Can't find a thing that I think DPCers will like.

It's a bummer because I have a slow week comingy up and I could use an update button to keep me occupied.

I asked everybody at work what they would cheat on...they had some good ideas but its hard to come up with a good picture...

I'm almost tempted not to enter to avoid voting on images of tax forms and the like...

I didn't even ask anyone, I guess I have no imagination when it comes to this one. The only thing that came close was watching our son play Yatzee with dad and just tilting that dice when dad wasn't watching but it was too lame so didn't even bother to try.

Good luck picturing that (for all to understand...)

I thought of a good shot today...very simple...shows cheating and is easy to setup the shot. Just wondering if the "photo" will be worthy.

Just entered mine. I think I have a good idea, but I'll just wait and see what do the others think of my submission. Oh, and another thing - there is one whole day left for me to look at it. The last two challenges I entered I did shooting on Sunday/Tuesday evening, had whole 10 minutes to work on it, and it sure sucked when I looked at it tomorrow.

Well, if there are no more than 100 entries, I can hope for the top 50 finish!

Good Luck to you!!! I hope you do well .. at least you came up with an idea you thought worth photographing!!!!

I also took the rules of the contest as "trying to decieve the viewer into thinking that you somehow made the photo illegally" Or retouched it out of the rules when it really is legal? does that make any sense? An example would be Scalverts or Graphicfunks illusions? Thats how I was taking it, but that actually may be voted down too? I guess to combine the 2 would be a good start.

Thanks! But, the idea is provocative, and might polarize voters. I think that the theme will weigh in more than usual and push the technicals down somewhat. We'll see...

Show someone or something that clearly isn't playing by the rules.

With that in mind, what if has something in the image that clearly isn't conforming to the rules of gravity? Maybe it looks like an illusion or the image is tampered with? Would it be acceptable for the challenge?

You all inspired me to photograph my idea. I'm please with it. Now we'll see what the voters say. Low numbers of entries have been kind to me in the past. Enjoy!

Less than 24 hours to go, 44 entries in. I can't recall ever having seen a challenge be so lightly subscribed so close to the deadline. Come on people, get out there and CHEAT! Break a compositional rule, rob the kids' piggy banks, fake an illegal edit, DO something! Release your larcenous alter ego!
