So.. never before (that is until I joined this site) have I been able to see the work of so many different levels of photographers.  It's been great!  What makes it even better, is that all of the photographers have a simlar subject matter.  HOWEVER, in having seen so many images, I have come across SO MANY that are incredibly cliche/overdone/played out.  The type of photo, when seen, one says: not another (one of these) shots.  Or perhaps an image/scene/idea that has been so well done by a previous and more famous photographer, any attempted reproduction can only be laughable:

I would like to (with the help of other MM photogs, models, and stylists) compose a running list of images, scenes, etc. that have been over used and are now cliche:

My first submission:

Naked people rolling around in the sand on the beach.  This could be couples, a single man, or a single woman.  Either way, I've seen it before  . . .and then again

Messages about banning cliches should be banned, as messages that are about banning cliches are also cliche.

I think we should ban pictures of models,
It's so over done,
We've all seen it,

Not fair! I'm still new at this, I haven't had my chance to shoot all of the cliches yet!
