Answer the riddle first, get a Crit!

OK here's a new twist on the crit begging process:

Post a riddle. A solveable, but not too easy one. The first person who answers your riddle correctly receives a crit from you, on a photo of your choice.

Anyone can play, but it would be nice if people who answer then post a riddle, to keep the good Karma thing going. Get a little, give a little...

So, to start - a pretty easy one.

How can you throw a ball so that it stops and comes straight back to you, without it rebounding off of any surface?

My riddle...
"What asks no questions but demands an answer?"

I will leave a critique on any photo you'd like, Matt, and then whoever answers my riddle leaves me a critique, and asks another riddle. I think that's how it works, anyway. I could be wrong...it wouldn't be the first time. Today, even. ;)

Laurie, based on your work vs. mine, I don't think I'm qualified to critique your work, it would be like Picaso's house painter telling the artist what colors to use.

If you don't mind, just make a comment on my Seeds entry, thanks. It has to do with

Awww thanks...that's sweet of you to say...but I think you're perfectly qualified to say things about anyone's work here. You have great images and you certainly can say what you like or don't like about a picture. Don't sell yourself short!!!

Also...we aren't supposed to reveal which entries are ours in any way. It's a no-no. Also, since Seeds isn't in the voting phase, I can't critique it yet anyway. Any other shot you'd like a comment on?

Yes, Mainstreet Buford, almost finished dead last. I'm a big boy, I can take it.

Well, it's not the answer that was on the riddle but that surely does fit. I guess I'll take it. ;) Let me know what pic you want critiqued.

Sorry I had all that backwards. I'm not as smart as I think I am sometimes. ;)
