Weekly Challenge #543 - Looking Up
Posted By: cooks333, 08-06-2021, 07:53 AM

Thanks to jacamar for hosting last week's trees challenge and selecting my image. The theme for this week is "looking up". Doesn't necessarily have to be straight up (although that would certainly qualify), but most, if not all, of the image has to be clearly above your line of sight. Photos of other people looking up don't count (I want to see YOUR perspective). Usual rules of the weekly challenges apply and are copied below and deadline for submissions is Sunday, Aug. 15 at Noon MST (Phoenix, AZ). Looking forward to seeing what you've got!

Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
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, Ricoh or Samsung DSLR 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.
