I would love to see a challenge on RISK. RISK as a concept. What do you think?

Conquer Australia, then sit there and breed armies until you can spread all over Asia within a couple of turns. After that, it's only a matter of time.

The description could be as follows "Take a photo of something that conveys the concept of RISK. Risk is considered as an indicator of threat, or depends on threats, vulnerability, negative impact and uncertainty. Take a photo, which clearly conveys the message "Expect the Unexpected" in our uncertain times"

I totally agree :))

I had in mind the photos which convey RISK concept universally enough, to serve as a motivational posters. RISK is a very well selling concept right now, so it could be an opportunity for additional income from DPCPrints as well ;)

PS I would suggest to make it Advanced Editing.

Yes, it is in Russia. It's a peninsula north of Japan. It has fantastic scenery, several volcanoes and abundant wildlife. It would be a great place for a photographic expedition. It would also be risky because of the remoteness and wildness.

Yep, I flew over it once on my way to the thriving Siberian metropolis of Magadan.

Ooops, Sorry

Rennie didn't see your plea to stay on topic until too late.

I like it. Your description is good; for brevity's sake maybe I'd say:

Take a photo of something that conveys the concept of risk. Risk can be defined as an indicator of threat, vulnerability, uncertainty, or potential vulnerability.

Take a picture of something or some place, without dangering yourself or others, that represents "Risk" taken but no conclusion of either good or bad.

I think that the working without a net challenge said this "Show us your interpretation of somebody or something working without a net, placing themselves at risk. This might include physical, emotional, or mental feats without a fallback option". Would this be the same?

I have in mind something more general. Risk as the threat. Uncertainity. Working without a net is only an example and it's very limited. I think rather of pictures like this:

There was also one picture with the mountain goat at the very edge of great canyon. The Photographer took it away (I remember the surname - McAlister). It was the ideal example of the RISK theme.

One of my team mates was just sharing a comment he got about his rainbow shot and how he should have gotten a different angle which would have made him go out into tornado weather, he felt the image was fine the way it was...lol

Out of that conversataion I replied with a list of challenges that fits this thread.

1. Shots to die for
2. Shots died for (minimal or no editing for obivious reasons)
3. Hey watch this (for red necks only)
4. I really miss that Photgrapher (for people with enough money to pay others to take that dangerous shot)

sorry spelling

A little more back on topic, risk would be an interesting challenge that is very hard to effectively capture. I also think it will drive the voters wild....
