Not to be a pain in the A$$ here, but isn't this challenge more about PERSPECTIVE and using different points of view/angles for your photo composition? Think like an ant...or bird...get on the ground...up in a tree...look up......not just whats in front of you.

For example...PD154 instead of just taking a snap of the bottom of your shoes...it would have been cool to setup your camera on the ground, pointing upward...you could then look like a giant getting ready to stomp on a bug...get where I'm coming from?

I know these monthly challenges are meant to be fun and whatnot, but to really GROW and LEARN...lets think out of the box a bit, isn't that  what this forum is all about.

Here's one I took awhile ago...just as another example of my thinking here....

I cut the bottom off a plastic cup, then put it over my camera lens to get this unique view of my daughter and the crazy straw.

Sorry for my rant...carry on!
