Doc Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 So; the subject for September is "Concept". I don't know about the rest of you but until recently this was a word that did not figure in my keywords. Yet it is one of Alamy's top 20 keyword searches for the entire past year, and when added to a second keyword, the numbers increase again. I suspect that searches for a "concept" are becoming more frequent, and may well offer sales in the more lucrative "commercial" rather than "editorial " market especially when accompanied by the appropriate releases. The competition this month is broad - any image can be used to illustrate any concept so long as that concept is made clear. Usual rules apply otherwise; maximum of 3 images per competitor, but Please note the closing time/date is midnight UK time at the close of Sunday 27th September, as I will be away at the end of September and need time to organise the poll! Here are three examples of mine to illustrate what I mean! Concept: Childhood Concept: Friendship Concept: Symmetry Looking forward to seeing your entries!

NYCat Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Thank you for this topic, Kumar. Sometimes I look and look at a photo that I think displays a concept but I can't think of the words. If anyone has other words for these I'd be happy to hear them. Concept: Unexpected... BCMN3W Reticulated Giraffe walking past a brick wall. Concept: Adversity.... EKDHFH Grizzly Bear Cub hanging from a branch. Concept: Seizing an opportunity..... ERM66C Cocoi Heron descending to catch a fish. Lots of fun looking at the other entries.
