First off, big thanks to Buggin for the wind challenge.  Everyone did a fantastic job interpreting the challenge in their own unique way.  I hope to see just as great results in my challenge.

I have to say I didn't really come up with the idea, I'll admit it.  Classy presented this at flickr back a couple months ago and when I saw a link last week for photographic games involving the same guidelines, I figured it might be fun here too.  I thought about doing something more traditional but I'm hoping this will be fun for both the artist and the viewer and will get people commenting.

That being said, I'm challenging you guys to go out, get up close and personal and ask us (the viewers) What the Heck is It?!? 

Take the macro out and distort reality.  Or use a long telephoto and an odd angle to make something big, unusual.  Try not to use anything obscure that people won't even know what it is, but everyday objects looked at in a new light. 

The rules:  Let people guess (that means GUESS PEOPLE).  Don't give it away in the story.  If it can't be guessed after a day, give a hint.  Try and post a picture of the object in the comments after it's been guessed (or no one can figure it out).  Participate and review stories often for the unveiling of the object. Please limit Photoshop work to cropping and exposure. And lastly, HAVE FUN!

Our next host with the most... The Old Guy!

P.S.  Here's a hint for what my next story will be (and it's specifically for pyguy!) 

EDIT:  Answers (starting with What numbered as 1)

I don't have a full scale image of the fan.

I want to thank everyone who played and is still playing.  You guys are really making this challenge a huge success!

The challenge I would like you to work on is to shoot pictures that represent friendship or romance.  My thinking is that Valentine's Day is just around the corner and many of us will be thinking of it and preparing for it.

I must apologize for my shots.  I did not have the time to spend on them that I had planned because of school commitments.  I KNOW that you can do better than I did.  Here are my humble examples:
Kitten Friendship an example from the animal world.
Love between Grandpa and Granddaughter
Sign for Love this one is for Jaime.
Summer Friendship
Symbol of Commitment
A Symbol of Romance
Words of Love

I am also going to work on this challenge because after this week I will have a little more time.  This challenge is from Jan. 27 to Feb. 10.  The next hostess is kaloleO (Carol) and she will post on Feb. 10.  Thanks, Lidljo (Jo)  

Have fun and don't get shot by Cupid.
