		| | I'm looking forward to this challenge, especially since its Minimal Editing. My PS skills suck...and despite rummaging online quite a bit, I've never got the hang of it...

		| | I think this will be quite a challenge!  It is really going to test the technical skill of the photographer, as potentially quite tricky exposure is going to have to be absolutely nailed in-camera. |

		| | I have some great ideas for this challenge but I don't know if I can pull them off with minimal editing. Basic no problem but minimal will be tough. It will be interesting to see what people can come up. |

		| | ouch!!! Minimal!?! There's absolutely no way I can be successful at this! I couldn't even do it with basic editing! 
 It will be fun to try. :D

 In a minimal editing challenge, it's going to hard to produce an image of a subject of a lighter color than white ;)

 I had to go back and re-read the challenge rules. I had missed that before. Had I been a member for this challenge, I totally would have shot in RAW.

		| | Also note when viewing the Previous Light on White challenges for inspiration...(see OP) 
 I & II were basic editing
 III & IV were advanced editing
 
 AS mentioned....this one is minimal editing!  I might have to give this a go!

		| | Personally, I thought mine was the only one that was NOT DNMC! I mean, really. Everyone else did pale on white. I actually did light on white!

 I tried that too, back in 2005.
 
 
   
 I would have a hard time with that shot today since most exterior lamps now have those ugly, spiral fluorescent bulbs.  8(

 Actually, I think that is quite clever and I wouldn't vote it down as DNMC.  I was just joking anyway and making fun of the slight mess up of wording of the challenge description.  I don't really take challenge descriptions to literal extremes.

 I got less than happy results from the multiple light source challenge with a similar take. Humor is not always welcome it seems.

 Yep - very few challenges have used minimal editing.  This is going to be a very good lighting challenge.

		| | I actually have a shot that I am happy with for this...it took quite a bit of work to get the lighting right.  It is fun when you accomplish the goal.  I can't imagine it will score crazy high, but I like the shot so enter I will.... |

 I've actually been looking forward to a minimal challenge, but I agree that light on white at first sounds like a lighting challenge. Since I have no light set up, and it's not winter, Im struggling to think of where I can find light on white in the natural world around me where I can just click the shutter and make it work.

 My recommendations for this type of challenge is a light box.  All you need is cardboard box, some white paper, a few lamps or lights with similar power, and off you go.

 Me too, but I did my "Light On White" back in December 2009. Didn't fare well, but that was also two cameras back with a lot less experience. LOL.
