I've been thinking about this and I have a solution for it........ now need to find some time to fit it all in

Great idea and a well thought out challenge! definately up for it.
Well done Paul and Mello, and thanks.

Another new improvement has been made and is to compliment the new Freeze options. When you now freeze any of the criteria, [F] will be appended to the selection.

This will allow members to see what parts of the challenge were selective.

Please see attached screenshot.

Now that's not very nice is it Paul? now everyone can see if were cheating by freezing bits we like cus it's snowing or raining outside (you know who you are!!!!)....HAHA...

I am admitting defeat (for the moment) in my first chosen PP. What I had planned is just not happening so will have to think again. In the mean time I'll choose another to think about

Thanks for this though as it's really making me think about using my camera in a different way.

I'm happy even though I am restricted in my choices through only having one lens. There's plenty of choice in the random chooser thingy for me to be going along with.

Anne, I had the same experience at first...like a mental block. But then I just allowed myself time to think about it and experimented a bit, and then the ideas started flowing. I still need to work at it, but have lots of choices as you said.
Don't feel restricted at all with your one lens, just play with what you've got and experiment.
Also, upload something, even if you aren't completely happy with it, and someone will help you with critiquing to get the results you were looking for.
Good luck and have fun!

hmmmm....very interesting.... camera's just been sent to the menders.... will have to think on this and hopefully it'll all sink in by the time i get it back...
brilliantly thought out and executed, so credit to you both, Paul and Steve.

Thanks Debbie.
I don't feel restricted really as there's more than enough to keep my tiny bit of grey matter working overtime

I will struggle on and get something posted though. To choose another actually took some pressure off as I wasn't constantly thinking of one project.

looks like a really good idea that will get people involved with the site, nice to see it makes you take pictures not just upload them becasue you have them from old.

Paul

May seem a silly question but:

Is the idea to choose a selection from each criteria to make up a PP or do you take what's given
