The purpose of these challenges is to encourage us to get out and get the best shot of an assigned subject. It's a great way to enhance your photography skills.
Even if you think you take crappy pictures, please join in. Those of you just reading the forum and not posting, this is your chance to join in and show off.

Only rules:
It has to be taken by you.
It has to be taken in Upstate NY. *

A winner will be selected based on the following criteria:
-freshness (have we seen it somewhere before or did you take it just for this challenge? - we prefer the latter!)
-frame
-subject
-creativity
-use of color (or lack thereof)
-uniqueness

* Photos taken outside of Upstate NY are welcome for display as long as they are labeled as such.

Love Blue Jays...nice picture, Brenda. And Kelly...I love that old windmill picture....those things always fascinate me.

Here's one I took in November at Harbec Plastic on Route 104 in Ontario, while we were installing a second wind turbine there.
I spent almost as much time shooting reflections around that still lagoon as I did the construction of the turbine.

You installed that Mikell? I was working right up the road, and watched it grow each day as I passed by. :up:
