November contest ideas

Post some ideas for the November challenge. I'm seriously considering having it be Close-ups since there have been so many wonderful close up photos posted lately.

But I will certainly consider other options!

I like the idea of closeups/macro although that may exclude those without macro lenses
also how about flash photography

is it OK to say you made me laugh this Sunday morning?
Why not just say: submit a photograph. It can be anything at all, except from a trip to Outer Space.

They don't have to be macro shots. I've taken some decent close ups with my iPhone.

Congratulations, again, you magnificent submitter of winning photographs.

So, who's on the hook for Autumn?
We are still dealing with the fallout from the long break for the lack of polls.
