#9: I love that it is spring and stays light until 7pm. I get so much done between 5 and 7, whereas in the winter I feel like crawling into the fetal position right after dinner.

Here are the elements:
1 - a hat
2 - the shadow of something living
3 - partially desaturated
The first element, a hat is fairly straightforward. We will accept any sort of headgear...baseball cap, tiara, panama hat, beret, homburg, ten gallon cowboy hat, fedora, bowler, tam o'shanter. But only the headgear; no heads, thank you very much.
The second element isn't as tricky as it sounds. A shadow of something living is just that, with a single exception: no human shadows. We don't care if the thing casting the shadow is animal or plant, so long as it's living. No undead plants or animals, please. And yes, the living thing can appear in the frame, but the shadow should be dominant.
Finally, we want the photograph to be partially desaturated. By that we mean the entire photograph should be partially desaturated, not just a section of it. Almost every image processing software out there has some provision for desaturation. If yours doesn't, download Picasa; it's free. The final photo should be recognizably desaturated...not entirely, just partially.
