I'm sick and tired of the creativity this site requires! I hate having to shoot a new subject each week! I hate having to use my own brain power to figure out what to shoot!
I think that each week the system admins should post a picture and we should all have to copy it. Votes should be based on how closely you can copy the shot. I also think that the subject of the shot should be something not readily available to everyone. If you can't copy the shot, you can't submit! That will keep down the number of photos we have to vote on each week.
Also, we won't have to argue about interpretation of the challenge subject or about whether or not a shot meets the challenge.
I think this is an excellent idea! If this works out, next we can require that everyone use the same camera!
the flag has a cunningly placed hole in it. Also the photo must include a tree, a cactus, a swimming pool, a piece of moon rock, and a sculpture of some kind of ant-eater.

Oh yeah... and if you copy it TOO well you get DQ'd for a literal representation of a work of art.

And to avoid DQ issues, you should avoid any feature that COULD be readily duplicated in Photoshop. Hence, no lighting effects, no textures, no perspective, no blur etc, etc. Just a good solid shot of nothing.

I could do that in Photoshop though - File -New gives me a good, solid shot of nothing... so that option is out too.
