December contest topic.

Hull Boss wants me to do a contest on "flotation," probably because he's a ship guy and this subject "floats his boat," so to speak, but I think it could also include things floating in air, like leaves or balloons, dust in sunbeams (something with which I'm quite familiar), or little or big things floating on water. Incense or cigarette (or whatever) smoke.

I would have probably thought of something else, but this might work. What do you all think?

It's open to a lot of different interpretations, which will make for an interesting contest.

is that I'm stumped at the onset of a proposed theme, and then I start seeing it everywhere. Heck, I thought I would never have one for "11" and then ran a thread on my rejects.

So, sure, go for it. By tomorrow I may have a thought on what to go shoot.....
Congratulations on your win. The photograph of the baskets is lovely, and the colors in it are really homogeneous, I loved that about it.
