Disappointing finish. A great setup marred by soft focus and grain. Better lighting and maybe a radish "butterfly" or other focal point positioned toward the top might have made this a top 5 or ribbon.

No thanks. Whenever I'm "expected" to come through, I pull out all the stops. So tournaments, DPL, direct competitions and topics that I suggest account for the vast majority of my higher scores. I don't have IreneM's grasp of color and composition, the models of Kiwiness or Librodo, or the landscapes of Iceland or Cannon Beach, so I have to lean heavily on concepts. It's tough to do that on every single challenge, so I've generally avoided the DPC Olympics, Formula competition and side challenges. Plus, I'm down to one camera with a sticky shutter button. :-(

Brilliant concept. I'm surprised this one didn't make the top 10.

OK, that gets a fave just for the story. Hehe... we're going to have to put a "no liquids" special rule in every challenge to slow you down. ;-)
