So... should we all title ours the challenge topic? Or what?

And here I was thinking that I would understand this challenge after reading this thread.
Now, i'm more confused than ever.

How do you answer the question "Yes?" How do you answer the question "No?" If I walk up to you and say "Yes?" you would probably say "What?"
Then I decided that the photograph should answer the kind of question that could have a yes or no answer. Not that many questions are satisfied with a yes or no answer. That's probably why I got a logic headache.
So, I'm going to take a photo of a yes or no answer. You can, too. Take the question "Did the sun rise today?" Your yes answer could be a photo of a beautiful sunrise. Your no answer could be a photo of the end of life as we know it on this planet. And so on. |
i love the mental gymnastics! hopefully the voters will also find this "fun" and be a little more gracious ... give a little "extra credit" for the effort (yeah, right, esp with an Open Challenge!)

| I solved this puzzle by coming up with a shot that makes one ask the question by reading expression of subjects and then the answer becomes clear when the question is asked....shoot, now I'm confuzzled too! |

There's a picture that both asks and answers a question!!
That's what we need. One picture that asks the question, then a follow up picture posted in the comments that gives the answer.

lol. when i first suggested this challenge the intent was to have the image ask the question with NO title.
i guess underlining it in my description wasn't strong enough :-/ .
how you are supposed to title it and not give it away is beyond me.

That's two different things, and two different photos.
Back to peeing on a stick. If the photo answered the question, the stick tells you she's pregnant. If the photo asked the question, you don't know the result, and there's something to guess.
Usually I can get some sort of twisted understanding of any challenge on here -- but I can't figure out if the photo asks the question or answers it. If it answers it, what fun is it to guess the answer?

i gave up trying to parse the description, and decided to just go with something that could be taken as a Yes/No question OR answer... and i tried to make it an interesting and "good" photo as a fallback! pretty much wanted to cover all my bases! ;-)

You're learning!
See, that wasn't so hard.
I'm just going to find a question and answer it. Heh Heh.

Just to be clear, the title cannot be the question?
The image must convey cleverly what the question would be?
Thats a lot of inferring that has to be done. |

If the image can't convey either or, then it's probably not a good photo. I'm sure some entrants will be overly clever to their detriment.
Just remember this is DPC, if it doesn't meet the challenge the vast majority don't care, so everything will be fine. |
