Ok, let's try one challenge where we give up the eye candy (not a bad thing) and dig in a bit deeper.

Challenge: Social Issues
Description: Shed some light on a relevant and current social issue. While relevant and current homelessness is overdone. Be creative

Special Rule: Photos portraying homelessness will result in a DQ.

I'd go for that. Would you include unemployment, the homeless and so on as part of this challenge?

Definitely... I think the issues should be up to the photographer to recognize.

Maybe just for a change, we could rule out homeless people. They get harassed enough as 'easy' street photography subjects as it is.

I would agree. while i do enjoy some good homeless shots sometimes, this would be an easy way out for too many people and lead to too much explotation IMO.

The challenge idea could be interesting

OK, I do agree with ya on that one... I added a special rule. Maybe it should be added in the description?
