OK, the previous topic was a bit more on a difficult side. Maybe this one will be easier...
Shoot something spiral. I.e. making sure spiral is the primary subject of the frame.
The usual set if rules applies: fresh pictures, etc.
Spiral anyone?

Staci,
thank you for the entry! :thumb
My only nit is that I would crop out the bottom left part (which is also too hot anyway), to concentrate on the spiral subject...:scratch

Danny,
this is a very nice shot, and it would be great entry for "straight up" or "VP" assignements. :thumb
But it's not a spiral. :dunno
This is a class, we're a bit more "verbatim" here than in the other places. :deal

…the spiral thingy at the top of the scroll is called a volute (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volute)

Nice entry, Sean! :clap
I would only crop out the bottom part and make it typical landscape (2:3 or 3:4):deal

Yeah looking at it with fresh eyes this morning, I can see that the square crop is too top heavy.

Nice spiral, thank you! :thumb
I only think that the negative space on the top should be cropped off...:scratch
