August challenge "from above"

[tmk2]

Sorry about the late start to this one. This months challenge is from above and can be taken into whatever context you like.

•The shot MUST be taken this month, with the closing date being midnight on the 31st August
•The exif must be posted with your shot
•Keep the images posted to a decent size please, 1024px wide max
•I'll choose the winner this month (with the winner choosing the theme for next month, then deciding who should win that months)
•The Challenge for next month should be generic, as not everyone has access to zoom, macro, specialist lenses. It should be shots that everyone is capable of achieving with the bare essentials

good luck!

Not meaning to nit pick (of course as per PH tradition) but wasn't that taken "from below"? I suppose the subject is above so my point may have no relevance to this thread :0)

I thought the first one was rather creative since, iirc, the message related to what might come from above.

Oh well ....

[longun]

Me too. I think peoples interpretation of the theme is interesting, seeing what peoples minds come up with. I was fine with the first pic and also think it was better
