I have a feeling that the color will do much better than the B&W on DPC.

What does everybody else think?

I think you should go with the fuzzy, out-of-focus one...

Even if I did that to my photo, it won't change much :)

Make it a selective desat and you get the best of both worlds. ;)

This will be my first entry since May. The hurricane really put a damper on things. This will also be my first entry with the 20D. I'm hoping for a 6.0.

I have an entry in the Free Study that I love. I keep looking at it wondering what could be torn apart about it, and I don't see anything. To me, it's perfect and should score great -- but I have been sooooo wrong before, and still have those dreadful fears of waking up to those scores that make you want to crawl under a rock for a week.

I wouldn't worry, I see great images that get poor votes all the time. Just keep in mind the expertise of most of the voting pool. It's not like they are skilled and knowledgeable professional judges.

Well, I'm number 368. I hope my entry isn't perceived as being to dark. It's a pain trying to adjust an image for non-calibrated monitors.

Ha, I love it. Trash talking like this is an art form in itself.

Unfortunately for you, I completely reprocessed my image and it came out even better as well...
