Yes I fear you are probably right. |
I agree. I too am glad mine is original and totally meets the challenge..LOL I am trying to be careful to rate each photo that meets the challenge for what it is..........not what it is over and over and over again...LOL |
I was actually going to do the poker cheater shot also since I was having friends over to play cards anyway but ended up not doing anything.
My other shot idea (and I'm totally surprised to see it wasn't submitted) was to take a stuffed animal squirrel and photograph me placing it in a tree stuffing more cotten in it. Maybe it was too long ago for people to remember the thread from Chit (So many blatent cheaters) and do one. ;)

Originally posted by livitup: Well, the two shots I did for this challenge ended up being the two most popular subjects, so I guess I'm in the company of great minds. I had a third idea, but I just couldn't get it to photograph well... oh, well this is only my second member challenge and I'm not doing too horribly...

No problem...craps is a dice game. A good explanation of what it is can be found here if you want to broaden your knowledge of casino gambling. |

Nobody even came close to my idea and it is bouncing between 5.4 and 5.5. There are so many things with my shot that are firsts for me both in equipment, techniques used and processing. I don't care if it tanks, I am very pleased with the end result. |

Mine shot seems original, and I like it, but alas, the voters seem to disagree. Ah well. Here's keeping my fingers crossed I can at least hit a 5.

Currently going down... started at 6.xx (with 10+ votes) and now at 5.47 with 55 votes.
It is not the score alone that is frustrating. For the single light challenge, I am hovering around 5.3, being under 5.0 for some time. When I look at my 'light' and the effort that went into it including coming up with the concept, I am happy with 5. However, when I think of the amount of effort that took to setup my cheater, shoot it, process it multiple times until I got what I wanted, is really sucks that it goes downhill like this.
oh well... as skiprow puts it,

...really, don't sweat it. if you got overlooked and didn't rake in the comments, then you didn't connect. better luck next time. don't fret, just go shoot something. i'm not kidding. make yourself happy first. just don't put your camera down because you aren't happy with your scores. |
I am proud of my cheater, and I think that I'll put it on my profile page as a permament fixture until I have something else like that.

Like I said, keep that brown ribbon warm for me...
On the bright side, I didn't see another photo with my topic. On the overly bright side...we won't go there. |

I'm surprised.. I almost pulled my shot out before the voting started because I was expecting a high 4/low 5. I woke up to a 6. I'm more than happy with the 5.9 it's at now.

Mine did the same thing. At 5 votes it was a 6.2, at 55 a 5.49. Ah well. I knew it wouldn't last. :)

Am afraid I couldn't enter this challenge. I wanted to do the "hand in the bank" with a set up monopoly board. I went to shoot the photo and my daugher kindly informed me that we lent the game to my in laws! lol Good luck to all in the challenge! From what I can see, I think it will be a high scoring challenge! |

Yes, I'm actually doing a dance like that, while chanting "Go Rikki". I think it was a daily chant for the Riki Lake show, if you ever saw that. :-D
