Hey Hedgehogs, it’s time for another Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s theme is entitled Big Sky.
- Be sure the title or description of your entry explains your interpretation of the theme.

The challenges are simple. You start with a theme, but the twist is that everyone needs to submit a title or description with their photo that explains the ‘who, what, where, why, when or how’ they went through to get it. This helps us ‘feel’ the moment as you did, but can also help with voting. You might even find some great tips along the way.

This is about challenging yourself, pushing beyond your limits, so have fun and try anything and everything whether you are good at it or not. Remember; you can't win if you don't try. Good luck and have fun!

Bugz Loc: Spanish Fort, Alabama

My entry was a road stop travel scene of the sky over a tremendous 'nothing' flat lands with only minimal low mountains on the extreme left and in the far distance . . . amplifying the humongous "Big Sky" which was fully half of the scene. The picture was taken in the state of Montana ... you know ... the 'Big Sky' state. And you disqualified it and removed it. The view of the flat lands was imperative to the magnification of the extent of the big sky. You puzzle me with your rejections (multiple) of my entries; as in not knowing that a two pound mailable package of honey bees was a 'commercial product' having nothing immediately specific to do with honey. My only deviation from 'preferred' rules is that it was not taken within the week. Others are permitted lattitude in that. Still puzzled.
