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.

This month's challenge: "Square Frame" - all photos should be in a square format. If you need help with this, just ask.

AND

For the first time, a Sub-Challenge* : Square Frame - "Pair in a Square" - Within your square frame, include at least one pair of something - anything! Cool, huh?

Some examples:

Square Frame
Image
smile. on. the. sidewalk.


Pair in a Square
Image
new. shoes. on. an. old. floor.

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

*The sub-challenge is optional - and your chance to take the task one step further in terms of difficulty and creativity. There's no guarantee that it will earn you extra points, but - it just might! Have fun!

Great thinking! But the title could have been:[spoiler]Paradise (pair 'o dice)[/spoiler]
Go ahead. Steal it. I'm begging you.

Love the dice, Kyle...

And...I love this challenge...I have all kinds of ideas...

Here's a pair of novels (by my favourite author) ...between a pair of bookends... in a square.
