New photo contest launched on Steem and my first entry

Hi there my Steemian friends and followers!

Do you remember all those cool photo contests once hosted by Hive account@juliank? If you were around already, I am sure you do and if you were a regular participant like me, I bet you still miss them, right? Then I have some good news for you! It looks like Hive account@gabeboy just came up with something very similar. His new initiative Hive account@photochallenge comes with a photo contest for each day of the week:

• Monday - Monochrome
• Tuesday - Scapes
• Wednesday - Animals/Plants
• Thursday - Structures
• Friday - Food/Fun/Action
• Saturday - Mobility
• Sunday - Humans

Sounds interesting right? The weekly pool prize is 17.5 Steem (0.5 Steem for 5 daily winner) and the cool thing is that you have as many as 6 days to submit your entry in the contest. So for example, you can submit your monochrome photo any time from Monday to Saturday. Just make sure to always use two tags - the general tag #photochallenge and the specific tag for the particular day (for example #mondayphotochallenge). You can learn more about the rules of the photo contests here.

Today is Friday which comes with the Food/Fun/Action photo challenge but for my very first entry, I decided to go for my favorite theme and that is the animal photography (that is also why I used the #wednesdayphotochallenge tag).

Not my best animal shot for sure but definitely the latest - I took this close-up of what I think is the brown anole just two days ago. This little fella was chilling out under the chair on our patio :)

I am really excited about the newly launched photo contests by Hive account@photochallenge, I will definitely be a regular contributor to some of those categories :) Thank you so much for hosting them Hive account@gabeboy!
