One of the key aspects of "get pushed" is that we get "pushed" out of our photographic comfort zones... this means that you need to find something that is a CHALLENGE for your partner...
Look thru the recent months of their project and come up with something they don't seem to have done, or have indicated struggling with... it could be a type of subject, a compositional technique, a particular camera setting, use of light, anything... as long as it is something they don't seem to have done, or done much of...
If you're paired with someone who appears very experienced and accomplished, give them a concept challenge - eg.: interpret a word (something a bit intangible like "silence", or "ambiguous"... not a thing like "animal" or "toy")...
Looking thru your partner's albums needn't take a lot of time... but it is very much appreciated when this effort is invested...
Explain what your challenge was when posting your shot. This helps the previous week's winner when they are choosing the week's finalists. And if someone is cruising the photos with a "get pushed" tag, they like to see what the challenge was when looking at your photo.

A COUPLE OTHER THINGS
it's that time of year when a lot of people decide to drop off the list and a lot of others jump on board... hopefully i've got the list right, but:
-- if i left your name ON by mistake, left your name OFF by mistake, or made a MISTAKE in spelling your name, please let me know by responding to this thread and i'll fix things up...
-- if you are interested in joining this challenge, respond in this thread and i will add you to the list... if it's not too late in the week, you'll likely be able to play this week...
-- if you find you must bow out of the game after i've posted the list, please let me know ASAP in this thread, and please tag your partner... i will do my best to find a them a new partner...
-- if you don't get a challenge by late afternoon Tuesday, let me know in this thread... PLEASE do not suffer in silence! even if you're ok with not playing this week, the person paired with your partner next week may be very disappointed... letting me know about inactive players is the only way i can keep the list up-to-date...
-- Saturday / Sunday Mar 7 and 8 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Mar 9 thru Sunday Mar 15 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-137, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, March 16 - the winner of week 136 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
1. Find your partner from the list below and click on their name to get to their profile
2. Browse through the last couple of months of photos to get a feel for what they shoot and don't shoot etc.
3. Post an introduction on their last photo, and also issue the challenge you are setting.
RESPOND TO A CHALLENGE
4. You have until midnight next Sunday, to take and post your shot or shots.
5. When posting your shot WRITE A SHORT DESCRIPTION about
-- who challenged you,
-- what the challenge was,
-- what you found hard about it etc.
6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-137
7. Tag your challenger in a COMMENT (not just your write-up). You MUST tag your partner in a separate comment... tagging them in your write-up of your photo is not sufficient as it will not result in them getting a notification...
ALSO
8. it is nice to visit the photo that was made in response to your challenge and offer some comments and maybe even some constructive criticism...
9. On the Monday after the challenge is over, the winner of the previous week will pick 5 finalists for a vote, this can be based purely on their fav photos, who they felt best met the challenge etc, etc.
@northy@luvmynynix hasn't been on 365 in three weeks or so. I've been partnered with Ashley @shesnapped before, but we can be partners this week, if that's OK?
@trishaclancy hi Trisha... yes - i will find a new partner for @lehnistina ... do you want me to automatically add you back next week or will you let me know?
@northy Hi Northy. I will be taking part this week however for the next few weeks I would like to be taken off. I will be back on Easter Weekend 4th & 5th April. Thank You for the good work.
It seems that some on the list have not even posted this month so probably not going to respond. I was given a challenge but no follow up. I only posted myself today so am late but had goes reason..
@neatz hi Anita... if folks can let me know who seems to be missing, then i will take them off the list until they resurface... i notice your partner for this week @nanderson is a bit behind in her project, but she seems to only be posting once or twice a week now, so perhaps she still intends to play... if you don't hear from her by tomorrow, let me know and i'll pair you up with someone else...
@northy@neatz sorry ladies. I did not post last week because I have had the flu for a couple weeks...😊however I will get back to Anita and my apologies to you Northy for having to follow up!
@northy Hi Northy. Sorry. Didn't mean to be rude and not reply but I only saw your message yesterday. Maybe you could add me back in for next week if thats ok?
Tweets ahoy!
