Take a picture which is over saturated and/or over sharpened and creates an interesting picture.

| There's no restriction on the kind of sharpening you can do in Standard Editing anyway, so the flag would not be required. |

| All my images are over sharpened. No additional sharpened would be required. However, many are desaturated. |

Isn't that every challenge already here? Seriously, I look at stuff and wonder if anyone cares about over-processing any more. Halos everywhere, and people are tossing 8's, 9's and 10's at them. I get a good picture, but people need to learn how to processes them. But I guess not if they're getting rewarded already. Saturation? Not quite as much, but there's plenty of shots that are saturated enough that you could wring a decent sided puddle out of them.
And no, Mark, yours are far from "over sharpened". At least in comparison.
(God, I've been wanting to post about that for months but didn't want to start a thread on it) |

Those are interesting. I was picturing something worse.

I see the example as more "Extreme HDR(-ish)" than Lomography, but like Mark the title of the challenge led me to something very different from what you were imagining. Not a fan, but I can see doing something like this on purpose.
Perhaps "over-structured" instead of "over-sharpened".

That seems to be a contradiction in terms. Not sure how you can possibly have over sharpened, over saturated and interesting. By default, to me at least, being over saturated and over sharpened precludes anything from being interesting |

Didn't you click on the link? I think there are some really interesting examples.
It's a challenge to create one that IS interesting.
That's why we are at DPC, to be challenged on our skills...lol |

I did click on the link.
But it's a moot point, since I'm not really actively taking part in DPC any more.

Yeah....I remember when I first joined there were easily 200 entries for regular challenges, up to 400+ for monthly FS and 700+ for Best Of...
And, having recently finished 12/24 in a challenge, mostly because a copycat image by a more *popular kid* than me finished on the homepage, I can say that I am now getting somewhat embarrassed by the populist debacle that DPC has become.
As usual my .002 CN unbiased cents' worth. |

Care to share with us how the presence of the "copycat image" dropped you all the way from the front page to 12th? In fact, care to tell us what a "copycat image" IS, in the context of a self-portrait triptych?
Is THIS a "copycat image"? 
Yeah, I'm getting peeved :-( |

It's pretty obvious, Bear. I don't need to point out that someone else with long hair, nearly identical lighting, almost identical moods portrayed, and with a lot more props almost ribboned, while I ended up 12/24. Gee thanks DPC, no favouritism here! Not at all! Just vote high for someone else who is an autoribboner.
And at this point, with challenges barely getting entries in the double digits, I honestly don't give a sweet flying rat's ass anymore. I know I am not the only person who has seen that DPC, which has has always been a playground for the pks to show off, is even more so now that there are far fewer entries.
If DPC is still around in a year's time, I will be shocked.

Geez, Susan. Do you live near each other? Did you show her your images before entering them? I'm not sure I understand how hers are copycat images... Maybe yours are the copy cat images....? It's seriously an absurd claim. Especially for a challenge like this.

Johanna, all I'm pointing out is how this site, and especially challenges which are essentially selfie challenges, is that it's all about favouritism. It's all about the popularity of a photographer and/or their style.
I do believe that I was proven right. Don't the rankings show it?! If I am wrong, then why am I not on the homepage, and the other person buried in the middle of the pack?

Same deal here. I already oversharpen, and I could over-saturate my photos but you would never know.

Wow  Snaffles off on a bit of a tangent there. But I didn't say I was fed up or irritated with DPC - I still hang out, vote and take part in other ways, I'm just not doing much photography these days, so the weekly topics are not so important to me, except as a voter..

Susan, if that's all you're pointing out, you have a might destructive way of doing it. The only sort of favoritism I can speak to is the type of images that voters seem to prefer. Be they selfies or not. That has always been the case.

| You were top 3 in my lineup - higher than 'the other one'. But I can't see how you come to the conclusion that you were copied. I notice you remark about maple leaves in Aus. Plenty of them! They might not be native but they are here. (And yes, I can tell that they are artificial. Maybe we don't really have butterflies here, either.) |
