Our first weekly challenge for stock photos, Fruity Stock, was so successful (over 700 entries) that we’ve decided to add “licence for stock” as a requirement for future challenges. In this week’s challenge we ask you to tell a story with hands.

• Improperly categorized images will be recategorized and disqualified
• Lude hand gestures will be disqualified (i.e. middle finger up, or two fingers up facing toward the camera)
• Image quality (through ImageDuel) will determine the winner.  In other words… the better image will determine the winner not the better concept.

• Be true to the category:  Images in the wrong category will be recategorized and disqualified.
• Entries that do not comply with the above rules will be disqualified (a PWChands-dq will be placed on the image).
