Challenge Guidelines

  • Only submit ONE photo per person.
  • You do NOT need to submit a model release, as the photos here are not for sale.

Note: If you already have a photo for this theme and you think it might make a good stock shot, you can submit it. But I think you’ll miss out on the opportunity to improve if you don’t go out and take new photos for this Challenge.
