Hello and welcome to the first editiion of this year's Weekly Challenge on Pentaxforums! Thanks again Noel for hosting and judging a very interesting challenge last week. This week's theme is "The Space behind the Subject", meaning there has to be some sort of striking, structured, meaningful background behind the subject, not just an empty wall or an undefined bokeh (beautiful as it may be). This can be some sort of vanishing point or alignment (which is technique I like to use), but any other kind of structured space is allowed as well. The subject itself can be everything - person, animal, building, plant... your choice. But there has to be (at least) one clearly defined subject!


The challenge will close on Saturday, Januar 16th at Midnight your time.

Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

One example:

The buffalo were told to keep their distance from the wild photographers - so this one is giving them a wide berth. (photographers and Yellowstone river in background)

I enjoy just walking around, finding an image, and capturing it. On an outing with my photo club at a somewhat local park, this scene presented itself. Happily, the person never moved, and a great silhouette was achieved!

Since the subject is not facing me, all that you see in this picture is "behind the subject". But then again maybe I'm pushing the definition of this challenge a bit too far

This challenge is closed now, thanks everybody for your entries! Since I am pretty busy at the moment it may take me a while to do the judging and post the winners, but I hope I can squeeze it in this evening (CET).
