[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 545401, member: 9240"] No, it was a fair question to ask given what folks are doing here, which I should have at least acknowledged up front. As for challenge topics, the guy who runs the place chooses them with input from site members (there's a section where you can make challenge suggestions) and the [I]Site Council[/I] (a group of long time members that act as moderators and also enforcers of the editing rules (a [I]serious[/I] thing and one open for much debate at times). In choosing topics they try not to repeat something that's been done in the last couple years, and when you consider that there are 3 challenges a week/40 challenges a year that's a daunting task. Some of them aren't all that exciting, others offer almost no inspiration to go out and shoot for them, while others bring in people by the droves. The nice thing is that they archive all the results since day one - that's 2241 challenges as of this morning - with topics and all submitted photos. So, when you see a topic like [B]Pi III[/B], and you really don't know what the heck to shoot, you can go back and look at [B]Pi[/B] and [B]Pi II[/B] for a little inspiration. [/QUOTE]
