After last weeks more technical challenge, this week we're going back to a more simple topic for the weekly photo contest; trees. But even the simplest of topics can produce some incredible shots. The one up top, for example, isn't a particularly fancy setting, but it's one of the first outdoor shots I've been able to take using Rich Capture on the Lumia 830.
So, that's this weeks task. And a little heads up that we'll still be closing it down in the usual time frame, but we'll be skipping a new contest next week on account of being at various shows around the world. But before all of that, who won last weeks, Tilt Shift, inspired contest?
Winner: dirkprinsloo
Picking a winner is one of the worst parts of the contests, because there are so many great entries. This week we've gone for this effort from dirkprinsloo, shot in Johannesburg. Using a Lumia 1520 and Camera 360 Sight, the shot not only creates that "miniature city" look but it also captures the rain coming down in the distance. Right place at the right time and a great image.
Congratulations!

Rules are going to be just like last week:

How to use Tapatalk to post images in the Windows Central forums
We've got a great walkthrough on how to do just that!

Here's how it looks this week.

This doesn't count as your entry; it's just a fun way to track the photos on social media. Your entry still needs to be in the forums!
