This is my challenge suggestion: "The End"
As simple as that. Photograph the end. Interpretations would be left up to the photographer. I know that in challenges like this people tend to give a lot "doesn't meet the challenge" comments but challenges with such a broad spectrum, in my opinion, spark creativity. I like very specific challenges as well but one does get tired of looking at 200 pics of the same thing. Just my two cents.

A good suggestion. I think all challenges should be broad enough to avoid a literal tie to the definition. Yes some people fear the broad definition because it lacks specific direction, however, I can rattle off a list which although broad are still open to poetic and literal interpretation:
Primitive Shapes: The square, rectangle, triangle, cones, cylinders.
Take an image that incorporates any or all of the above as found in items around you.
The Wall: shoot an image that exhibits a dead end in understanding or in any endeavor.
U.O. unidentified object. Shoot an image wherein the viewer will experience a hard time to identify the subject.
Poetry in Motion...an image that displays harmony in movement.
Alchemy: make an interesting rendition of metallic and shinny surfaces.
Rough texture
Fine texture
Stairs.
Windows eyc, etc.

Agree it would be an interesting challenge with a wide variety of interpretation. Two such examples from Laurie's and GraphicFunk's portfolios.
End of life, End of match.

| How many moons would we see in this one? Could we please restrict the butt shots? Otherwise, I also think this is a great idea. |

Im all for it.
I like the lack of a definition. Perhaps all challenges should be that way! |

I don't agree. The challenge should be completely open. Besider, I think people like DrJOnes could come up with some really good butt shots :P

It's not as much of a challenge if it lacks definition.

do you have a ribbon winning idea for "Beginning"?, if so, we should just skip to the end...

Regarding challenges "lacking definition", as i see it there's two kinds of challenges; the ones where a very specific goal is set, and the ones that leave the interpretation wide open; that is, "literal" challenges vs "metaphorical" challenges. I see room for both, in here. I'm strongly inclined towards the metaphorical, myself, but that's just a personal preference.

Great idea, June! I'd love to see some challenges without accompanying descriptions. Note, I'm not campaigning for the abolition of all descriptions but just for variety...
I think conceptual challenge themes such as this one cry out for NO description and wide and creative interpretations...

No, I can never seem to finish Beginning, and I have just as much trouble starting the End. |
