Good to see this as a contest. I had actually made a posting in the thumbArts forum about this when the Olympics began hoping it would gain some response and those of us not at the event could see some interesting perspectives from the vantage of all us shutterbugs. Can't wait to see what gets entered! :)

*Gets out the old canon SLR - i have a whole load of idea's for this, just one question, does it have to be one photo or can we create a deviation of several photo's? :D
