| Would a representation of air (such as neon) count? If not, I have another idea. :) |

Some people would say it would, but others may not. Some people will take a quick look and say "it's a neon sign, I don't get it " and give you a low score.
The people that would understand it may give you a higher score, but usually those are few. |

Neon is an elemental gas. Air is a mixture of gases, of which, neon is a very, very small part. You are free to do as you wish, but neon is not air.

LOL! OK, I still don't get the cat thread but that's ok. Personally, I like dogs more but I digress.
As far as I see it, neon is still a gas and the title is elements. And you are right, Spazmo99, neon is an element. I decided not to use my neon sign pictures anyway since they didn't turn out as I thought they would.
Here is one of several I took last night:

Feel free to leave comments both good, bad and downright nasty. Well, maybe not downright nasty but I'm interested in what y'all think. Thanks! |

| I don't think the challenge calls for actual chemical elements. I think it's earth, wind, fire, and water, and that's it. Air is not wind. Wind is moving air. It's pretty hard to take a photo of wind. You can only take a photo of the effects of wind. I think we're going to get a lot of fire and water. |

The idea is to use the four classical "elements" of antiquity (like the ancient Greeks): Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. Some considered there to be a "fifth element" called the aether -- it was the insubstantial matter which permeates everything else (and a wacky movie with Bruce Willis).
These do not refer to the actual chemical elements as we know them today. |

Funny thing about neon signs is that most of them aren't neon anymore.

yeah, and i agree with that the element is wind, not air so much. Although air is blown by the wind, but so is dust, and feathers....
so a neon sign... not so much wind no... not unless it was being blown...

You're right on that one. Well, the white color is actually neon. The other colors are mixtures of neon and argon and whatever else. |
