Im in. I finally made a decision. Im gonna be regretting it all night and second guessing myself, was it really my fave, it it good, what if i get a 3?!

deep breath

I went with a combination of my fave days shooting ever and one that may actually have artistic appeal - a shot which I always liked but had never really edited & I think it turned out good!

You do know that there have been a lot of 737's going down lately?

Maybe you should unsubmit and then submit it again.

844 and counting!!!!

Here is a question?

If we reach over 900, will DPC:

-extend voting & commenting to be 2 weeks?

-or will the voting be for 1 week but comments are open for another week THEN winners/line-up is announced?

-or will this just be the standard 1 week for the vote & commenting?

In the past, voting numbers, etc. have been evaluated towards the end of voting. If it still looks "active" Langdon may extend it. If things have "slowed down" it may just be one week.

I'm almost more excited about the outtakes thread -- I've got one I couldn't find the original for, and another I'm still tempted to substitute for the one I entered!

Nude III
Average Number of Votes Per Entry: 385

Masters' Free Study
Average Number of Comments Per Entry: 72

It won't be an easy task, but I know it's possible, and we just can't do it without your support! ....Langdon
(bold and underline were added.)

Hey Langdon,
We will not be able to do anything like that without your support either. Please consider those suggestions about extending the voting period and maybe rising the 20% tresshold, at least for this challenge. With so many entries the odds for pictures not to be even seen by most voters are huge. And that does not work in the fairness direction. We all subdits wait to listen to your words in this regard.

Okay, time for some predictions...

- Will there be total 1000 entries in 1000th challenge?
- What will be the break up of Landscapes, Portraits, Pets, Still Life, Drops, Bugs?
- Will the Lanscpae from Iceland win ribbon once again? How many Iceland lanscape entries in top 20?
- It seems like there will be generous voting. What will be the top score in the challenge?

There are so many questions... Give your predictions for these questions and add your questions.

- What will be the break up of Landscapes, Portraits, Pets, Still Life, Drops, Bugs? Most of it will be landscapes (rural and city), then portraits and action shots, then the rest.
- Will the Lanscpae from Iceland win ribbon once again? How many Iceland lanscape entries in top 20? No ribbon for icelanders this time, but there will be one for a british member, and ..just One aureola borealis taken in Iceland in the top 20.
- It seems like there will be generous voting. What will be the top score in the challenge?..blue ribbon score will be 7.8631 +/- 0.01

A new question I forgot to ask the Oracle: Will Jorge De Sousa submit another masterpiece?.

I can't predict such lofty things.

Here are my predictions:

Three people will win a ribbon.

One person will finish last.

A gigantic number of people will finish in between and will quickly be forgotten.

With so many entries, there can be tie at top three or for the last position. ;o)

Oh man.. I am so excited for this challenge. This is the first one that I am participating in, since I'm new to this site as well as photography. I really hope that I get some good feedback about how to improve and get inspired by the awesome talent on this site! Good luck everyone!

I've just swapped out an outtake that would have got me a guaranteed 6+ score for one that I really like but I doubt will do so well.

It's not always about scores is it?
03/10/2009 05:15:08 PM · #250
Okay, for better or worse, I'm in. I got really depressed, going back through everything. Maybe it's the new lcd monitor, but I'm now seeing horrendous amounts of noise in shots that I thought looked great a couple years ago. And my non-existant filing system did NOT make browsing easy! (Gotta get on that.)

I edited... I re-edited...I started editing and gave up...over and over ad nauseum. I finally ended up pulling one out of my portfolio that very few had looked at. It suffers from the size restrictions though, so I don't expect a great score. Ah well, this one's all in the great DPC spirit, right? :)

*sigh....*
