Weekly Photo Contest: Wood

[Andrew Martonik]

Block wall. Taken with the Nexus 5 in HDR+ mode.

Another week, another chance to show off your best photos taken with Android devices and have a shot at winning an awesome prize. We're coming hot off the heels of a well-received photo contest that saw five folks pick up an Android Central t-shirt, and we hope we get another great turnout. This week's prompt is simple and easy to find subject material for ? "wood." Whether it's trees, chairs or doors, there's a good chance you can take an artistic photo of something wooden this week. Let's see what you can do.

As always, there will be prizes for the best photos of the bunch. We're in a giving mood again this week and will pick five winners, each of whom will receive a Chromecast!

Entering is easy. Just drop your entry in a post below. Tell us what Android you used to get the picture, and any back story you want to add to it. We'll pick a winner Tuesday (February 11) night at 11:59 PM ET, and announce them on the blog with next Wednesday's contest.

• Pictures must be taken with an Android device
• Pictures must be uploaded to the contest thread. I'm not running all over the Internet to track them down.
• You have to tell us what device you used to take the picture, and any special software you might have used. Editing your pictures is fine ? this is art.
• You must have used a valid email address to register here at AC, so I know how to contact the winner.
• Only one entry per week per person.

Good luck, everyone!

I was taking a Fall hike in Windham, NY, when I stumbled across this abandoned, vintage, rusty bicycle propped against an old tree, sitting on a pile of beautiful fall leaves. The photo was taken with my then-phone (the HTC Droid DNA). I used PicSay Pro to adjust the contrast and saturation, to make the beautiful colors pop more. It's one of my favorite pictures that I ever took on a mobile device. Thanks AC for these awesome contests!

A beautiful open courtyard somewhere along the road in China, used as a kitchen. I loved the composition of wood with cement render walls.

Here's "El ?rbol de las Almas Ca?das" (The Tree of Fallen Souls), a petrified tree in Durango, Mexico that's been carved to depict the faces and bodies of souls 'flowing' in the tree, using the branches as limbs and bodies... Creepy concept, beautiful execution. The picture is only a portion of the tree, taken with a Galaxy Note 3, #nofilter
