and 'feats of engineering'

'after dark, no flash' may not be fair to people w/o appropriate equipment... I know that there will always be people with better cameras but we should be mindful of topics that may make it very difficult for EVERYONE alike to get the photo

I do not like the topic 'open'... I like to see some direction, even is only somewhat vague

ying/yang (dark and light)
fashion
body parts
etc, etc,...
so many topics... so little time

3. I'd love to see

A theme that poses a challenge for both the photographer and the audience.

Chiaroscuro

Chiaroscuro in art is "an Italian term which literally means 'light-dark'. In paintings the description refers to clear tonal contrasts which are often used to suggest the volume and modelling of the subjects depicted".

8. Dear rdking657 - are you overwhelmed yet?

I was going to say: I'm not adding a damn thing to this awesome and varied lineup, but as I type I remember the one I suggested last month that was almost popular: "A Surprising Sight".
