How about a Challenge where the object is to illustrate a particular color - such as BLACK? You could require that submissions use color (i.e. not monochrome). Subjects could connote BLACK not only in terms of color, but in terms of emotion, (sadness, despair, etc).

A challenge would be to take a photograph that unmistakably connotes BLACK, but that is also original and creative.

Have a look at this one:

I like this idea... and since I missed this one would be happy to see another on a different colour but perhaps those who participated in this one won't want another similar one so soon?

PS How do I post that as a link?

I like the idea, but maybe it should be 'Black in a colored picture' don't you think ? Otherwise you cannot miss with a black and white picture.

Well, great minds ... I guess I should have checked the archives! Maybe someone who participated in the Red Challenge might like to give an opinion about a different color challenge?

Thanks, I just figured it out yesterday :)

But then I wanted to edit a post to put in a link, I had to click as though I was adding a new post, insert the link, copy it, cancel the post and then go back and edit the old post and paste it in.

EEK!
