Take a shot that shows proportion or the lack thereof
Sounds like there is going to be a lot of unhappy voters. Comments of "Does not meet the challenge" seems impossible.
Best of luck all |

I think the wording of this challenge isn't particularly good. I could see non English speakers struggling with the meaning here a little.
I'm not even sure yet what is being looked for, though I understand the word ... but the wording of the sentence is "unusual".

very close in at least one definition. Proportion.
definition #4 in the link states, "Agreeable or harmonious relation of parts within a whole; balance or symmetry."
Isn't that true of any well composed shot? Sounds like another Free Study to me. Not that it is a bad thing, but it seems rather vague. And when it is vague the voters have a lot of 'does not meet the challenge' comments to give out.
Should be an interesting one though.

Proportion
from dictionary.com
1) A part considered in relation to the whole.
2) A relationship between things or parts of things with respect to comparative magnitude, quantity, or degree: the proper proportion between oil and vinegar in the dressing.
3)A relationship between quantities such that if one varies then another varies in a manner dependent on the first: âWe do not always find visible happiness in proportion to visible virtueâ (Samuel Johnson).
4) Agreeable or harmonious relation of parts within a whole; balance or symmetry.
5) Dimensions; size. Often used in the plural.
6) Mathematics. A statement of equality between two ratios. Four quantities, a, b, c, d, are said to be in proportion if a/b = c/d.
The tricky part is is that your photo is to display some form of proportion, or the lack thereof. I think you could submit a photo of anything and it could be defined as meeting the challenge. |

| We could also display the lack of proportion, as stated in the description. A general idea is to have a small object close to a simmilar but larger object. |

... or one object next to many similar objects
... or small proportion of one object in a large proportion of a second type of object next to a small proportion of the second type in a large proportion of the first (think yin-yang).
It should be fun.

The recurring word in any definition of proporation is "RELATION".
relation in size, in number, in contrast, in color......
Many possibilities.

| There may be an abundance of obese people presented -- which is both proportional and not. Or a lot of fish-eye lenses used. I donât have one, so canât use that idea, but I do know greatly huge-bodied people that I could use. |

Just a suggestion, Lord of the Ring's movies use a lot of depth illusion to create proportions when portraying the hobbits and humans in the same shot, if you have the special edition dvd's they show several tests they did which are quite funny, and would make great images.
Cheers,

You must concentrate, young grasshoppahs. Enlightenment doesn't come cheap.
With that said, I don't have a %*&$#$ clue what I'm going to shoot for this.

According to my research, this challenge is anything that is or is not in proportion. In my book that equals, anything.
If it's in proportion to it's surroundings it's good, if it's not, it's good.
