March's GiveawaySpring is almost upon us and the weather is about to get warmer. It's time to let good things grow with a nice giveaway! Before we get to that, let's take a look at what I've been up to. I'm getting married! Tyler (my fiance) and I have chosen March 29th, 2014 as our tentative date and our colours are the springiest - daffodil yellow and spring green! I do love the colours of spring. I haven't had much chance to work on Autodidactivist, but I hope to get around to it soon. Have you heard of UnCollege? I am giving away a $30 Amazon GC to one lucky winner that is a member of the UnCollege Network. If you're interested, check it out here on Autodidactivist. Okay, okay, let's get to the prizes!
Two Grand Prize winners will be lucky enough to win 1000 points and a 3-month Premium Membership. That's a total of 2000 points and 6 months of free Premium Membership!
Prizes:
Grand Prize (2) - 10

Monthly Giveaway: MarchUPDATE: Winners have been picked for this month. #287: =WarriorCatMaster and #162: `SavageFrog

April will NOT have a giveaway, instead, I am hosting two contests. One is a comment contest , and the other is a friendship contest( http://rainylake.deviantart.com/journal/Rainy-Rampage-Critique-Contest-361940089 ) , ( http://rainylake.deviantart.com/journal/New-Contest-Friendship-357172249) I think my giveaways will be officially discontinued and instead will be replaced with actual contests. Stay tuned for more updates.

Critique by ~ChampionWinry44789 Jan 2, 2013, 9:31:08 AM

I like how I have seen these purple flowers around in the real world of photography. As I've seen these flowers, I pick at them since I was little and I like see the inside part of what they actually look like. What gives me the interest into seeing them a whole lot is how they look and the impact given to it's own color. These flowers are so little, I'd have to look very close at them just to see what they actually look like. The best part of these kinds of flowers, I'd like to see them again in real life, which seriously wants me to see them again in real life, (hence sadly I don't anymore). The way this photo is pulled off however, is giving it's good quality into capturing a lot of the purple flowers to make me want to see these again. If you'd ever want to grow to have a ton of these small purple flowers, then you should at least have them grow in your yard a whole lot if you'd like to see them in my honest opinion.

I like the way you draw the eye into the center of the picture with the focus you use on the flowers. Beautiful shot!
