I like the idea of flipping an image of a foot reflected in the mirror! :) |

Is this true Paul or are you being sarcastic?
I usually try to find a "different" angle .... maybe that is my lesson for this year - don't try to be smart, just do what it says ... |

Ha! You think its funny? I live on a farm and had a quick look at my feet (left or right ... ;-)). No way .... :-). I can try to find a mud puddle and stand in that of course ;-) |

I don't mean a decent score from me - I'm not a DNMC-type person. I meant overall. Some people will expect 'evidence' that it is your left foot and will score accordingly. If you want those votes to positively contribute to your score then you'll need to give them what they expect to see.
Take my 30 second or more Blue - I ensured there was blur to demonstrate movement indicative of a long exposure.
The interesting bit is squaring the circle, playing the DPC game whilst cooking up an interesting take. |

I think it's ok if you have shoes on. |

| Around here your feet are too busy avoiding cow pats to stand for portraits. Even in the main street! My youngest daughter brought a. Very spoiled boy from arich family home to meet us as he stepped out of his BMW sports car in his italian shoes .... He stepped straight in to a cow pat lol! |

Really? Are you reading this thread? How would you know if there was a foot in the shoe? ;-) ... anyway, the type of shoe I like needs a well groomed foot :-)
But I think it is a tough challenge for older, but not really old members (those old feet can look interesting, but a "middle aged foot"...? Better stand on something REALLY interesting to make the image worth looking at ;-)).
I think we should contact SC and insist on a handicap ...

You can always order a new left foot if you need to...

| I'm a little bummed that this challenge arrived when it did. there's going to be a highlining (similar to tightrope walking, but 100+ meters long on dynamic 1-inch webbing) competition in my area just after the deadline. It would certainly make for a great photo, but I'm sure I'll find something else. |

what about those that are left-foot challenged? Is there a way to account for this handicap? if not, I call racism.

It's not racism -- it's footism! |

Good thing the monitor stops at providing a maximum of 2 senses (sight and occasionally sound), cause i'm sure some of these entries are going to stink. (and i don't necessarily mean they're bad images...though that may well be true too).
