Click-a-Pic Challenge #39 "Wild Card - Part A"

[shutterspeed]

Since we've had several new people join us in our challenges I thought this bi-weekly challenge could incorporate 2 of the same.

What's a wild card challenge you ask? Well this week's challenge is to look back over the past challenges and pick a challenge that you didn't get a chance to participate in. If you're one of the lucky ones that's participated in all the challenges then just pick one you'd like to do again. The point of the wild card challenge is to do a challenge you didn't get a chance to do the first time around. When posting your photos refer to which challenge you decided to try!

Need help remembering previous challenge ideas? Here's the list, Challenges 1-20 :

Your Most Favorite Wild card Challenge A
This is my favorite photo that I took of my son and our dog Mandy. I enlarged it and have it laminated on a wood plaque on or wall in the living room and everyone always comments on the photo! I'll upload both images.
