October Photo Contest - Theme Poll

We've had a bunch of great suggestions for next month's theme! Thank you all!

I'd like to run a quick poll (24 hours) to help gauge interest in the various ideas. I will post another thread Sunday evening with the chosen theme and the timeline for submissions, etc.

second (manufactured) home? I'll be there a lot of the time, and not much time at my first home because of various travels.

Check out the action I caught 5 paces from my back door a couple weeks ago.

cap on if the topic is 100 yards. I have some wonderful winter scenes, but want to be more current.

If the topic is "capture an object in motion" does that include to people too? Just thinking . . .

Pretty much any object in motion, although clouds would be a bit of a cop out.

"Action Photos at 100 Paces or Less" it is! That would be challenging, eh?

I'll post an OFFICIAL THREAD later, after the game.
