the last drop of water

I like this comment. I have a buddy who ragged on this challenge all week. He complained about all the editing. In a challenge like this, I like the fact that they have so many different kinds of photos.

I like the expert editing challenges. It gives you a chance to do things you wouldn't normally do on DPC !

Originally posted by gyaban: Congratulations on your blue ribbon! I have to say I disagree with all the comments saying it's the victory of "photography" against "digital art", or whatever people call things. I don't see the point of opposing type of pictures, processing styles, photographers visions, etc. It's not a war! ;-) Editing is a tool, just a tool. It can be indispensable, or close to useless, depending on the creation and what is needed to achieve it. Your idea just worked outstandingly that way, and it also appeared to be the best of the challenge, so you won, that's basically it :-) Congratulations again!

From your comments it looks like you were going for the reduction in available water in the world. However, when I saw it, I thought you were going for the theme that I was going for in my DQ entry....making light of all the water drop photos on DPC. I wonder how many others thought the same?

Good job. I gave this an 8.

LOL...so what? One layer....the point is that this is NOT an expert edited photo and it won the blue. It goes against everything you posted on your photo thread here and in the forums.

As far as my DQ image. I took a chance and got permission from Irene and used her water drop as a texture. It was deemed not a texture by SC and got a DQ. I took it like a man and used it to learn. I accept the DQ and it is there for others to learn from.

Oh...by the way, at the time of the DQ it had a score of 5.24+ ...light years in the DPC scale above your fawn...which I gave a 7 !

The blue ribbon winner is excellent. The author of that image did use one layer, although he might have scored as well using Basic Ruleset. Read his image comments. Unrelated to the winning images, the DQ'd image in the challenge speaks for itself.

BTW...I gave your photo a 7 and the Blue Ribbon an 8. So you see, some of my highest scores when to photos in basic editing.

Ok, ok... possibly substituting a godzilla head wouldn't hurt either ;-) No, I'm not silly. As you indicate in your comments, no one has seen a newborn elk run. Twice as big as a deer fawn, btw. Hey, it's okay. I just entered this challenge to prove that people are voting on the processing, not on an image which meets the challenge.
