Think mine may have the same problem. Was ok on my home monitor, but quite dark on my work TFT one. Oh well...

You mean he doesn't have a ribbon? I thought he had 1 or 2 of them. Well shoot, I'm taking him out of my favorite's.

JK, Rikki, you still get 2 thumbs up.

Wow guys! Thanks for the vote of confidence. The pressure's on :) Nico, I didn't even see that comment you made earlier last night. Just got buried in our frustrations with the low scores I guess.

I must admit, I was NOT impressed with many of the entries. On the same hand, I am of the opinion "flame" & "night skies" make the hardest shots. Well, more so any lights at night.

respectable, but below average. Lots of work for a mediocre score. Well, at least I like it...

I'm really not impressed either. I voted holiday last night, then came to candles and after about half i had to give up because it was like voting on shoes all over again. I hope the 2nd half is stronger.
To me "Use candlelight to create the impact of your photo" does not mean "take a picture of a candle". There is so much you can do with an open flame, i really expected DPC to be more creative than that.

heres hoping for the 2nd half!

Well the one comment I have recieved so far confirms one thing. That my photo may well be appearing too dark on many viewers screens - even though I did take that into account and bumped the gamma abit. Bleh - if all monitors were set the same then the worry about calibration would not be an issue - especially in a challenge such as this. Ah, live and learn.

Now for some different stats:

Stats: You have rated 12 of 159 images (8%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 12 images (8%) in this challenge.

Let's see if I can actually leave comments on 25% of the works here - and I am not talking about simple one line comments:-)

I dont know about most, but I welcome ALL comments. Anything I can get to learn from is great. I try to leave comments, but mine arent as helpful "oh pretty lights" just doesnt seem to help as much as "your white balance was a little lower than I would liked and maybe next time you are shooting low light try xxxx to help"

Dr. Achoo, no fear, I expect 5.7 to be on the upper end of this challenge. I tried to use my 5 as a basis and if I was not so lazy would probably go back thru and drop most by another pt. I gave out more 3's in this challenge proportionately than any other.

I'm hoping mine that you found mine "deLIGHTful" and creative. If not perfect.

:)

I really did try to be creative and I was quite happy to have one of the more unique entries IMHO.

I think I am going to quit voting. And simply endeavor to make 20 (maybe more) good comments on each challenge.

I am trying not to feel guilty for not voting all the challenges. (Feel like such a user... *lol*)

I think I will endeavor to vote in at least the challenges I enter in if possible.

I'm not a full member yet, so I can't vote yet (obviously I didn't enter). I'm going to offer my two cents anyway.
