It's always impossible for me to win a contest because theres so much talent around, but that never stops me from trying and showing my skills. So heres mine entry with credits and raw images.

[Valium], a photographic and residential region nestled in a lush green landscape of mountains, seas, woods and forests, opened on 21 December and in celebration they are hosting their first Valium Annual Photo Contest from 4th Jan to 3 Feb,2019. For more infor you can check their Website & Flickr Group .
According to the rules you must be a member of their land group which requires a little fees (295L$), which gives you access and rez rights to the beautiful city. I was hesitant at first but after checking the place I fell in love with it and it was definitely worth it the price as it's for a good cause as the Funds go to Charity for The Nature Conservancy and of course you can get photography benefits along with it.
The Best Part about the contest was that I didn't had to edit the photos much, just some adjustments to make the image look real. The Windlight and the beautiful scenery was enough. I wanted to capture the whole landscape and somehow add a little part of me too. I had many ideas but I went for something different instead of just beautiful and fancy. I applaud all the people involved in making such a beautiful sim and scenery, I will definitely do another post about it covering all the beautiful parts of the valley, worth checking. Below are the raw images I took, you can see the struggles of me to take a perfect shot at perfect angle which is never perfect for me lol.

Thanks to my friend Jack for being my model for this pic as I really wanted to show what rain makes me feel, romantic rather than feeling sad (although I was missing my love but he couldn't be there for me for RL reasons which are understandable). Rain makes me feel happy even if I'm alone or sad it just makes me dance. They had this amazing area by the lighthouse yet another classic view with rain giving you the real feeling and pleasure of vintage old times. Unforgettable! Below are the Raw images and takes for this one in case you'r interested.
Thanks if you read whatever I wrote, or just went through the images or just checked the Credits whatever. If you like the images check them all in High-res in my Gallery or Flickr Page. Feedback, suggestions are always welcome. Feel free to contact me or just comment down below. XoXo :)
