| If this challenge goes, I am buying stock in companies that manufacture neutral density filters... cause everyone's gonna need one! |

I was thinking along the same lines. Think a 100x is dark enough? Maybe a piece of welder's glass.

no, not enough. Ben is using 1000x, almost lens cap density :)
ETA: add my vote to the tally!

Brilliant idea! He has a certain style that is very recognisable and I think judging wouldn't be too hard.
ETA: A few in my fav's list -

practice makes perfect....just a hell of a job finding willing volunteers...
i'd like to add my name to the list of "agree" with this idea for a challenge. |

Yeah, this Challenge would blow away the "that's not sharp" folks, for sure.
Lovely photography in his portfolio,
But - there's always a but -
Why does his user name always remind me of caviar, or expensive fish fillets.
You know, like this guy (yeah, I know it's a tuna, so let's just call it a sturgeon)

| I'm a cheap date, no need for cavier. BTW, don't forget "like a spurgeon, touched for the very first time". |

"Actually, that's a Grouper, or a large sea bass of some sort." Bear said, pedantically... But I always have the same thought: Ben's a very large, prehistoric model of fish with cartilage instead of bones and smelly eggs...

Good grief - you mean the fish market that sold me that "yellow fin tuna" head for $12.50 did me wrong? Alas. They even gave me cooking instructions which I did not follow.
Meanwhile, back at  bspurgeon (not sturgeon of fish fame). Yes, it would be a fine idea to do something in his style. but he gets to judge, not enter!

Geeze, you got took! That's a grouper. Here's a grouper in the aquarium, see the resemblance?
THIS, on the other hand, is a Yellowfin Tuna, and it doesn't even resemble a grouper:
Here's an aquarium stock photo of the tuna from a more similar angle:
See the difference in the mouths?
Now, back to our interrupted cartilaginous fish programming.

| YAY, we get to play like Ben this week. This will be fun, fun, fun. I may even charge my batteries and stick a card in the camera for this one. |
