I am really pleased so far with my score at
6.6
and 8 views
but there is a long way to go.

There does seem to be a lot of bickering going on about this challenge, and comments from new members being alerted to this.
Whats going on out there !

Me - I'm having plenty of fun. Not taking the too site seriously, just enthusiastically...:-)

The problem with electronic mail, is that there is no Tonalodometer and if we don't know you personally, then we must assume what you say is what you mean. Now see how you've upset Richard...must watch what you say in front of the children..he's a newbie and you've got him terrified.

Is it just me, or has this thread got a tendency to go off at a tangent like no others before it?

Certainly has brought lots of people out of the woodwork...

I'm crying my eyes out, here under my bed where it's safe.. Laptop..some chips and a blanket to kill the trembling.

Please keep an eye out..for those first steps of a n00b.

and you leave your K10D unattended outside??

Shame on you! Go get it quick and give it a good hug to make it feel better! And it has shake reduction to stop the trembling :-P

2 and 3 = IQ > 70% but photo is totally NOT appealing.
4 = IQ OK but less appealling.
5 = Basic a technical good photo but nothing extra in it.
6 and 7 = Technical and in composition a good photo.
8 and 9 = Like a seven but with a bit of magic.
10 = WOW, i'm amazed this is something else.

Why a 2 and not a 3 (6 or 7) (8 or 9) this lies in subtle differences.

Can anybody tell me if this is a honest judging system because of my n00b status.

Ohh and thanks for the welcome.

Bye4Now

Well that criteria sounds good enough to me. I would say don't listen to me or anyone else ... but vote with your heart ... honest is honest ... simple.

Me personally, though, ... it would take a black or white square for me to give someone's efforts a 1 and something yet to be seen here awful for me to give it a 2.

Okay I'm bored and want to have some fun....

So what would you give a color picture of a landscape that is so blurry you can't even tell what type of landscape it is and it has a jagged bright purple border with mirrored images of the the main image all around it?? (in the B/W portrait challenge that is)

Let me see: E = mc power 2 corrected with saturated b/w image this in mirror writing so it must be negative. But i must take in account the border which are all mirrored so the reverse is the conclusion...I give up this is not for me...NEXT image please.

it's K10D but spellt in one word and also in a small form of words we use here in holland.

Kaa = the way you say 'K'
tientje = the smal word for 10
met een = with a
deeetje = small word for 'D'

On what grounds? You can't be DQ'd for taking a bad photo or not meeting the challenge (unless of course the mirrored images were pasted in).

erm ... This is a Basic Editing challenge. I don't think distorted borders of the main pic apply.

Ha - almost worked it out...in South Africa, the Afrikaans word for that would be "Kaatientjiemet'ndeetjie".

Feeling better now Richard?

B&W Portrait was Advanced Editing, and a jagged border would probably be OK for Basic anyway (as long as no images were pasted in).
