Theme for the MAY Photo Contest? Ideas?

Last edited Mon Apr 22, 2019, 04:56 PM - Edit history (2)

I have some ideas for possible topics for our MAY Photo Contest. Tell me if you like any of them--or suggest a topic--and I'll put up a poll in a few days unless there is overwhelming support for any one idea.

SHADOWS

B & W or SHADES of GRAY (any subject)

DUSK

NIGHT LIGHTS

YOUR BEST SHOT (the one you wish you could enter but it never fits a theme)

WATER

REFLECTIONS

ANIMALS (wild, not domestic, but zoo residents are ok) NO PETS!

On edit adding another one: SACRED or INSPIRATIONAL SPACES/ PLACES

I am leaning towards the last one myself, in honor of the victims of hate crimes while in their chosen places of worship and of the structures destroyed by fires--whether arson or accident--in the last few years.

For those of us who connect to and take inspiration from the beauty of the natural world, I would include those places that touch our souls as well.
