This officially sucks. I thought I had at least a mid 5 and I'm being told here that it's substandard. There's something I'm just not getting when I think I've nailed a good one and I come away with this.

My PB is yet to come... [Gazes toward horizon with distant grandeur in eyes.] Not this month though. :) [Gazes at toes, shuffles feet a bit, kicks rock] Not doing too badly though - about where I expected so far.

Woke up to a dismal 4.6, Ouch! Slowly it has creeped up to 5.0800. Some really good photos out there.

I am so tired of seeing the low scores, not only mine but everyone's, people are way too selfish around here....
08/01/2008 09:55:46 AM · #113
Wooooo! I'm finally above four :D I'd be happy if it stayed that way...
08/01/2008 09:57:24 AM · #114
Woo Hooo. . . I'm not over 7 . . .yet (well one can always hope and think positive, right??? :), but after 35 votes, I'm at 6.94 with 6 comments and a favorite. Yayyyyyy!!!!!

I was afraid to look this morning, so I waited until 8:58am. Whew. I love it when that happens and I don't have to spend the day working thru the "You suck, why do you bother, blues" :) (course it is early)

Well, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a crappy score - I just broke 5. Woot.

To all new DPCers... One fact you have to know and live with: There are photographers all over the world, and there are photographers in DPC. This is a whole different world who likes (check the previous winners) kind of photos. Rest doesn't matter :)

Sharp, simple, plain and clear photos (aka eye candies), no matter what your subjects are (this rules are broken from time to time, but not often)

Umm....

I used to think so, too.....

Then I got 6+ scores on the last six softened, ethereal images I entered and that blew that theory right out of the water.

After two years and over 100 challenges, I have *NO* clue what works! LOL!!!

That's what's been happening to me all day. I feel much happier, now my entry has climbed all the way up to the lofy heights of 5.4. Glad to see you have such a good score Sandy.

After two in a row that surprised me at how much they SUCKED in the eyes of voters...well, O.K., they sucked from this point of view, too, a little...this one is at least getting a "little" respect.

And of course, it's early. The real appreciative voters aren't up yet!

It looks like this one may stay above 6 - cool. I really like the image (and it does look good in my office) so it really doesn't matter the score in the long run...

I took this great vacation with my camera in hand. Sorted through hundreds of photos. Picked the best 7 and PP'ed to perfection. Made a great Power Point presentation to my local photo club showing the best 7. Gots lots of great feedback and then submitted the one that I loved and was well recieved by most the the club members....

Ahh well, reality is a terrible thing to crash down upon you. Not the first time and unfortunately will also not be the last time.

Patient: It hurts when I bang my my head into the wall. Can you help me?
Doctor: Yes, stop banging your your head into the wall.

I have found after doing extremely well in my home area that to let how you do here get to you is like trying to teach a pig to sing.

It wastes your time......and annoys the pig!......8>)
