A Is For _______ · Advanced Editing
Photograph any subject that begins with the letter "A" -- titles may include the name of the subject.
I believe that technically "Amazing kitten" or "Adorable baby" DNMC because the subject is the kitten and the baby. Plus both "amazing" and "adorable" are purely subjective... am I right?

This is an important distinction. Adjectives are NOT subjects. I'd hope that people will be creative finding subjects that start with A, and not just go with "adorable", and put whatever cute thing they want in there.
Nouns, that's what I'll be looking for.

Isn't it supposed to be a mess? lol.
These are CHALLENGES for a reason. So challenge yourself (royal "your" not you specifically).
Find a SUBJECT that starts with A. Use a subject that doesn't, and throw an adjective in there to make it fit, and boy, I see a lot of 1s coming :D

But, but, but....kittens, puppies, and babies are all Adorable - right? :-)
All kidding aside; if we had a challenge (and there's been some probably similar) that was challenge subject (Adorable), and description (capture a photo that epitomizes the term Adorable) - the subject would then be 'Adorable', yes?
This challenge 'A is for _____' could easily read 'A is for Adorable'.
And no, I don't have a kitten, puppy, or baby that is on my photography short list. :-) |

Hrm. I guess I have to concede that point. However, to me, basic sentence structure begs for that sentence to end with a noun. I mean, you CAN use an adjective there, but it seems incomplete. A is for adorable... what? Well, fill in the blank. Here's a Free Study. lol.
But, you make your point. Instead of 1s, I'll just reward the people that use nouns more than adjectives ;D

So, let's hypothesize a DPC member living on the Gulf of Mexico and photographing the effect of the recent wellhead explosion/contamination; seabirds coated with crude oil struggling on an oil-soaked beach. The caption is "Appalling".
DNMC or not?
"Appalling" is an adjective, not a noun... But it seems to me this is perfectly legitimate...
Now I'd hate to see 100 "adorable" shots of puppydogs and babies, but I can't see dinging 'em just because "adorable" isn't a noun.

Bold emphasis above added by me.
Well, I see your error - you forgot to capitalize the 'A' in adorable. That makes it more important, right? :-P
Verbs, nouns, adverbs, adjectives - blah, blah, blah. Wait! That blah, blah, blah is what I heard in English class years ago. Never could figure all of those out (ask my wife - she's my grammar coach). :-D |

Hate to agree, but you're right...
A is for _______
Adorable is valid
Anemone is valid
Alabaster is valid
Abstract is valid.

I'd vote lower, yes. Because it's taking an event and making it fit, instead of finding something TO fit. Just my personal designation.

"Photograph any subject that begins with the letter "A" .. [more] -- titles may include the name of the subject."
There is a different between an "adorable puppy" and a "hideous ugly chinese crested puppy" -- thus I will agree that "adorable puppy" would be valid. So the OP is right, it's a free study for the most part.
It also doesn't specify the English language :) |

"Another Waterdrop" :-)
I expect some push-back on the "nouns only" criterion, actually. While that is accurate for a sentence, the subject of a photograph can be something other than the noun-nameable objects within the image: emotions, moods, attributes (anger, apathy, annoy, angry, apathetic, annoyance, annoying, assinine, asymmetric, abstract--etc.)
Shoehorned entries with only titles to support them will be pretty obvious, I imagine. |

Enter a stern looking self-portrait entitled "Adamant!" (but not Adam Ant--that would just be sad) |
