I saw this same question yesterday when I was browsing through the forum. Now I have a very bad cold, so I must be too high on NyQuil, because I can't find the thread and the answer to this question.
So I apologize for asking again.
Are we supposed to do all 4 elements or can we do just one?
The challenge says
''Create an image representing your choice of Earth, Air, Fire, or Water''
so you have a choice of earth, air, fire or water, of course I dont see a problem with a combination of any 2, 3 or all 4.
I'd say the winner(s) will have at least three of the four elements, not because that would mean a better image, but because that's the way people vote. I don't think a minimalist approach to this challenge will be well received by the average voter, however refreshing that might be.
nahhh a cat smelling a flower that has a bug on it, at sunset...
all 4 there right?
I'm thinking a water drop shot would do it as well... *chuckles*
All kidding aside, I'm not going to think about what voters will like.
I'm getting back into it, so I know from the get go I won't score very high. Fun is the word of the day for me...
Besides, I never did do what everyone wanted... hmmmm ...
I was thinking about rounding up the band, Earth, Wind and Fire,having them play some songs in a rainstorm whil I shoot photos. That should cover all 4.
I have a belief that there are a large number of voters who never read the details: so they'll presume the challenge is to depict the four elements ... thus they'll vote down anything that doesn't show all four.
However, I've been trying to second-guess the 'voters' for ages, and with no notable success, so listen to me at your peril.
I agree, people will most likely vote higher one the photo that will have all 4 included. At first, I wanted to comply, which is why I asked the question in the first place...
But the more I think about it...
I'm here again to get back into photography, and having a challenge helps me get over the "white page" syndrome. So Imma do whatever comes out of my twisted mind, may it be 4, 2 or just one...
If I don't see lightning striking a baboons butt in a tornado on a hillside in the rain with a forest fire creeping down on him, I'll be pretty upset. Thats for sure.

Talk about pressure!
