Take your best photo of a child or children (no adults in the photo).

I should say not Parrothead.. lol

I wouldn't have a tough time either.. I'm all for this challenge!!! Finally one where I can submit a shot of a subject I love without worrying about the "I hate children" vote.

Wonder how many dogs we'd get, with the statement "But he's my BABY!"?

He did specify no adults in the photo.. which would eliminate 18+..

however, there's the whole .. are teenagers children? debate thing.

so.. yah.. birth to 12 years maybe?

I think if it's specified "no adults" then the photographer would take his/her own chance at deciding what the viewers will consider adult. Once you get into the 12+ range, you can find some very adult-looking "kids." Actually, even younger any more, and that's a shame, imo.

I don't think anything beyond "no adults" needs to be specified.

Ah, good point, Pochard. I stand corrected...

The top 5 entries will obviously have to submit their original photo for exif data validation ....

And the child/children's birth certificates for age validation ;)

In the UK, there's currently a lot of controversy over the tendency for innocent photographers to get locked up in a cell over night and have their photographic and computer equipment confiscated for a few weeks while the police run searches for illegal images. This can happen when any photographer points their camera at someone else's kid in a public place. The general advice on this subject in the UK seems to be not to take photos of other people's children. I think this is a dangerous challenge subject for those of us without children.

Yeah, Bobster, I was thinking just that. Not a good challenge for the mature members such as I who lack grandchildren to serve as quasi-willing subjects. I'm unlikely to be in this one. UNless I can submit a sonograph? But no, I didn't TAKE that...

Run this challenge again anytime after 3 months from now, folks. Thanx.

I don't want to hijack the thread, so I'll take my thoughts over here: //www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=159688

Not a good challenge idea in my opinion.

I have trouble getting my kids (17,16 and 10) anywhere in front of a lens, and RobsterLobster has pointed out the pitfalls of 'candid' photography in the UK.

Ask a friend to borrow theirs for a day. I do it all the time. Most parents are more than willing to get rid of their kids for a while if they know and trust you. Some don't even need those requirements.
