Hello,
I just wanted to introduce myself as I just signed up for membership and my first challenges. I love looking at everyone's photos! I count myself as a beginner in photography, just past the average Facebook poster. I'm trying to comment some too when I vote, so I hope that's okay. I look forward to learning from everyone!

Welcome, you found a great place to learn (and comments are always welcome!)

Hello and welcome! There are lots of great people here with plenty of good advice, you just have to ask. Thanks for the comment you left on one of my photos - you pointed out what you did and didn't like about it which is a perfect way for both of us to learn. Looking forward to seeing your work!

Welcome, and commenting is not just OK, it's actually one of the best ways to learn about what "works" and what doesn't, which you'll eventually incorporate into your own images.

Please read the rules carefully, as new members often run afoul of some of our restrictions such as setting the date on your camera accurately, submitting pictures taken only within the specified time frame, and keeping the original file exactly as recorded on the camera's card for possible future verification.

It is not uncommon for scores to be 1 - 1.5 points lower than you expect; try not to let that worry you ... :-)

Well, for some of us overly optimistic types, it is not uncommon for scores to be lower than expected by well more than 1 - 1.5 points. Sigh.

Actually, it is healthy to regard the scores as less important than the learning and the connecting. I often find images I like (and voted high scores for) scattered all up and down the list of results.

Welcome, and have fun.

Welcome Kimberly!! The best thing about DPC is how many people are here to help. If you need feedback, if you can't figure out how something works, if you want to buy a camera... anything. Just ask, and someone will jump in right away.

Have fun, and don't worry so much about the scores. There are also numerous side challenges where there are no scores or voting. Just people posting images on a topic. Anyone can start one of those :)

Hello and welcome Kimberley.
I just looked at your home page and at 'your average vote cast' and am so happy to see that you
are voting fairly and not defensively. It also looks like you live in a very photogenic place and that
you have so much potential. Make sure that you ask questions and make yourself known. I hope you
wind up loving to be here.
