Just to clarify Joe, the Forum Challenge is in the Forum. This month it is Unusual Perspectives. The Genre Challenge is in the Challenge Area (Portraits). That one IS meant to be more of a challenge, as it is more of a contest. Still, you get all kinds of entries, and I daresay the ones that took little effort probably won't get many votes. The Forum challenge is meant to be more fun and sharing, but it is up to the individual to determine how much they want to challenge themselves.
