Since I like to promote focusing on elements of composition, there are a couple different options for this month. Look for either one or more Triangle(s) or Diagonal(s) in your image. These are lines within your frame that allow the viewer's eye to move around. For these options, you are free to choose your own subject (cars, toys, landscapes, etc). Just please mention whether triangle(s) or diagonal(s) are in your image.

OR simply choose
Something That Is Living such as an animal, bird, person, insect, flowers, trees, etc. If you want, feel free to combine something living with one or more triangles or diagonal lines.

Here are a couple examples (you do NOT need to draw any lines on your images - these are just examples so you can understand what to look for):

1. Triangle

IMPORTANT TO READ THE FOLLOWING:

Let's get shooting! CREATIVITY/TECHNIQUE rules in this challenge, but there are a few guidelines:


1. Any photo submitted for a monthly assignment must be taken using a Nikon Camera!

2. All submissions must be taken during the month specified in the assignment thread and taken by YOU!
(Please insure that EXIF is either posted with the photo or if it gets messed up, hold yourself to the honor system and add the minimum Exif data of the Camera used and the date the photo was taken to your post).
3. Other than that, it's all up to your interpretation of the theme. Any photo will be accepted, SOOC or edited, doesn't matter.

4. Photos must be posted in this thread to be considered. Links to photos will not be considered an entry (In other words, no Flikr, Photobucket, or similar links)

5. Only THREE entries per member for each assignment. Please post entries separately (1 photo per post) and number the entry.

6. Entries will be judged by the number of likes received.

7. The top 5 shots will be displayed in a separate thread, and will be displayed in no particular order.

8. This is intended to be a FUN challenge. No critiques unless specifically asked. Also, please limit posts to just photos and brief descriptions/titles. Any comments/discussion should occur elsewhere, PLEASE.

As listed in other challenges, please note: NO CASH OR PRIZES will be awarded for this Monthly Assignment.

HAVE FUN!


*To clarify time for start of the assignment, it is 0000 UTC/GMT the first day of the month (similar to the weekly challenges) and ends at 23:59 UTC/GMT the last day of the month.

For those who still don't understand the concept of triangles, please look at this video by Joel Grimes. Start at 5:10 where he explains six rules of compositions. The first one shows examples of triangles.

The left tire track is a diagonal. The saw grass to the left and back to the horizon forms a triangle.
