 I've really got no ideas for this one. I was out running errands, and this idea came to me. I had the box in the back and the camera in the passenger seat so I was all set. I came to a long straight stretch, set down the box and took the shot. I had just gotten my 10-22mm so I wanted to play around with a little bit and this gave me the prime opportunity. So whether it does good or not, I had a good time shooting for the first time with the new lens....I can just imagine the possiblity with how wide this lens is!!!!

Heh - must be thumbing for a ride every time a UPS truck passes by? Cute idea and I love the focus and clarity too.

Love the perspective of this one... and that fact that it is beyond the "thinking outside the box" and cat theme this challenge has!

I wouldn't pick up a strange box. You don't know anyhting about it or where it has been.

I feel like something is missing. Like a great book missing the last chapter. I look at this and catch the hint at humor, but can't find the punchline.

I think I just figured it out...it needs a sign on it saying "Hollywood or Bust," or something to that end.

Nice set-up though and the colors are great...way to avoid the over-processing trap.
