The idea is to take a picture where "the human element", that is the people, add the extra touch that makes a good picture special. The "human element" then should not be the subject or even a major focus of the photograph, rather it is the extra ingredient (the spice) that transforms the ordinary to the extraordinary.

As a fountain of inspiration, the results of the similarly themed Nikon challenge are here and here; and from our recent challenges, this nice entry from Mepo (on right) is an idea of what I'm thinking of.
