Default Photo focus/topic game

Okay, so as I'm looking through pictures this game may not be as easy as I thought, but it could still be fun if people are willing to give it a try. Basically the concept is to post a photo, then have someone post another photo that takes an element that was not the focus of the first photo and make it the focus. For example, with this photo:



a followup could be something focusing on a tree, a hat, glasses, sparklers, just anything that is an element but not a focal point.
I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

I would post another, but I think playing off your own pics is cheating... :P

If no one else has, I'll post when I get home. I also have plans for my self portrait assignment/post so I'm eager for time to roll around so I can go home and start on these projects.

(took some editing as my wife was partially in the shot, hope it doesn't show too much...)
Now the tricky part about this is to give a shot that someone can grab another element from, otherwise we may be in a bit of a rut..

Default Rings

Do the rings count? Or is it too much a part of the main subject in the previous pic?
