Would it be within the rules if a container was used in this challenge to hold water or something else and could be seen in the photo.

Can I put a little fish in the photo too. Kinda scared that might get my DQd.

Maybe a Gold Fish cracker or summin.

Thanks for the April Fool's "challenge". I had to laugh how specific this one is. A real hoot!

I think I'll stick with my original ducky photos:

so, are we allowed more than just what's mentioned in the challenge description, or is it limited to JUST ducky, water and 5 grapes?

You must have the required elements, including exactly one rubber ducky, exactly 5 green grapes, a blue background, at least 3 light sources and an aperture between f/6 and f/10.

You may include other items if you wish.

just wanted to clarify... i know its April 1 and all that, but we are taking this challenge seriously, aren't we? it seems such a good challenge, someone must have had fun writing it.

Just a question - I've got something in mind for this challenge (though I don't think I'll get the time to buy grapes before 3pm tomorrow - so it might not eventuate, and I'll also concede that I'm a little suspicious as to whether the april fools joke involves more than just a ridiculous challenge).... but just wondering how voters/sc will be able to tell that three light sources were used ?
