Im personally having some problems with the current "Cloud" challenge. It seems that most photos i take seem to have the actual sky as a main subject instead of an individual cloud, do you think this would be counted as not sticking to the subject or is the sky such a large part of a "cloud" photo that it does not matter?
Some feedback would be greatly appreciated

I don't think anyone would be upset with too much sky as long as there were some clouds at least. That'd be a bit tough.

My problem is it's been a flat gray mat all week. No sign of the border of any cloud anywhere. Just white/gray nothingness. And now back at work so it gets dark before I get home and that's that, another challenge I cannot enter.

ah yes, but it's a perfect opportunity to shoot for outdoor night portrait. :)

thank you for the help bohemka, shame about the clouds for you, maybe you can conjure something up with fog? since it is after all a form of cloud =)

Got a flashlight? Paint with light! It's a very interesting way to work. It's what I'd be doing if I hadn't already put some awesome clouds in the vault.

True, Bear, but I fear that would come out looking quite elementary in execution. If the clouds competition were at least advanced I could maybe work with and pull some definition out of the flat gray, but I suppose that's the point. You either got 'em or you don't.
