Photo Challenge 161: LOOKING DOWN

    It’s difficult to think of something new!

    But anyway, the theme I’ve come up with for this Challenge is: ‘Looking Down’.
    So, it should be clear from images being submitted that the camera lens was tilted at a downwards angle when the photo was taken.


    I hope you get the idea and as a guide here are a few examples I’ve rustled up from stuff I’ve taken.

    Rules:
    -Closing Date is 2 weeks from now - that is Sunday 2nd August at 8pm.
    - Only photos taken with this challenge in mind qualify. Therefore the photo must be taken between now(8.30pm on 19/7/2015 )and 8pm on 2/8/2015 and so no 'old ' photos are to be used.
    -The photo must be taken by the person submitting it.
    -Only one photo per post, but submit as many posts as you like.
    -The next task/subject is to be chosen by the person who has the most thanks after their post at the closing date/time.

    I hadn't seen the challenge subject yet but took this while out for a stroll this afternoon, while looking down on the sea from the Irishtown Nature Reserve...

    No problem - the important criterion is that the photo be taken after 8.30pm 19/7/2015

    I'm not too sure if the pic of the swallow chick in the nest qualifies - I had to crop a good bit and brighten a little!:)
