admin said:Awesome entries so far, I think this will make a great regular monthly competition. A few of the submissions I've found a a bit tricky to read on my phone without zooming in (I don't have the biggest or most recent phone).
Me too. If you let us know which ones, perhaps we could revise and replace? There's nothing worse than straining to read something. It ruins the beauty of the moment in regards to the photograph.

Ahavati, Artemios & MadameLavender - text could be slightly larger and/or a white background on text
calamitygin - the font style on the background makes it hard to read
poetryaccident, OxyMoronicMe & Jade-Pandora - these ones were clear on my phone without zooming
I'm really enjoying this competition, it's unleashing a whole new creative angle. I know we've had the option of visual poems on DU Poetry for a while, but it's not something we've really celebrated properly until now.
