Additional rules:

Call these "Anti-Rules"
This is a challenge for all those who think outside the box.
As with all challenges in this series, the more unconventional the subject, composition, and/or technique, the better.
There will be certain allowances for "shock value" but truly tasteless photos-IE human corpses, pornography/excessive nudity, excrement/urine etc. will be disqualified. Photos don't have to be offensive to be original.
If your photo is "too ordinary" I will disqualify it
