Good thing about these tourneys is that everyone stands a chance. I will give you a heads up later on in the week as to how much of a chance you stand. ;)


ha ha ha...my only hope is if your camera breaks... errr..and i guess your wife's and the one in your phone and all your friends' cameras. :)

I kinda had a feeling that mine wouldn't go over well, but I had fun creating it and I just got a comment too!

So anything above a 5 is in potential ribbon territory? :-)

I think many people are being killed by the Basic editing. My shot wouldn't have benefitted too much from Advanced editing, and it's doing OK at around 6.2. :-)

I think it's more likely to be that there's a lot of DNMC because the pictures have more than just eyes in them. I'm guess that's why my entry is in freefall.

Well, seems like a low scoring one all round. I was nicely over a 6 this morning and now it's falling a bit but still, I like the shot so that's the main thing.

It would make for a pretty weird challenge if everyone filled the frame with an eyeball. I don't think any subject has to fill 90% of the frame. The subject is the focus. :-/

I agree too many people taking the challenge title too literally, I get that a lot lately :) but Im in the mindset now I'm shooting for me and not for what I think the voters mite like, as long as I like it then I'm happy and if someone else likes it then thats just a bonus :)

Heh! No. Last I checked I was on the south side of 5, along with nearly half the posters here, so I figured anything above a 5 must be really good! (Because mine ain't that bad.)

I didn't want to fill the frame with an eyeball either, and one of the comments I received was "Not a picture of an eye". Go figure.

For folks wondering why the advanced ruleset wasn't chosen. Langdon probably wanted to see what real eyes look like. Refreshing to browse the photos and see quite a few eyes that I know where not processed to death and look magically wonderful. Plus, more attention to the expression was put it, so that's fun. Even those shots which are portrait oriented, I can see the focus on the eyes was put in.

Did people actually think that this was an "Eyeball Challenge"???

Is that what's going on? If that's the case I'm almost embarassed being part of this whole thing.

Thats what I was talking about is too many are taking it too literal and if thats the case I fear for the single eye ball photos as the title was "The Eyes Have It!" :/

I agree that the eyes should be the focus but not have to consume 100% of the photo as well...

Turning scores off on what appears to be ridiculous voting across the board. I'm pretty confused, but on to the next one.
02/06/2008 11:18:39 AM · #71
Will this be graded on a curve, b/c then I'm doing ok!

From how voting is going on, I feel that people are being a bit harsh.
02/06/2008 11:56:52 AM · #74
In 10 votes , I dropped 0.6. Brutal, definitely brutal...
