This month’s challenge is “Cinematic.” Create an image that feels like a frame pulled straight from a film. Consider mood, lighting, color palette, composition, and narrative tension to craft an atmosphere rich with emotion and visual drama. Your photograph should hint at a story beyond the edges of the frame.

Our guest judge for this challenge is (Judge’s Name), recognized for their strong sense of visual narrative and ability to evoke emotion through stylized, atmospheric imagery. Their keen storytelling instincts will provide valuable perspective on this theme.

We look forward to seeing the scenes you bring to life.
