August 28th is Dream Day, the anniversary of when Martin Luther King delivered his 'I have a Dream' speech of 1963.
But this is not a political contest. This is about dreamy landscapes - dreamscapes!
Think soft colors, faded backgrounds, mistiness and graceful moods. Fiery sunsets may be beautiful, but that is not what we are looking for here... We want softness and subtle colors.
In this contest we are looking for landscapes that have a wonderful ethereal moody feel to them. It's a quality that is hard to explain but that you recognize the moment you see it. Think about how the world seems when you see the light shine like arodrix shows us in 'First Light'. (And thanks to arodrix for the prompt to run another landscape contest...)
No manmade structures or people will be allowed in these images. No harsh or bright colors... keep it subtle!
As always, composition is very important in this contest so take that into consideration when taking your picture. But probably more important will be the light. Get out early, or in the late afternoon, and take special note of misty, gentle weather that will reveal subtle shades which are exactly what are called for!
