Greetinsg from the critique Club -

And welcome to the wonderful world that is DPC. I expect you to find it as addictive as I have.

I didnt vote in this challenge but I probably would have scored it low. While your effects with the text (assuming from shallow DOF) is good, I find images like these to be a bit flat and boring. You met the challenge easily, but from a creativity point of view I find this image lacking. Its a picture of a piece of paper with text on it. Too simple for my tastes though those who commented on it really did seem to like it.

Dont get discouraged by low scores. My first 4 entries were all well below 5. This place is a treasure trove of information. Take your time, learn as much as you can and most of all have fun. Hang in there!

Perfect representation of the numerical Pi... the first of the numbers being well-known and then the rest of the numbers just going on and on till it is a blur.

I can think of a few ways that you took this shot... but please include the explanation in the picture profile. I will be interested to know for sure.

Terrific! This is the only photo in the challenge which IMO captures the trancendental nature of the number. Well done!!!

Yup, that's pi. Very literal interpretation. Maybe try to think more outside the square. :)

I'm pretty sure i'm thinking way too much on this one, but did you write the numbers bigger twards the end? Very cool if so.

I think I would have like this one more had it a greater feeling of depth. It's an interesting idea with a quirky post-processing to it, but it feels stilted.

I love the contrast here. There's just the right amount between the numbers and the background without washing one or the other out. Nicely done
