Sorry team chasing butterflies for dragging the score down a bit. It doesn̢۪t look like my death photo is going to do much better, I guess it is a little dark, maybe I need to adjust my monitor. Congrats go out to silverfoxx, lesgainous, and blue_moon on their bests . For dirt who knows I do concrete and work in dirt, that might get better reviews.

im going through a personal dilemma. i know that if i had gotten this pic in focus my score would be way up.
damn this infernal "not knowing exactly how my camera works"! |

Hello fellow suckees! Big congrats to Chasing Butterflies, and in particular to all those who got their personal bests this week!
I just got my first comment on my death entry: "Lame"
Gotta love that constructive criticism...and I promise it doesn't have any dead animals, either. |

hmm, it seems there's a quite strong (but not exclusive) gender splitin the comments on my life shot. i have 13 so far, and all th women get it, and all but one of themen are grossed out. ooo, i'm soooo evil...

by now, most of team suck realizes that i have a twisted sense of humor. but as far as photographing dead animals is concerned i'm not cool with it in this challenge. it can be done right but what i've seen are gratuitous shock attempts. it is to this challenge what "ambulance chasing" is to lawyers. it implies a serious lack of talent and vision.
i don't normally find myself this judgemental but what i've seen in these pics is just pathetic.
i will vote accordingly. |
Rarely is it difficult for me to vote in a challenge, but I had trouble looking at some of these images. You are right  sickdog, nothing more than a gratuitous opportunity for shock value...and shockingly bad photography. |

I haven't voted yet, but I saw the picture and knew it was the one you promised would be more controversial than your toilet shot. I'll leave you a comment when I vote. Actually from a strictly photographic perspective I like it. |

| Thanks to Noraneko and JuliBoc for the comments on my "Court Street Bridge". I did this with curves again. Sometimes, I think curves is what gets me in trouble. I had a better version of that picture but it had some bad spots that needed to be cloned out and this was basic editing. Curves is so much fun to play with but the voters dispise a lot of the really cool things you can do with it as evidenced by my SUCKING scores. |

Balls to the voters.
Balls.
I'm holding a 4.9 for my death pic. It is out of focus otherwise it would be doing better. But this pic means a little more to me though. There's an emotion in it that hasn't been in other pics I've been taking recently. The subject matter sucks... it sucks that I can take a pic like this but the subject matter was there and I caught it.
I think I'm going to start shooting more pics like this one.
The voters don't like the shot because it's not "technically" good but it means a lot to me.
Balls to the voters.
Balls.

Alright, Suckers, who else is in Europe and where? I'm in Wiesbaden, Germany, near Frankfurt... |

Bryantbus just gave me my 1000th comment! And it was on my DQd shot from Famous Last Words. There's something poetic in that.
Fortunately, my comments given:received ratio is still over 2. :)
As for scores, I'm doing quite well.

That raises a poll question: do people only want to hear about sucky scores? Are we allowed to share the joy of high scores here?

I want to hear about anything going on with the team, good or bad.
And your FLW pic rules! too bad it got DQed. |

| I like to hear whatever people have to share, but we should keep the suck thread to more than just a random set of scores from different challenges. There's a reasonable balance at the moment. |

Hell no, I want to hear your good scores, too! That way on the off chance I ever get any, I can share, too :-) Seriously, like the current balance on the thread - always fun to read. |

| Oh, and BTW - anyone in the South Carolina area? I'd love to have a 'shooting buddy' down here. |

The only thing I know about South Carolina is that my son went to Myrtle Beach on spring break last year and from what I gather, there was mucho alcohol involved. Imagine that!
I'm from Saginaw, Michigan, about 100 miles north of Detroit. Home of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit RedWings.

I've got a few possibles for Pet Portrait as my pets were quite plyable last night - although Charlie made up for it by stabbing my finger today.
So it looks like I may be choosing between a DPC-friendly classic "portrait" arrangement or a more comedy out of the box shot. hmm. |

 griz210 has specifically requested to be on the Hoovers and the Hoovers have notified me that  dolphnz8 appears to have been AWOL for quite a while, so we are putting her on hiatus until she reappears. I am not tracking lack of activity, so if any other team wants inactive players decommissioned, the team must notify me.

btw, both Team Minus and the OOFers seem to have only four active players, so if anyone is looking to join Team Suck...
