Let Week 15 begin!
So, 
EXAMPLES
Before I get into who won the contest last week, I’ll quickly share with you again what I am looking for by featuring some photos of mine. In the cover photo, I combined a box turtle with some dried oak leaves, with the turtle being the animal and the leaves being the plant. Both a plant and an animal were in the photo, hence the combination.
Please understand, by combination photography I mean that you should combine two elements; plants and animals. At least one plant and at least one animal should be featured in your photo to have it qualify. If your photo does not qualify, or if you do not provide the proof, you will not qualify. Here are two examples.
Besides simply providing the images, I also require that those entering this contest provide a proof photo as well. Two main versions of proof photos exist. One kind features the same combination of plants & animals with a written paper in the photo with your username, the date, contest name, etc. to prove that you took the photo for the contest.
The other type of proof is just a selfie with the animal and plant. Here are my examples for the photos featured above.
Based on the proof photos there should be no doubt in your mind that I actually took the photos I shared above.
WEEK 14 WINNERS!
Choosing the winners is always tough for me, but I have finally made my decisions. The Winner gets 50% of the liquid post payout from the Week Fourteen Post and the two runner ups each get 12.5% of the same, which is pretty good considering the high SBD value right now.
THE WINNER
10.338 SBD
FIRST RUNNER UP
5.169 SBD
SECOND RUNNER UP
5.169 SBD
There were so many excellent entries once again. I love that this contest allows me to catch a glimpse of your local flora and fauna. Also, though the official way to enter this contest is by including your entry photo and the proof photo in a reply to my post, I strongly encourage others to make an actual post featuring their entry as well.
Even if you do not win the contest, you could still get something for your effort if you turn it into a post as well. @Matthewtiii once hit the jackpot on a post about his contest entry. His post paid out at over $200 total while he has trying to win 5 STEEM, LOL! Link here.
