 6.044  6.444
I took a past entry from the Something Old II challenge, an image that many liked but said they would have liked it better if I removed two buckets and a blue object at the bottom. I did just that.

Original 5.196 Triangle just under a year ago
 second attempt 5.284
Not a huge jump in score and a huge drop in % but I am really pleased to see the difference and see how much I have learned in the time I have been on DPC.

Well, at least I improved my score by more than a point. Also position is better, but it was a risk, since the subject ordinarily doesn't do well with dp anyway. Here are the two images. Both are titled Shadow Play, and the original was in the Long Exposure Challenge. Why I chose this one is because I did get a few favorites from the original, and also most commentators indicated it could be improved, but nobody said that the subject was bad, so I assumed it was a good subject. Wrong again.

Seems like plain old courtesy to link to the original image if that's the point of the challenge. It has nothing to do with intelligence. I tried to post a link in my comments section and I couldn't get it to work. Now, THAT is dumb. :)
This is my original:
 4.72
and this is my "improvement":
 4.296
I tried making the subject bigger and fixing the white balance. I even applied some "grunge" to the background. This is what I learned at DPC. To be honest, I think I like the original better, too...
By the way, thanks to Judi and Rikki for arguing with me. I woke up this morning with several new comments and favorites! :)

btw, Judi, I just wanted to say that even though you clearly know what you're doing, garnering a higher score for your new shot, that I actually like your original better. It conveys the point of old vs. new (I didn't even make the connection on the take 2 shot) and has a certain poignance to it, whereas the new one just has the visual interest of the hand position. I'd say it was more like a fashion shot. But that's what you get for trying to fix something that ain't broke! ;)
