So, it states, "shoes"...does that mean at least 2 shoes without feet in them? would a single lonely shoe be DNMC ?

I am comfortable with a loose interpretation. I certainly will not deduct any points for a nice picture of a one shoe (or one boot). Last month was a "Wheels" challenge and a couple pics of a single ferris wheel did quite well. So, perhaps it is not just me.

I agree with you. I think as long as there is some type of footwear in the photo, in whatever quantity, feet or no feet in the picture (as long as they are not in the footwear)....then it's all good.
I won't deduct points either for boots or sandals, or just one shoe vs two. The point of these challenges is to improve our photography skills. Let's focus on that.
Dammit. The original shot doesn't have to be taken in black and white does it? Just the phrasing implies it might... "Photograph shoes without feet inside of them in black and white."
And, EL-ROI, is one shoe really DNMC? Or were you joking?

I don't think the voter has any way to tell whether the image was shot in B&W (converted in the camera) or converted later, and failure to meet the description is not grounds for a DQ absent an "Extra Rule" being posted, so I don't think it matters, unless you just want to take the opportunity to experiment. I plan to shoot in color and convert later ...
hmm. i wonder what the grammar nazis have to say about this.
i dont know if "shoes" in this case demands multiple shoes. "photograph shoes." "photograph (two|many|some|more than one) shoes." "photograph sports" i wouldnt think would require more than one sport in the shot. "submit entries" multiple entries are disqualifies. "go to your wives" (husbands) poligamy is illegal. all these examples use the plural form of the word but mean the singular. language is so unclear there is genuinely no way we can know what they want... there is an appropriate quote here if i can remember it...
i do believe a sole (gedit?) shoe is lonelier than two.
i dont believe shoes demands more than one, to summarise, but rather the collection of shoes from the entrants (be they individually singular or plentyful) satisfies, by definition, the challenge.
thanks for the clarification, GeneralE.
also, is silver efex legal in basic? obviously not control points, vignettes and burning edges and things like that. but the global colour sensitivity adjustments? i think they are, but thought id check before proceeding.
and is the colour filter in it legal? again, it changes the presence of a colour globally in the image so i think it is.

yes,yes, exactly! i would be really disappointed if people worked hard and produced some beautiful photos, only to get low marks from people who had a very narrow definition of what the entries were supposed to be. :(
