Challenge 08
Sorry for the lateness of this, guys. You're going to have a little less time for this challenge than usual but we don't want to screw up our schedule (err... much more, I mean *sheepish grin*).
Anyway, I've had so little time this week I barely took the time to think about the next challenge for this comm. So this was pretty much thought of over my knee (though it spawned an interesting discussion with saeva of what was valid or not for the particularities of the challenge).
08 - "Close Crop" - Open Challenge
"This face- right here- my over-the-moon face. " (Veronica Mars)
Yep, we're going for a trend-ish cropping challenge. And a bit of an opposite challenge to the Negative Space one we had a couple of weeks ago.
Your mission this week is to crop closely in your image; instead of taking in much of the subject's body or image background, you're going to go on close. Be daring! :) Close crops usually work better on the face, though, err, other body parts are welcome too, if you'd like (and don't take that in the gutter-y way!).
Just a few examples of what would constitute a close crop for this challenge (just because Andrea told me to be specific... hehehe):
(and the icon I posted with, by the lovely the_justiner)
If you're in doubt whether your icon fits, just drop me a word and I'll let you know. :)
You may submit up to two icons, and you're welcome to use two different shows for these if you want. Check out this post if you're looking for ideas and this post for a short list of some useful resources, including screencap galleries. If you know where to find screencaps of different shows, you're welcome to drop a word in that post with a link. We'd appreciate it very much, and so would everyone else. :)
