Double Word Score
by David

Comment:
Cool idea! This photo has great potential! I already love the angle, but to me, the red triple word score stands out the most. I might have pulled the
lighting towards the front to accentuate the red square, then focused on it and let the rest fade into the shadow. Um, I guess this really isn't
helpful criticism, since it is just my opinion! Still, high marks for you!

I love the angle and DOF of this picture and I'm sure you are going to get people saying the exact opposite of this--but I think it
would have been better without the face in it. This is just IMO, of course. I think it is because it throws the perspective off and takes
away from the impact of the game.

domestic game hunting

I like the angle of this picture, but overall it is too dark and grainy and not much focus. I also find the setup ironic, since many hunters I
hear about wait until the deer come up to their man-made feeding grounds to shoot them. Great sport and challenging, too!

i think i would have gone all the way here and moved the camera angle to cut more off the bottom and put her whole face in the frame!
otherwise i like it.

Absolut DPChallenge

Whew! It sure was tough being quiet this week!:)

First of all I would like to issue a formal apology to those that I offended by using your pictures. When I first read the challenge criteria, I focused on the "advertisement" and "appeal to the users of DPChallenge". Since I love the Absolut ads, this was the only way I could think of to make it work. Then I started reading the copyright infringement posts. Here was the problem I faced--should I email the 25 or so users and ask--thereby risking about an 1/8th of the voters pretty much knowing which picture was which----or preserve anonymity? Very hard decision--but I decided to just wait and see what happened. Perhaps I made the wrong decision--and I apologize. I meant no harm.

The original (fair!) picture layout consisted of taking the top three winners from every challenge. Then I had lots of trouble getting them laid out, so I just started grabbing pictures and printing them horizontally and vertically. So, just because you don't see your picture doesn't mean it's not there---it might be just hidden or on the other side of the bottle!

The mouse, oh the agony. I can't even look at this picture without cringing! Let me just say to all--if you keep a box of old but seemingly useful stuff that you think you might ever need---throw it away! Far, far away! That crappy mouse (circa 1996?) still worked so I kept it for an *emergency*--? Needless to say, this project was done at night, and with all the other issues, I never even really looked at the dirty guy. Well, believe me I have learned that lesson! No more pack rat--all brand new stuff for me!:) What a great excuse to shop!

Thanks again for all the comments--you guys rock!
