Join.

I believe we still have a one-month "trial" membership for $5.

I will once I find a way to get a pen-pal account or convince my parents to buy me a membership.

Where are you from? They only charged me $20.

I sure wish we were able to just interpret the word "Faceless" on this challenge.

I found this on one of our state historical treasures yesterday. I suppose it is a list of our next generations historical society. It was taken at Knight's Ferry, site of the old Tulloch grist mill in the California Mother Load country.

I guess this means I have to figure out what normal human activity is?

My interpretation was like "Candid" but without showing faces. Anything a human is doing when they haven't been posed by the photographer is 'Normal human activity' in my opinion.

I have what I think is a great idea for the challenge but based on the opinions in this thread it won't score well...but what do I care? I'm going to do it anyway!

Grr.

what a great shot for this challenge, can I give you your 10 in a forum and still have you feel great about your shot?

Faceless is a cool theme but I think "headless" would be even more interesting.
I'm sort of with cloudsme. I'd prefer not to see any sort of face, mask or otherwise, while voting.

I agree with this. That is how I interpretated the challenge but I suppose i could be wrong!! wouldn't be the first time I was wrong with a challenge.

Being posed is also a "normal human activity". All the thing says is faceless, meaning, as I understand the word, without face. I didn't read anything about "candid".

this was a ribbon winner, great photo, but like yes we all have one!

I can't think of anything that would be more normal for a model then posing. Despite things I may have heard that would suggest otherwise models are human. I think you should interpret this anyway you please. If it is a good picture and falls within the parameters of the chalenge it will score well.

I wonder with this "faceless" challenge.... you aren't supposed to see the subjects face but what about the back of the head..as long as you aren't getting the front of the body? Would that qualify? I would like to know before I enter this one.
