Hey there everyone....the September Challenge is wrapping up and October will be here soon!!! It's time for us to begin thinking about what our Monthly Challenge will be.... I have some suggestions and Jovan and I would love to hear yours.....throw them out for debate..... Ideas: Backlighting and Silhouettes The idea of backlighting can lead to some dramatic and mysterious images, especially when the subject is a person. Intense light can produce almost two dimensional silhouettes while soft diffused lighting can create romance and softness. The Unusual Portrait The idea that a portrait can be more than just a face.....hands in their environment, or feet hanging off a dock into the water... Your turn.....throw out YOUR ideas......

I am, therefore I create.......

I like this suggestion. Its technically challenging with the exposure and I think it will make for some very good images. Please dont restrict us to portraits for the subject. Nice one Michelle gets my vote :O)

Uh.....nevermind....slowbrained tonight.... For Backlighting & Silhouettes it could be anything you wanted it to be, as long as you used backlighting. :~)

Out of the 2...Backlighting & Silhouettes gets my vote! Here's another idea thought I throw at ya all! Point of View (POV)- Imagine yourself as a bug or animal...maybe a child..create/capture an image from something else's perspective. My 2 cents! L8r!

"Backlighting & Silhouettes" sounds interresting. I also like "Point of View".

I like both ideas, actually. So I'm fence-sitting this one out. Hehehehehe... ;-) (And I hope we do get to do the other unpicked challenge in the future as well...) (*
