, but there are other forms as well.

Here's a more interesting part: 40% of judging marks will be determined by viewers.

Viewers (can be anyone, not necessarily PPMC members) are given 1 week (until midnight of 13th Jan) to like the uploaded photos before the number of votes are finalized. The rest of 60% professional judging marks are made based on the closeness of the photo to the theme, and your creativity.
