Txabi's Challenges

Post nice and creative pictures of what you regularly have for breakfast.

As an urbanite, I have never, ever seen a snake in real life, up close. Thus, to satisfy my and surely others' curiosity, I challenge you to submit your best pictures of snakes!! I would be scared of them in real life, but via DPR my monitor protects me from their dangers while allowing me to study them :D

Submit your best shots of Non-Newtonian fluids. If you don't know what these are, go to wikipedia and learn some physics :D

Submit your pictures of liquid surfaces: anything will do, ocean, sea, puddle, glass of water... just make it interesting.

Submit pictures of small details, not necessarily macro shots, but small things that often go unnoticed in our everyday lives.

Submit pictures where the main subject is the black color. PLEASE NOTE: there's a special limitation for this challenge in contrast to my other color challenges (see additional rules).

As a professional who specializes in literature and gender studies, I have dealt many times with theoretical sources that have opened my mind about and allowed me to understand many ways of discrimination. One of them is the way in which the term "fat" is inherently negative in Western societies. This is, however, thankfully not the case in every social system in our planet. So, submit your...

Submit pictures where the main subject is the purple color.

Maybe not directly a photography challenge, since you won't really be able to use your dSLR (unless you shoot a creative shot where the photo booth picture is inside the shot), but this seems fun/interesting nonetheless. So, scan them and show us your best pictures TAKEN IN A PHOTO BOOTH. See the sample pic provided for further guidance.

Xmas is practically over by now and I'm sure many of you have a good number of shots of your xmas trees. So show us pictures NOT of full trees, but of smaller details, even macros if you will, of interesting parts of your xmas trees. Also, just an idea to share - my xmas cards are always printouts of previous years' xmas trees (cheaper, more personal and thus way cooler than a Hallmark card...

Submit pictures where the main subject is the red/magenta color.

Oh snow. So white, so clean for the first 10 hours after it falls in the city. After that, it becomes a muddy mess, creating countless puddles for you to soak your feet... That's the objective of this challenge, show us muddy, puddly snow in your city!! It will be a good way to vent the frustration for all those times you get your feet wet in squishy snow!!

Absolute freedom on how you shoot the pic, just make it about zippers!!

I rarely see interesting and creative shots from pool/billiard (just specifying for people not to think I'm talking about swimming pools :D). Show some interesting shots of any elements concerning the pool/billiard game!! And also, have fun while playing :)

Old, new, rusty, shiny, any kind you can think of. Show us interesting shots of pipes!!

Facial hair, body hair, curly, straight, wavy, shiny, matte, traditional, crazy, people, animals... anything!! Show your best, most artistic, most creative pictures of hair.

We usually see photography of ants (as well as other insects) in isolated, high detail pictures. How many times do we see them working, moving in groups? That's the theme of this challenge, not just macro photography of ants in isolation, but working, moving in groups... basically, ants being ants!!

Winter is getting close, and so many of you have probably painted your barns, outer walls, etc... and if you haven't done so, you will soon before the real cold starts!! Thus I propose a challenge about your most interesting chipped paint shots!! Any kind of chipped paint is valid; mold and rust can also add to the impact of the picture. Shots from wherever you take them and in any kind of...
