Great themes thus far

Nikolai

I know we're still very early in the game, but insofar the choice of themes has been extremely interesting and challenging. :clap :bow
Definitely beats the living sheet out of everything else I've seen around the 'Net... :wink :thumb
Helps to keep one's on his/her toes, and really works as a great exercise for the subsequent upper level contest tiers. :deal

You're not whistling Dixie! Talk about mental gymnastics....ok, brainstorming.....to put your fears at rest, I won't be taking a self portrait

Boy howdy! I racked my brain for two weeks and kept my eyes open--yet no entry. :cry Just could not come up with something for round 2 at all. I think I'll have better luck with the current one. Definitely challenging themes & they are at least keeping me thinking about it.

You know what I just did that his helping me with ideas for #3? Do an online search for the definition and ideas of what others have done. I have several ideas for #3 and I actually think my entry for #2 isn't as strong as it would ahve been had I done that. It's breaking me out of my mold a little!

Also, I've learned taht you just DO it! Even if it's not good, but you enter something - you're one step up!

Anyway, good luck with this one Claudermilk!!

I'm excited to do it!

The first 2 topics....honestly I was stumped! I just couldn't get creative enough to come up with a decent idea for the contests, but this one has my mind racing with thoughts and ideas. I think this challenge will turn out great results from everyone.

Don't be stumped

Internet is your friend.

Go to any online Dictionary and check all the multiple meanings of both subjects. Then google Images for each one. This should bring you into the ballpark of what has been already done. Now it's all you and your camera...

As much as I hate to admit it... that's exactly what I was doing with the other challenges. I just couldn't get motivated to produce any photographs. Tomorrow's the big day. I have most of it off so I may treat myself to a new lens. I have my paper infront of me full of ideas to test out.

We'll see.

I have a feeling that a lot more people will be finding something to shoot for this round because the subject is somewhat seemingly less obscure. But that's also the challenge - to be able to come up with something that stands out from the crowd and is pleasing to the judges.

It's definitely an interesting competition and continues to stretch everyone's imagination and capabilities which in my books makes it a brilliant competition.
