I think pictures of people jumping would be a good challenge. Or maybe just pictures of people in the air (could be shots of people running when their feet are both off the ground, or pictures of people falling, etc.) Perhaps even a more general category is things in the air that don't normally fly.

I'd like to see challenges of specific emotions. Frustration/Eureka!/Aware/Tired/Sad are possibilities. I think this is a good abstract category. The pictures, of course, don't have to be of people, they can be of things that make you feel whatever emotion it is that the challenge is about.

Specific colors or shapes would be great too. Look around you, the material objects in your life are almost all made out of rectangles and ellipses. Your house is a box, your rooms are boxes, your software comes in boxes, your monitor and computer are boxes, etc. Your dishes are circular, many of the boxes you see have rounded corners, your dining table is elliptical, your lampshades are conic, your cds are circles. An interesting challenge would be pictures of manmade objects without ellpises or rectangles in them. Other interesting challenges would be to see just how many elliptical or rectangular shapes you can get into a picture.

I love the idea of water. It would need to be made clear that this doesn't just mean natural bodies of water, as some people are likely to assume.

How about a fire challenge to complement a water challenge?

I think shadows would make a great challenge. If you just look around, you can find or make some really great shadows.

Thanks for your input!

These have not gone un-seen. I'm compiling a list now, and we're going to go over them and get them into the database.

Feel free to post any more ideas you have.
