So that means you can include anything on the planet pretty much. It's amazing how small a thing can be and yet still fill the frame when you shoot from a low perspective.

Top ten, what's that? I think I would be happy in the top 25 at this point. |

I know there are as many ways of approaching photography as there are snowflakes.
I guess my point is that there are 5 million sites that can show what somebody needs to know about exposure, composition, subject matter, lens selection.
There are not too many sites that just let you shoot a photo and let it ride on how it hits folks, cliched or not, technically proficient or not.
Also, I agree..eggs were a major theme. I took 200 photos of eggs in different states and looked at them and said...BAH!!!
I had a photo that satisfied me enough in composition but was so screwed up exposure wise I don't think anybody would have liked it but me.
see it here...//www.pbase.com/image/1775559
I can't even smell an egg now without getting sick. :-P |

I think you were wrong about the curves challenge. There were more musical instrument shots than human body shots (at least after DQ).
Originally posted by manic: I'm sometimes helplessly overanalytical, so I've noticed that for each challenge I've entered, there have been some very popular subjects. These I choose to call the 'cliché' shots. For example:
Curves - human body Stopped Motion - water (!) Transistions - the sky / sunset

It doesnt have to be the sky. It can be inside. You can also use something as a background (upground?) : ) > . . .

Gordon, what a great shot.
If this is a throwaway, I can't wait to see what you keep.

Did you forget the yellow lights including the tiny one hidden in the tree? |

Thank you. Some people need to be lead, kicking and screaming, away from their first thought which will likely always be many other persons first thoughts. |
