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).

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

Must be athletes involved.

| 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. |

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

[/quote] I think it's ok if you have shoes on. [/quote]
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 ...

| 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! |

how can we prove that the foot is effectively ours?
what should we do, we take the footprints of the hallux? :D |

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

Voters won't have any proof but they will expect to have some confidence. They challenge is to do it and be seen to do it. If someone pulls that off with something other than their left foot, we won't know and really, unless they admit to it, it won't matter.
I'm sure there will at least be some right feet with the image flipped for example. Particularly legitimate if you happen to use a mirror and want to avoid (paradoxical) 'wrong foot' allegations. |

| The challenge says "My Left Foot" and says to put YOUR left foot blah blah blah... I think it'd be like the 50 yards challenge where we have to trust each other. My left foot is quite far away so I have a lot more options in terms of lens selection ;) |

Don't know how they'd know.
You can fire the camera remotely at your foot or shoot someone else's. v |

Good grief... now were finding "Lefties" even in DPC.
Those of us to the Right of "Attila the Hun" demand equal time. :O)

Sounds a little like a Left Foot Self Portrait Challenge to me! But I like all kinds of nice photo's regardless of the challenge description!
