October: One Foot

Judge: Richard Bender

The photo must include at least one foot, and the foot must be a major element in the image. The foot may be animal, human, artificial, or an abstract impression that appears to be a foot.

Given the plasticity of the English language, there might be other plays on the definition of “foot” that a judge might find to be acceptable and indeed creative.
