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 Feb 7 & 8 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Feb 9 thru Sunday Feb 15 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-133, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, February 16 - the winner of week 132 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-133
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.
@ludgate I am still playing. I sincerely apologize for not posting my daily photos lately since my net access was very limited during my vacation. But now I am back. Megan, my challenge for Helen @weebindi2 was given 4 days ago.
Also, even though my net access was limited my daily photos were intact and I never forgot to take a photo each day.
@scottmcc1 hi Scott... welcome to 365! i have added you to the list to get paired up for next week... for this week, there's still a good chance someone else will come along looking for a partner :)
Hey @northy, I'm getting buried and my 'return' to 365 is more sporadic than I would like. I will issue a challenge and all this week, but please remove me from future lists for now. Thanks!
@thejazzyj@lavenderbells hi there... i've dropped a note to your partners to see if they are still playing - both are still reasonably up to date on their projects so hopefully they are... Can you let me know if you hear back within the next day? if neither of you do, then you can partner up... if one does and the other doesn't, then i'll partner with whoever is still needing one...
Tweets ahoy!

@fearinnocent @weebindi2 Helen, did Edwin give you a challenge last week? I was just reading the thread on Edwin's most recent image, which made it seem like Edwin might not be playing get-pushed at the moment...
