Now honestly, if there's one person on this site who masters the nonsense-domain, imho it would be you.
To me, this challenge has been tailored to your size :)
I think I'll come up with a reverse-psychology entry - my image will make so much sense that the fact that I entered it will make no sense at all and therefor, I shall win. ...wait, that doesn't make any sense. ...so I'll do it!

Now put that sentence into picture form and you will acquire a Blue-ish Ribbon!
This is one of those challenges that says so much about the photographers and just how much chaos they can handle psychologically. I'm going to love it. heheheheheh
The sample photo is certainly SILLY, but it still makes sense (two guys being funny). How is this "nonsense" in terms of the challenge description?

This definitely qualifies as nonsense - the Capt. has his tights on OVER his pants, so they should be Overpants, not Underpants...
I agree with Crowis, any "nonsense" photo can be deemed "just silly" with that attitude. That shot totally makes "no sense"...
If I had a shot of say an astronaut wearing a top hat, using a chainsaw to cut a refridgerator, while on the ocean floor, I am sure someone can opinionate, "That is just silly", when others think "nonsense". So what is the determining factor of "Nonsense" or "Sense"???
One of the difficult conditions in recent months has been the overemphasis of DNMC by those voters whose definition of the challenge does not match the definition applied by the artist photographer. Sometimes, outstanding photography is snubbed by voters because of a perceived DNMC, even when a challenge entry clearly meets the general challenge description. The "Nonsense" challenge is an opportunity for voters to refocus their attention to the caliber of the photography, rather than split hairs. Almost all of my photography is nonsense, so I think the topic is broad.

Well put.
I looked at your portfolio, very impressive. I was looking for the nonsense shots you spoke of, but only found this. Get it? "Non-cents" hee hee

I amhaving trouble in that my proposed entry may make too much sense. - or as Ken may have previously pointed out, perhaps entering something sensible is more nonsensical than a blatant attempt at nonsense. Anyway, my title makes it more nonsense than the photo is itself. I hope we get some voters with good senses of humor, not nonsenses of humor.
I'm in, but I found that, for this challenge, it was extremely difficult to come up with a good idea. I did come up with what I think is a fantastic idea but it was a lucky thought (if that makes any sense). If I hadn't come up with this fleeting thought then I wouldn't have anything because I have tried to think of another idea and can't.
