So, there was a lack of prompt ideas, and then there was a lack of me making up ideas. So here is your belated poll. Sorry!

Also, we (the mods) were talking about doing 2 prompts for an entire month to give people more time to take photos, and then hopefully we will all post more photos. What do you all think? Is the shorter timeframe helpful motivation, or would having more time give you more time for creativity? Please comment.

Several people have suggested previously used prompts recently, so I thought I'd throw a question out about whether you guys think we should reuse prompts. The prompts included today that would be reruns if they're chosen are "green," "blue," and possibly "stripes" (which covers some of the same territory as the previous "lines and patterns" prompt). All of those are among the most popular prompts so far, and could inspire many more pictures, but on the other hand maybe we'd like to try to keep using new and different inspiration for each challenge - let us know what you think.
