"Double Take"

Has to be two of something, and similar.. in your image. Distinct and the focal subjects/points of your image/creation.

An aside on the note of "Focal Points":

"Using Focal Points in Photography"

(Small popup will appear on the above linked page, simply click on 'close' in the bottom right to continue onto the page.)

Here are some of the past suggestions that didn't make it to the finish line:

i) Photoshop Terms

"Find a creative way to illustrate Photoshop terms."

ii) High Contrast Black & White

iii) Rule of Thirds in Blue

"Compose your subject using the rule of thirds while using blue as your primary color."

(Tip of the hat to dpchallenge.com for this idea. Some photographic examples and creative food for thought ... found here.)

iv) Song title

iv) Passion in Red

v) Dutch Angle

"Some call it a Batman angle, oblique angle or German angle. This filmmaking tactic uses the tilt of the camera to set a mood of tension or emotional turmoil in the world of the subject being filmed."

vi) "Square Format"

Description:

"Many photographers started in medium format with a camera that shot 6x6 cm negatives. This square format could be cropped vertically or horizontally, depending on requirements.

However, many photographers realized that the square format created a unique challenge for composition as it broke the mold - so to speak - of the standard image ratio.

For this challenge, submit an image that works well in a square format."

vii) Contre-jour

"Contre-jour, French for 'against daylight', refers to photographs taken when the camera is pointing directly toward a source of light. An alternative term is backlighting."

This one is alllll.. about lighting, opening it up more for other genres of art besides that of photography.

viii) Fill the Frame

"Wall to wall only your subject."

Changed my mind..

... "Contre-jour" for me now:

At least with the above, aside from the technical challenges for photographers ... it will unify the images in the contest galleries.

Rather than.. trying to search for a unifying theme. Which, has been missing to a degree with some of the recent contests. Keeps everyone on the same creative page (more so).

I choose Aqua...the choices are endless!...

This is all same to me, I never get on time with my entry LOL
