Fixed-Lens Photo Challenge #345: Subject: Face

Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more

Face: noun

  1. the front part of a person's head from the forehead to the chin, or the corresponding part in an animal.

  2. the surface of a thing, especially one that is presented to the view or has a particular function.

There are many ways to interpret Face! A human, a rock face, a museum piece, a sign, and many more. Show us your interpretation of Face! And as always great composure and great exposure will carry the day.


Remember, if you post a photo, you may be the winner. Be prepared to host and judge a new challenge.

To submit, put your photo title in the first line of the post, followed by your photo, and click "Post comment." Your camera brand and model must appear in the post. Include additional EXIF data, if you like.

Enter just one photo.

Post until Monday noon GMT, 4th of August.

Rules:
Camera: Any fixed-lens camera, all brands and models. Cell phones are also included. No DSLRs!
The image may be digital or scanned film as long as the original shot was taken with a fixed lens.
Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible except photos that have won other POTN competitions.
Size: Photo must be no less than 800 pixels and no more than 1600 pixels on the longest side, with no borders.
Postprocessing: Do whatever you like and the host will decide if it fits the theme.
Photo display: Photos must appear in this thread to be eligible.
Title your photo.
No commenting and no likes until the challenge has ended.
People may also post photos after the winners are announced.

Voting: Once the challenge is closed on Monday noon anyone may cast their votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. People who didn't enter a photograph are also allowed to vote. 1st Place = 3 points, 2nd Place = 2 points, and 3rd Place = 1 point.
Note: The host of the challenge may also enter a photo and is encouraged to do so. Should the host win, the runner up will host the next challenge, so as to avoid the same person hosting in two consecutive weeks.

Hosting:
1. The challenge host is the winner of the last challenge.
2. Once your win is announced, copy the sticky and start a thread in the Competitions forum with this title: Fixed-Lens Challenge #XXX: Subject
4. Soon after noon GMT on the next Tuesday, post the sum of the votes for first, second, and third place. No ties, please.
5. If the winner can't be contacted and doesn't respond by Wednesday noon GMT, the second-place winner will host the challenge. If both are unavailable, the third-place winner will host.

Schedule: One challenge every week, on the following schedule:
1. New Topic: As soon as possible after winning.
2. Posting Starts: Right after topic is announced.
3. Posting Stops: Monday noon GMT.
4. Winners Announcement: As soon as possible, after Tuesday noon GMT.

3rd Place with 3 votes is ggRosalie 🥉

Well done Rob and you guys be careful on the crowded but coveted 2nd Place platform!

Over to you Rob this week’s challenge belongs to you!
 
Folks – I really appreciate the votes this week but I have to pass the prize over to Ed, Gary or Don.

Looking at my photo again, I started wondering about the camera I used. My photo this week was a crop of one of mine I had saved from an old POTN thread when it was closing. The EXIF info was lost, but I just now went back through my old original files (thanks to LuminarNeo’s image search function) and found it. It was, as I feared, taken with a DSLR. So I am disqualified.

Apologies to all and to Jim for some extra work now :bowdown:

No worries Rob I’ve made that mistake a few times too when digging deep into my archives!

So, the challenge is passed to Don (OldCrow) as he was the only 2nd Place winner with a 1st Place vote!

On to you Don…this week’s challenge belongs to you! 🥇
