Well, I remember a year or two ago when they had official sticky contests, many of the themes were as you suggested: Simple and comprehensible.

Examples: Blue, Dark, Light, Clouds, Landscape, Urban, Water.

But of course, those who do understand the depth of photography can add more complexity to these themes.

I believe this is win-win: Simple and vague enough for creativity and variation.


Well, my aim with this post is to increase the number of entries, not to judge the comprehension or the relevance of the pics with the theme... So I agree with last phrase.

I bet if we change it to this way someone will shoot boats if the theme is portraits, and will shoot portraits if the theme is boats.

My complaints are the truth actually.
And i care, since there is a theme why people should not follow it?
