Lol, I hope he's watching, Mark, otherwise you may have to go find yourself a frozen lake somewhere.

It's also winter in the southern hemisphere right now, so I'm sure there is no shortage of frozen lakes in the world.

It's ok though, opening up the rules to include photos taken within the last year has given me a safety net. I know, kind of a cheap way to score a point, but I'm coming in late.

Just wait till you see my next challenge!

Well, remember, it won't score you a second point when you meet your own challenge. Rather, it's allowing you to retain the point you got by meeting someone else's challenge. The purpose of that is so that people don't throw up something ludicrous, so they have to keep in mind that there's a penalty for putting up a challenge that they nor anyone else can meet. So if you're able to meet your own challenge you don't gain a point, but you don't lose your previous point, and you have to present a new challenge that will hopefully be something people will be able to accomplish without a lot of difficulty.

When I first read that I was sitting here scratching my head like..."frozen lake...in August?"

Yeah, and actually it might be harder than I originally thought. I've been checking southern hemisphere daily temps and there just might not be very many frozen lakes in the world right now. For some reason winter in the southern half of the planet is nowhere near as cold as winter in the north - go figure. I can change it and put out a new challenge if you like.

I think that's a good idea. Go back and edit your post with your picture if you still can and change the challenge, and then please post again with the latest challenge so those who go to the end of the thread will see it without having to search too much.

Here's another one, not as difficult but not a give-away either:

Boxster reflected in the side or rear view mirror of another Boxster

I was tempted to say both Boxsters must be in motion, but that would present too much of an opportunity for catastophe.

A while back there was thread about this guy named Michael Paul Smith who takes amazing photos of model cars. He inspired me to try this. Here is the flikr link for any that may have missed it.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/24796741@N05

So, it is up to Overdrive to either accept or reject this photo for my first point.

If it is a go, then the next challenge shall be:
A Boxster with sailboat(s) in the background.
(What did you expect with a profile handle like "Spinnaker")
I know that this may be a challenge for those whom are far from any water, but be creative, I was.
