I was very surprised to see the photo's which I rated very high came out so low!

my one and only 10: (16th place)


my only 9: (141th place)


one of a few 8ths (65th place)


goes to show, there's no telling what'll please the voters :-)
(which is a good thing ofcourse)

My top scores that didn't make the top 10:

I voted a 10. Finished 11th place.
I voted a 9. Made 10th, but I thought it should have been higher.
I voted a 9. Finished 64th place. Love the use of negative space here.
I voted a 9. Finished 81st place.
A bit out-of-the-box, but I voted a 9. Finished 361st place.

And I was very happy to see one of my 9's go to a ribbon:

3rd place.

By my vote any of these could have qualified for the top two portrait fotos:

These are my favourites that didn't make the top 10

I absolutely love this picture, just look at that face.

I think this is a cracking shot.

This is just beautiful.

One of my few 10s. I am sad it did not scored as high as i liked it to be.
Joy to watch nonetheless.

I got that first and last one as well. But with the first I thought the make-up was too smudgy. Not neat enough.

Okay...I realize it's not a human subject (and I suspect that voters were favoring human portraits), but regardless of anyone's take on the challenge theme, this one here is definitely worthy of specia post-challenge recognition, in my opinion. It is quite possibly the most perfect cat portrait I've ever seen.



I also liked this one a lot (and it did pretty well, but not in the top 10 as I would have expected):

Well I think it is very nice but agree with a few that posted comments about the crop. A tighter crop would have made this shot MUCH more dynamic and probably higher scoring, even if it IS not a human portrait, methinks. The expression on the cat's face is very appealing.

You're new to DPC, right? :) You'll get used to your opinion not matching that of the "average" voter.

I don't know how this one finished 51st, a voting travesty!:





01/17/2007 02:23:00 PM · #19
Some of my highest votes in no particular order (and trying not to duplicate some others that have already been posted):





01/17/2007 02:39:06 PM · #20
These were my top 3 votes



And I was surprised this didn't score higher

What is it about that is so intriguing?

Special thanks to KarenNfld for including


in her list. I'm going to post some of my favorite shots that missed
snagging a ribbon. There were a lot of great shots this time.

Here's one that didn't do too well, I think it pushed against peoples sentimentality. I think it was a great shot though and gave it an 8.

I see this:

The title caught my attention first, the meager tonality, apparent intentional character and qualities of this portrait second. I don't know exactly why they work together, but I think they are seamed together appropriately.
In terms how I perceive the image - white shirt, tie unraveled, an enthusiastic gospel singer rested. It is a cut from Oral Roberts tent show circa 1957, or local Augusta, Georgia b&w Sunday morning show, w/gospel singers and ministers stepping in front each other to vie for the eye of the camera and b&w audience.

A line from an old Mason Profitt song came to mind.
"Did you ever hear the songs they play in Georgia......"
