How many of you have never had a DQ, not even a self-dq? I haven't, probably because I suck at photoshop and only do the basic stuff anyway. No fear of removing major elements here!

66 challenges entered, no DQ. Who else?

84 challenges, no DQ's. Although it was on my goals list for awhile.

i am at 65 challenges but alas i did self DQ once out of anger but it would not have been DQ'd other wise. i have been validated on just about 10% of my entrys. sadly never because of my placing.

I self DQ'd once, for a reeeealy low score.

If you're careful, know next to nothing about PS when coming in, and pay attention to the DQ controversies, it's not that hard to escape becoming a pink ribbon.

I only had one validation request, and that really did obviously push the limits. (This Yellow Picture Sucks)

No DQ's for the prancing polack. I suck too much for people to want to request validation.

95 challenges here and no DQ's or self=DQ's.
11/29/2006 07:25:57 PM · #7
No DQ's. Had one request for validation though.

Aw, your list of goals was a riot to read, didn't realize you had gotten rid of them!

dude, when did you get the D200!?!? No one ever tells me anything.

edit - my keen observations say somewhere between the 14th and the 21st. :P

I think I had one request for validation, but it was for me, personally, not for my photo. I highly recommend it though - everyone needs validation now & then. :)

53 challenges plus the ones I am entered in currently. No DQ's one VR for the straight out of the camera challenge. I try not to get crazy with photoshop but I am learning how to push it to the edge.

172 =2 self dq's.
Both from stupidity on my part.
11/29/2006 08:19:58 PM · #13
Only 43 challenges, but no DQs SO FAR, and the only validation was on my ribboner. Fingers crossed!
11/29/2006 08:26:43 PM · #14
all we need to do now is randomly pick an OLD entry from someone in this "clean list" and request for a validation... hehehehe. Hope you all still have your age-old originals and remember the editing steps! MUAHAHAHAHA *evil laughter*

Which raises the question...WHAT IS the statute of limitations on validations?

the new rules state that you can only request validation 7 days after the voting ends
11/29/2006 08:55:31 PM · #18
115 challenges, no ribbons, and no DQ's... just one validation, I think.
11/29/2006 09:42:41 PM · #19
Took 128 Challenges before I had to self-DQ because I stuck a very nice image into the wrong challenge and within a half-hour of the roll-over, decided to self-DQ rather than face all the comments, one by one, that would tell me what I had done wrong. Had a couple of validation requests but those were no hassle at all.
11/29/2006 09:51:21 PM · #20
80 challenges, 1 DQ, 1 Self DQ (I was soooo far out of the box with a bride's image that it would have been devastating for her to see the low scores), 1 image that was DQ'd and then reinstated after 2 days when I was able to show how I had done it legally, and 1 image that brought about a new ruling on RAW image dates, and a couple regular validations for top 5.

The validation for top 5 is great, those which push the limits when you don't have the steps recorded are the pits.

38 challenges, no DQs, three validation requests.
11/29/2006 10:15:53 PM · #22
No DQs but I've only entered 40 challenges (although, at this point, I have a fairly decent understanding of the rules. :) ) I highly doubt I'll ever self DQ.
