Musical Instruments (with human subject - CAPTURE DATE RULE)

Well, personally, I enjoy entering challenges with capture date rules. Rather than just pulling out an old photo I took, it makes me get out my gear and set up a shot just for the challenge. I want to see what people are capable of doing on a deadline, instead of plucking a good shot from the thousands they've taken over the years.

When I host challenges that I don't feel are easy to set up, I don't use a capture date rule. For instance, my last one was a paintball challenge. The odds of people being able to take those shots within two weeks are slim, so I left it open to old photos. I really don't think this instrument challenge would be difficult for most people to set up. The majority of people have some sort of musical instrument accessible to them.
