[QUOTE="hark, post: 404208, member: 13196"] I understand the difficulties of running the monthly assignment with the responsibility for all the mods to narrow down the finalists. Here is my own opinion on doing it differently: instead of running an assignment where winners (and subsequently losers) are chosen, why not turn it into more of an educational challenge? Rather than selecting a topic such as [I]Bridges[/I] or [I]Low Light[/I], why not incorporate some type of a learning tool? One month might be [I]Using Leading Lines[/I]. Another might be [I]Framing[/I] or [I]Compression with Telephoto Lenses[/I]. By highlighting techniques rather than a tangible subject, the members get pushed to focus on their skills. No winners need to be selected. How topics get chosen can be left to the mods. Or a list can be made up from suggestions. And with each submission, the member must explain how he/she executed the shot. That will help newer photographers to learn, too. [/QUOTE]
