11:00 Decide to take a macro picture
11:05 Get out camera and start snapping
11:18 Finish snapping
11:30 start processing
11:34 submit
I have never used one of these borders, and I don't always think they work. But, I figured, what the hey. . .
Of course, I enter it fully knowing that it will finish *much* lower than the 7.2 it deserves, just because of the border. The commenters might *say* other things, but it is really the border that will ding the score.
That said, here is my "Bingo" card --
** focus is off
** dof is too shallow
** needs more contrast
** vignette looks bad (btw, NOT added in PP -- result of having a lens reversed)
** too much NeatImage
** "Oh my freakin' gosh, this is the most awesome entry EVAH! I am so glad you entered it. My life is now complete."
/removes tongue from cheek -
shot with a 50 reversed on a 18-55 with 3 "magnifying" lens thingys on it. adjusted levels, saturation, cropped, bordered, noise reduction (which i prolly should have done sooner, i think i've got a white line between teh picture and border) submitted
estimated score -- 4.2 |

"Oh my freakin' gosh, this is the most awesome entry EVAH! I am so glad you entered it. My life is now complete."
Is this still in voting because I would give it like a 27 if I could it is so tubular and gnarly at the same time and totally completes my world.

MAX! |

| LOL. You're not much of a procrastinator, though. I've lost track of how many entries I've shot at 11:45. :) |

| in this case you are close enough...but almost to close...there is no detail left of what you are taking a picture of...if it weren't for your title I'd have no clue and your focal points are very scattered |
