Well although the November 'Sweet and Sour' side challenge had far fewer participants than the other side challenges in the month, those who did take part seem to have enjoyed it so there will be another 7 day side challenge in December

There is no set theme for the month but the 'rules' (together with a bit of reasoning) are

1. Challenge will be for 7 days only and will start...well anytime you want it to within Deecmber...for one person it could be the 1st to the 7th for another the 23rd to the 30th. Just what suits you best, it does not even matter if the days are not consecutive

OK the reason for this is that I know that the 30/1 day challenges are a bit much for some people. Not all challenges have to be about endurance and I want this one to be fun and never a hassle for people who also have work, family etc commitments outside DPC. Of course if people want to they could do two three or even four Sweet and Sour seven day challenges in the month

2. You can comment on as many or as few pictures as you like but for each picture you should leave at least one positive comment AND one constructive comment where you think the shot could be improved or what you dont like about it (These are the sweet and sour elements of the challenge)

I love getting some of the comments I have received doing side challenges, they are invariably positive and encouraging...BUT...the fact that I still have only got one six in a 'real' challenge suggests perhaps that they are being too kind. My thought here was by having to leave at least one positive and negative comment about a shot people will not only gain encouragement but also some very useful ideas as to how they could improved their shots. Just for the record, I had not even got 1 six when the november side challenge started so perhaps the constructive criticism really does help

3. No restrictions on editing etc, do as much or as little as you like. Just enjoy it

Again there is no need to sign up if you dont want to, just pop in and join the fun.. If you do want to sign up then feel free (man this side challenge is Sooooooo liberal)

If you want to check out what went (and continues to go) on in November then this this the thread...Nov Sweet and Sour

Jon - I am in again - it's fun to comment when I know people want to hear both the positives and the area for improvement.
