Try not to be too obvious.

A free study for me. I'm there.

Great idea. And any image not obviously subtle, a 1 and a DNMC!
Uhh, wait...

I think Captain Kirk once used such logic to make an android self destruct.

I think I remember that episode, and something similar from Isaac Asimov too :)
In reality, I would find the challenge theme quite interesting, subtlety is indeed a subtly relative concept..

Interesting.

Anyone have any clue what this is about?

Clearly, subtlety isn't exactly my normal strong suit.

Well, that was as illuminating as a 1/4 watt bulb.
05/20/2013 01:36:07 AM · #10
Which just might meet the challenge.

A subtle free study HA

subtlety?
ah,thats my middle name

If it's meant to be subtle, shouldn't it be Minimal? Almost every challenge is Advanced nowadays.

I'm Paranoid that mine won't be Subtle.

That puts me a tad ahead of you, since I suffer from a realtively Subtle form of Paranoia :-)

Most people wouldn't know subtlety if it came up and bit them on the ass! (oh, no- sorry- that would be sensuality)

anyone care to post some 'subtle' pictures?

I'd love to see some examples from previous challenges that ya'll think would do fine here.

Do you guys find these subtle? I picked a few from my favorites that I think might?? maybe?? be subtle?

Now, this is subtle...
05/20/2013 01:53:21 PM · #21
I dunno, that may be more Paranoid ;-)

Now that wasn't very subtle :)

Ps. This is what you get if you do an image search for subtlety
