Creatively document the act of doing a good deed.
Make full use of your signature style to document a Good Samaritan paying it forward.

| Can we skip the 'creatively' part - I do sometimes feel the inclusion of that word sometimes results in good photographs being passed over for whacky ones with considerably less photographic merit. I can imagine some really good street photography, or true documentary style photograph illustrating the concept extremely well, but wouldn't fall under the remit of doing so creatively. It seems to favour set-up shots at the expense of other established genres. |

wow. you are disturbing the fabric here. I agree with you wholeheartedly but you will get an earful from the (1) people who think the only good shot it a contrived/ set up shot. and (2) the "don't tell me how to vote, or even point out patterns in voting" crowd.
That being said, it is an expert challenge, so the effort of making something "fantasy" is valued out of proportion with good- subtle style photography. |

Good suggestions. I changed it. Though 'creatively' to me means try stepping outside your comfort zone & get creative. It doesn't mean invent a fantasy out of whole cloth. But, oh well.

There is something creative, or imaginative, about doing a good deed. It often presents an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone or daily routine & think of someone else, possibly a stranger. To recognize others, whom you do not know, in the act of a good deed, also often requires imagination, or at least a bit of empathy.
Always remember, no good deed goes unpunished.
