| I'd like to get some feedback on what the community's thoughts are on this "tactic". Suppose you have favorite photo that you took long ago, but that would be perfect for submission. You can't submit that exact photo, since obviously the entries all have to be photographed within the challenge dates. So, you decide to recreate the exact same photo--same set up, same lighting, same subject and reshoot during the challenge. While technically it meets the letter of the rules, does it meet the spirit of the rules? Do you think doing this is acceptable or a form of cheating? Thanks for your opinions! |

| How better to show what you've learned since the previous challenge? No one will know it is you re-creating it anyway (during the challenge). |

I tend to agree with GeneralIE here. I have a couple of photos I've done in the past. At the time I thought they were great. Since then I have learned far more and were I to redo them they would be, I hope, far better ..... though the composition etc would not have changed.
However, my photo would not be exactly the same. I have learned and thus the lighting might change, or something like that.
If the photo was literally unchanged then all you would have decided is that it either fits the challenge better or something like that.
I'd say go for redoing your photo, but look for small ways you can improve it. I know I could improve all of mine now if I tried. |
