I also do mostly portraits, which is why I thought it would be a great idea. This was as much a challenge to myself as for everyone else, too. Most of my images are reference tools for my fiction writing. I do images of my characters in portrait so I can better desribe them. If you can see them, it's easier to put their description into words. But I've always admired images where there are multiple characters interacting in some way. This is really what I was hoping for. Multiple actors in a scene, inateracting around some sort of theme or situation. A good example is the famous Thanksgiving dinner scene that Norman Rockwell did. A family enjoying their Thanksgiving dinner. You can almost smell the roast turkey in that painting. Something that could almost look like a scene out of a movie. Something that takes a little time to set up and shows some imagination. Melanie
