/r/PictureChallenge
Every month, we, as a community, will come up with a topic or category of pictures. Throughout the time frame of each topic, we can post our pictures here for all to see. We strive to help people develop their photography skills and to motivate photographers to get out and make some art.
Hey there aspiring photographer!
Welcome to Picture Challenge! Every month, we as a community come up with a topic to challenge each other through pictures. Throughout the week of the topic, we post our pictures here for all to see.
Our goal for the community is to help people develop their photography skills and to motivate photographers to get out and shoot.
Basic Guidelines
Don't downvote submissions. If there is a submission you feel is inappropriate (posted in wrong subreddit, not a challenge submission, etc.), please report it to a mod and it will be considered for removal.
If you dislike a picture, let the poster know through constructive criticism. If you like a picture, upvote it and if so inclined, let them know why. As I'm sure you all know, people love to be praised for their work.
Lastly, please check the Rules and the FAQ on the wiki for more information before posting.

The Most of April Challenge #468: Routine
Due to Lack of participation we didn't have a February winner, so I crowd sourced the topics and a random picker said the April Topic is "routine" Thanks for the suggestion Ajros02!
Also sorry for the delay getting the next competition going, I was traveling for the eclipse and while it didn't slip my mind, the kids and family got in the way. I'll try and do better, but no promises.
