I disagree, it's very open and photos in this theme will be different, original and there can be a great effect when shadow is used well.

However, I thought the previous theme ("Sunrise over sea") was a bad challenge in that all the photos looked the same and it was hard (if impossible) for me to submit a photo for the contest as I was nowhere near the sea nor could I think of how I could execute it in any other way.

So it takes how long to get the nominees up? I'm anxious to see everyones images.

This is a challenge that makes one use their creativity. I don't think it is a bad challenge, rather one that deserves alittle thought.
And besides it wouldn't be a challenge if it were easy.

In way I didn't think shadow and light was too hard, since if light is shining on something there will also be a shadow

Last month was my first, and there were quite a few more entries than in the previous month. So, it took a few days from the last of the month for them to be posted for review and voting. I suspect that this month generated quite a few submissions. From whenever Dana can get them organised and posted, we'll have a week for reviewing and voting. I can't imagine that it's an easy process to organise and get them up for viewing.

I agree, depending on the number of images I'm sure its a painstaking process. :hail:

I remember the month we had 81 entries. Talk about a week of holding your breath waiting for the submissions..
I give it up to Dana for taking up the job! Talk about a pain in the butt! But Dana is doing a great job!
