'Photography and Surrealism'
Surreal images tend to be dreamlike and tap into people's unconscious,” says Tryforos. “They're often made of different elements that are put together in unexpected ways.” Surreal images almost always contain recognizable elements from real life — human figures, clocks, apples — arranged in strange ways.
We received some amazing surreal art among the may submissions.  Watch for yourself ;-)

The winners with the most votes are: 
1st place :  Hadi Malijani
2nd place : Irene Wu
3rd place : Susi

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions.
Thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Photography and Surrealism' 

The currently running theme is 'High-key Photography'
High-key photography is a style that emphasizes bright, evenly lit scenes with minimal shadows. It creates a cheerful, airy, and often uplifting atmosphere. This is achieved by using strong, bright light and often minimizing dark tones in the image.

This contest will end on Sunday the 30st of November at midnight.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.
