[QUOTE="Rodrigo Istalindir, post: 2323515, member: 2810"] I'm not sure there is any one set that is the most devious. Different folks find different things difficult to assimilate. Personally, I find the pictures the hardest when there is one in the set that is egregiously anachronistic or so explicit that it leaves little room for interpretation. In my first competition, third round, one of the pictures was of an airplane in obvious distress. That pretty much dictates that, no matter what direction was suggested by the other pictures, at some point there had to be an airplane. Since the other pictures fell right into place, having to adapt to accomodate that one picture was very frustrating. (Edit: Having said that, I've now screwed myself in future competitions....never reveal a weakness for the picture-picker to exploit :) ) Others have said that they find it more difficult to write when the pictures are generic and not really tied to any particular era or action. Some prefer portraits, some action shots, etc. It just really depends on how the individual author goes about constructing their story. Of the ones I've had to work with, I think the above-mentioned airplane and [URL=http://www.enworld.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=17485]this one[/URL] from last fall were the two that were the hardest to work into their respective stories. I'd still like to know what the hell the latter was from. [/QUOTE]
