Rules:
1) This assignment will run from the 2nd through the 30th of the month.

2) I will judge the winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and I am not eligible to enter. The 1st place winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner and passes on the baton to the new champion.

3) To keep a level playing field, ***the photos for the assignment should be taken within the assignment period***

6) Each photo should be no larger than 800 pixels at its largest side

7) Borders or Watermarks are permitted

8) Post the camera type, lens, and if possible the EXIF data (shutter speed, aperture, iso, etc) with the photo.

9) Photographers should also be regular posters on Tampa Racing.

10) Two entry maximum this time.

11) Violations of the rules listed herein may lead to the deletion of your submission. If your submission is deleted, I'll leave a reason and you're welcome to resubmit before the deadline.

Post questions in the contest talk thread if you have them. These contest rules were drawn up by BrewPuBeaver (thanks again BrewPu) and the theme was decided by me (Michael.). Thanks to both of you.

Qualifications and Exclusions:
I wanna see some really "out there" type of pictures. Essentially, the shot that makes me really tilt/scratch my head the most to try and figure out (or not) what you were trying to depict will win. Make sense? I hope so, if not I can clarify if you have questions...

Example Images: (from Google Images)

Too many pics to post, really good examples here:
