Manhole ? How sexist ! It must be called personhole.

Proof that anything makes an object of inspiration for photographers . Mirromorrim, if shots could had include something else, it should had been cleared on the rules before, no? Maybe on Manhole II?

You didn't read the description "it may contain other objects".

This would make a good theme for a coffee table book :)

I personally have been surprised and delighted to see the variety of manhole covers from around the world. Those in Australia are SO BORING! (I think they have been designed by engineers!) :-) This challenge has been a mini history lesson.

I would like to see more creative, inspired shots - not just straight-on images. You may include more than just the manhole cover.

I love the challenge. We could see lots of design from different places :)
