I'm sure you can! Use your imagination.
The garden here is covered by knee-deep snow, sooo... I guess it will be Dance for me (but where the hell do I find a dancer here in no-mans-land...) |

Winter in northern hemisphere may save some people from a mistake here. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how many flower macros show up, presumably from people who only read the name of the challenge and skip the detail description (emphasis added): "Simple enough -- compose a photograph somehow related to the garden. Here's the catch... the main subject of your photograph may NOT be a flower."
That last part is past the length limit for the abbreviated description on the main page, so this may be a romp in the park (garden?) for the DNMC police.

I remember some time ago  Scalvert stating something to the effect that he viewed challenge descriptions as being largely irrelevant, and not something that submitters should feel they have to necessarily take into account.... (may have been a discussion about a wildlife challenge, but may have misremembered). It seems to me that if there is a description attached to the challenge title that should be used as setting the parameters - but there are plenty that disagree, and so I dare say we will see flowers finishing in the top half! |

Well, it doesn't say there can't be flowers in the shot, just that it shouldn't be the main subject. ;P |

| Oh this is going to be fun considering it's the dead of winter here and everything is still under 2 feet of snow. |

Well I have a great shot for in the garden (even though it is winter)! Too bad I took it back during our first snow of the season.

That's my point exactly! What I find troubling with that photo is that it's taken with a point and shoot... I can't remember last time a girl took of her pants on a shoot I did with a point and shoot... I thought that was the reason we bought bigass f/2.8 zoom lenses...
ETA:... looks like it was a photo of herself... You females and your damned advantages...

| I could probably get some decent winter shots of the garden at the Meeting House, but ummmmm - fractured legs and walking through two feet of snow really don't mix well. I learned that trying to get the shot for my constructed by man entry. |

Fractured legs??????? Did you fall while out shooting "constructed by man" Both legs????? I hope you're doing well.
My MIL slipped on the ice and fell last week; breaking her hip and hand. She's doing ok. |

| No just one leg is fractured, but I found out trying to hobble around in the snow while one has a fractured leg is a bad idea. I'd like to do dance, but I just don't have time to locate models and find a place to shoot. |

Challenge just says to take of photo somehow related to a garden. It doesn't say it has to be of a garden or an insect. I suppose even a photo of dirt would qualify although I doubt it would go over well; maybe if it was done in HDR and Topaz that would help... see my (LOW scoring) photos for reference :) |

Topaz in basic editing? Didn't know that was allowed. Besides it's supposed to be a photography challenge not a "luk it my kool filtaz!!!1" challenge :p I just seem to be lacking any *creative* ideas whatsoever. I'm probably not "talented" enough to try for the brown ribbon either... Is there a beige? lol |

The description says "may not contain a flower" do I assume that it is mean't to be interpreted as "must not contain a flower"
As it stands it can be interpreted as; when I look through the pictures in this category some of them may not contain flowers whereas some may. |

Read again, Will. It doesn't say that it may not contain a flower, it says that
"Simple enough -- compose a photograph somehow related to .. [more] the garden. Here's the catch... the main subject of your photograph may NOT be a flower."
Main subject can't be a flower. The shot can contain a flower.
