On behalf of Nick (nickds7) here is assignment 37: Up Close and Personal
I'd like to see some of your up close and personal shots... Taking a photograph close up to the subject shows much more than a photo with just a tight crop. There's so much more attitude and personality to these close up shots that I just love... sometimes you can see the distortion of a lens, or the harshness of a close up flash, or just a mother holding her baby close.
" Amazing shots everyone!! I spent more time selecting these than I'd like to admit, but here are my selections. "
