1. Okay, small brainstorming here
I will deliberately not expand on any thoughts on them;
"Time"
"Decay"
"Play"
"Out of place"
"Vice"

2. I like "out of place"
Ha! Saw a good one for that here--the Buddha at the hotel desk. It's really quirky. I think it's a great topic, and I had been thinking along those same lines. You look at the picture and say, "whoa- ya gotta be kidding me." Fun. But who knows someone else might have an idea here that I like even better. Vice--uh, I might opt out if that is the topic, alhtough I wouldn't have to look too far to get a shot of that.

Play would be a good one for spring or summer.

3. Ant's eye view
Been considering this for a while and then saw one on here that worked perfectly for that there.

7. of the ones so far i like "Decay" and "Posed Shot"
I want to re-visit my previous suggestion: "Something that made you laugh".

Or, just because Myth44 is running this: "reflections in a moor" ( is that the right word???).

Now, that made me laugh.

9. By "reflections in a moor," do you mean...
..."Exquisitely-colored sunrise or sunset landscape of wetlands with silhouettes of bare trees sticking out of the water and a perfect mirror reflection"...?

:rofl:

If so, you might as well go for it -- based on recent results, such a shot will win even if the topic is "rusted farm machinery." :evilgrin:

10. Thanks for laughing with me. He is awesome in what he produces
and an inspiration forever. Why do you think I bought a tripod?

22. THAT IS NOT A TRACTOR - even if you say so. It is the Hare I was looking for.
I'm a sucker for rusted stuff. Love this ! and you proved your point. Bet you dragged that out of the "moors".

15. Would a posed shot
have to include people or could someone put together a still life?

I kind of like Decay since it's a bit different.

I just hope no one goes out an shoots road kill.

20. I was leaving it open-ended
I think a still-life would qualify, as long as it is clearly posed.

That was my thought, anyway, but of course it would be up to the host.

13. I could go with "Hair" - but the other thing - I have seen neither hide nor hair of one.

12. Green?
(St. Patrick's Day and spingtime, you see.) Red turned out well.

14. I'd like to jump on ANY color suggestion -because I was so wide-eyed conflicted
about "red", voted for it on the come in order to rise to the challenge, and it ended up being so much fun and ultimately easy.
I think it might have collectively given us an awareness we did not have before.
But it might, like all good things, be a bit much to do another color so soon.
