March 2023 Challenge -- Downward


Recommended Posts

 

Thanks for the votes (and my first time in the challenge!)

Here goes with the March Challenge which centres around the word and/or concept of DOWNWARD!

 

The usual conditions apply:  Three photos per entry and the photos must be on Alamy. Submissions close March 31st at 11.59pm. GMT

 

Interpret  Downward how you like, but here are some of mine:

Interesting, I haven't got the keyword 'downward' in 24,857 images. I will have to look into that.

Congrats again! Here are my three.  Would a screenshot of my Alamy sales graph be okay, that shows downward in lots of ways...😅

Good subject.  Out of the many I have I am finding it difficult to select three so thought I might be a bit different but still, I hope, in the spirit of the title.

ARRRG! You know I'm worried about high places. Especially when standing on a glass panel.

I was pretty worried myself. It was all I could do to creep out a foot or so to get the composition.

Useful challenge this as I don't have many photos with the words down or downwards, preferring from above, so some work to do there !

 

1) Looking down at mother and child

Who designed that station?  Fancy putting the steps up/down in between the tracks.
