Got Red on the 17th challenge. It took another 32 more challenges for the 2nd Red. Blue was 3rd challenge after this. Feels like it was a long time ago.
edit: usual typos that never go away.

That was unique to the April Fool's speed challenge. Anyone who managed to pull off all the ridiculous requirements got a ribbon regardless of placement. |

No other special ribbons- just the ever fashionable profile icons of the Site Council members. ;-) |

You are an amazing talent. It's hard to believe that it took you that many entries to get your blue.
68 challenges for me to get a yellow. I didn't really ever expect to get one. |
Thanks Marjo - you're too kind! I didn't really want one until then you see - so I never bothered!
; )
But seriously, it's not a talent thing, but more like a social experiment in gauging the audience. It has more to do with holding off and waiting for the 'dead cert' subject than being a skilful photographer per se, of which there are plenty who have no ribbons. I can honestly say that the blues I have scored were a gut feeling of optimism at the time of the shot - more than any other I have taken - a test to see if I could get close if I put my mind to it.
I believe that the key (if there really is one) is producing a shot that too few people can vote low! I think it's not all about 10s but reducing the number of lower-than-average votes, coupled with an unusual subject or different view of an ordinary one. I definitely wouldn't feel happy with a ribbon if I didn't feel able to hang, or repeatedly view the shot, that's for sure.
I think I'll shut up now, I've bored myself. |

I started DPC pretty much when I started taking photography-ish pictures and then it took me 58 challenges to get the blue.
But of course everyone here learns something new each challenge so I enter as many as I can! :-) |
