    My Challenge was to find a subject that we see all the time and take for granted, and take photos that are interesting, and that one might spend a moment or two looking at. This is my first attempt.

    I thought that looking straight up into the leaves of the Oak trees and getting the sky blue and the leaf green with different light and zoom in close, would be interesting. What do you think?

    I really like your photographs Tom. They are so much better than simply photographing the whole tree. I especially like the looks of your first, third and last pictures. :-D

    That's an interesting challenge Tom. If I had a halfway decent camera I would join in! The leaves look fresh against the blue sky. I like :)

    The first and fifth are my favs. They'd make nice screen backdrops for the computer. Great job!

    I really think this is a nice idea, Calomaar. Your first attempt is a good one. I enjoyed contemplating the pics.
