Creative Challenge: Big & Small

Filed under: Uncategorized — Editorial at 12:01 am on Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Contrasting sizes of big & small are the focus of this challenge! Sometimes the best way to see a subject is when it’s in contrast to something else. A tiny newborn’s hand in contrast to his mother’s finger, or a massive ship side by side a sailboat – helps you appreciate their scale and beauty in a different way than if they were alone.

NEXT CHALLENGE THEME: City Life
Many of our challenges focus on the beauty in nature, from gardens, valleys, mountains and lakes. But beauty isn’t limited to the countryside, so for the next challenge we’ll turn our lenses to the hustle and bustle of the city. From amazing vistas of skyscraper filled skies, to the people, places and faces that make the cities around us so unique, this challenge is sure to inspire!
