I see just too many entries that are so way off the challenge topic that it makes me look at them, wonder why the hell anyone could or would want to enter that particaular photo and why am I wasting my time.
Its come to the stage now that I am finding it very difficult to vote on any of the challenges. I am even finding it difficult to enter any challenges anymore , why bother? I can sit in a room with a candle take a hundred photo's of a Buddah (yeh it was boring) and enter it when I could have used sunlight or moonlight or whatever but then I would have felt that I had cheated everybody and I cant do that.
Karen - your photo is excellent, you did request a dq (well sort of). There is only one honourable way out... |
Let's take an example from one of your entries - "Black Beauty" from the Beauty challenge.
The challenge description:
Beauty is very hard to describe, but we all know it when we see it. Take a photo that makes the viewer say "that's beautiful."
Your entry does not meet the challenge in my opinion because it did not make me, the viewer, say "that's beautiful"
There's only one honorable way out... |

Honestly, if I were her, I would let it stand. She already requested a DQ, which is more than a lot of people would do, and she was told that not meeting the challenge is not grounds for DQ. She already has done the honorable thing... |

Actually, that's a good point. 'Light on White' could easily count as a technical challenge, as it's quite difficult to get a pure white background (well, I thought it was anyway!)
But there were plenty of non-white backgrounds entered. Should they have been DQ'd ? |

Not just DQ'd, but the photogs should be put to the sword.
