A new experience for me. I shot my Wooden shot last night and submitted it this morning. Monday morning, just a few hours after voting begins, we leave on vacation and don't return until the following Monday night. I will miss nearly the entire voting period and will miss the results posting at 11 pm (my time) next Sunday night. I will miss the update button all week, though DPC's servers will no doubt welcome the relief from the load of my nearly constant updating during the week.

What will it be like, a week without the update button, when I've got a very good (ahem, it's EXCELLENT) photo submitted? Will I dream of the challenge? Will I seek out public libraries in New Mexico to check on my photo? Will I forget all about it while we're exploring the geography, geology, and culture of New Mexico??

If you DON'T forget about it and spend time with your family & the landscape, some strange ghost will come and haunt you unto the end of your days.

Have fun!

You're gonna be on vacation? Safest thing is to tell yourself repeatedly:

"My score is going to be what it's going to be regardless of how many times I see it during voting"

And then proceed to completely forget about it and enjoy your vacation!

;-)

P.S. Good luck to you! Hope you take some great pics during your vacation.

You mean my obsessive fixation on the update button does not influence my score??? (must assimilate this)

Yep, got the cameras all ready to go. I think my gear bag weighs more than my suitcase.

strangehost...don't forget to send in your original before you take off. After voting starts, on your image, just click on the button asking for validation and send in your original. Otherwise, if you don't, and we need proof for any reason while you're gone, if you can't submit it, it would have to be dqed.

Thanks for the reminder Heather. We just did that with Andrea's zoo shot last night so I'm all primed and ready to get it sent in as soon as the voting period starts tomorrow night.

I think he's gonna be gone before voting starts. Can he send it to you beforehand?

If you self request like this will the "This photo has been validated" phrase come up during voting?

My daughter's zoo photo was validated and that statement does not appear below it as I've seen on other validated photos. Maybe only when a DQ request has been made??

This is correct, we only add the note if people are questioning your photo. If your photo gets a valid DQ request, or people are questioning your photos legality in comments, then we add the note.
