The perfect poseby
william88Comment by william88: I have deleted about 80 percent of all my hummingbird shots after each shooting session. There are 2296 hummingbird photos remain in my hard drive. That mean in about 11480 shots, there is only one shot look exactly straight into lens. To me, it's very rare chance. I was so excited and reluctant to give up this shot. That's why I had tried my best to repair the minor imperfection. As I understood from another rule in the advanced editing, using clone stamp to fix minor imperfection is legal and I think that should be encouraged if the shot is rare. I didn't create any new feature, I just repair the imperfection.
My another shot here
was also a rare chance because it is usually very hard to focus when there are leaves or flowers behind humer and its beak is not aligned to a flower.
Now both of my ribboned hummingbirds end up like this due to the conflicting rules. What should I say? It's not worth doing any effort for dpc.
As I mentioned before in this killer shot
(DQed by the same rule). The consequence of too many rules and cruel DQ plus a broken voting system is making the site less attractive than other photography communities. But what can we do? all I can do is let it sink, let it sink, let it sink. Oh, sorry about the typo. It's the season of let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
You can do almost unlimited things on a real large community site like this one.
A paid member has a dedicated customizable homepage and can even host a group and contests. How dpc can do to beat them?
