How would you all like to have a theme one week a month? It would be somewhat like the Weekly Challenge except that an image would not have to meet the theme to be considered for the MP. I can think of a number of themes that might be fun and would encourage folks to perhaps try something out of their comfort zone or level of confidence. Some of the themes I thought of off the top of my head are SOA, DOA, frame filling, unflowers, backlight, supporting critters, etc. I'll post an example in a general discussion thread several weeks in advance so that everyone will have the chance to work the subject. Let me know if there is interest and if there is we'll start soon. Feel free to suggest other topics as well.

OK, what's "SOA" and "DOA"? :confused:

Colors, species, flowers in pairs, in threes, leaves, grass, tendrils, mushrooms, images of dead flowers... sure, I'd participate.

Bill, sounds like a great idea and a lot of fun. I'll give some more thought to some topics, after a good nights sleep. I think it would be good if you post this idea along with your Moderators Musings, and perhaps with the next floral image you post so everyone sees it.

Thanks, Bill. Most of my flower images are SOS. ;)

Bill, themes sound like a great idea.

Thanks for pointing us to an "acronym explanation." Boy, was that a fingerful.

Ciao ;^)
