I can really relate to this. Challenges truly leave me scratching my head, and I apparently have no means to execute their theme into any kind of original photograph. Probably why I've stopped entering them completely. I'm clueless. Not that I think I'm creatively handicapped, or that I'm a crap photographer, but it seems that the restraint of the challenge theme leaves me atrophied beyond all hope. I think this is just a variation of Gordon's observation that many people seem to stop before even trying, that the game is up due to a glut of excuses, though I'm much better at simply taking pictures of stuff that's personally interesting, even if it's meaningless to most everyone else. To wit:

All right I am way too blonde to be able to put an image in. I clicked the image thing, then pasted the url and it still didnt work. so will have to put a thumb nail in as I know how to do that.

Not much to critique on yours, I really like it. I love the angle that you got it from, the colours are soft and inviting.
For someone that claims to have photographic block, you are pretty darn good! |

I like your photo a lot. I like how the flowers are aligned vertically and the way they stand out. Did you use flash? |
