Entering different versions of same photo


Hi everyone
Newbie here ... When I shoot a subject I normally end up with more than one version of the photo ... different angle, different lighting, etc. Is it okay to enter different versions of the same subject in the contest in the same month? In the same category? In different categories?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Peggy

  YES, it is fine to enter variations of a shot in the same category or in different categories in a month. The only thing you need to make sure is not to put the SAME image more than once in any category in a given month. However, you CAN submit an image again next month and so on. Hope it clears the air for you, Peggy!

  Hi Usman
Thanks very much for your response and kind encouragement! Coincidentally, Monochrome is the image I am thinking of submitting again. I have entered one version in the Monthly Theme category and I am thinking of entering the other one in the Elements of Design category. Any further thoughts you have would be very welcome and much appreciated.
Cheers!
Peggy

  Peggy, Elements of Design (EoD) is perfect for "Monochrome". Just do it!!

  Nutz! I'm still confused (and Peggy, welcome to BP, and thanks for posing this question.)

Here is my specific question... Image#8288 is uploaded in color, and also uploaded in a B/W conversion. I can't enter the color version in EOD this month, and also enter the B/W version in Monthly Theme this month?

  One color version and 1 b/w version (of the same exact image) would count as 2 different entries/versions---so you could enter them both into July, and choose any category you like for each of them.
(Though I'd probably NOT put them both into the same category! One in EOD and one in Theme works fine.)

  Thanks, Christopher - it was easy to enter only one category until they made July's MT, B/W. That's when I became a bit confused on the double entry issue.

Btw, that answer sure made things a little more fun for this month.
