May theme - Looking Up

The voters have spoken and we have a theme. Looking Up. Both nature and architectural photos are acceptable, black and white or color. Creative processing okay but not required.

Open submissions will begin on May 10 and will run for 5 days or until 30 submissions are received, whichever comes first. If anyone needs to submit before then , let me know. I can post your entry for you.

Have fun shooting! 📷

I'll be sitting this one out but I know the entries will be wonderful because the theme is a really good one for sparking creativity.

So far I have only taken a literal interpretation but as I take more pictures I realize there are so many other ways to think about it...

Up a waterfall:


Up through butterflies:


Then I started getting creative... Looking up the street:


I came up with a few more...
- Looking up to someone.
- Looking uptown.

Can't wait to keep shooting!

Don't like any of my walking around shots yesterday. One shot--from the archives--
with just a little cropping.

This is one I took yesterday of the Bell Tower on the UNC campus

You have many incredible shots!

Prelims start tomorrow so you have a bit of time to decide. 😊
