Yay brown ribbon and an apology - DPChallenge Forums

02/05/2007 12:05:33 AM · #1

I decided for the Nude challenge that I would go for the brown ribbon knowing that nobody would want to see me nude and I didn't have anyone to pose for me. What i didn't expect was the number of people that would vote and comment. While I am happy with the amount of people that commented on my entry I am conflicted because I feel I may taken comments away from people that tried to make a good photo. I started to comment on the entire challenge but couldn't finish so i decided to post this.

First I would like to appologize to all of those that wasted thier time commenting on my peice of crap and to those that didn't get those commentors time. I would also like to thank all of those (75 as of this time) that tried to help someone that they thought needed it. some commented more than others and I would like to single out the follwoing people that proved they are an asset to this website and left more than one line of comment.

there were also a couple of bagheads(i am typing this before rollover)

I would like to offer a comment to anyone that commented on my shot and also anyone that entered the nude challenge for wasteting all of your time. please post the picture you want me to comment on here or just post "anything from my portfolio" and i will try to find something with not very many comments. Also if you liek you may "donate" your comment to a low scorer and i will vote comment on the lowest scorers in tuesday's results. I will match each donated comment and if there are not enough entrys under 5.5 i will carry them over till next week.

BTW if going for the brown in the future don't do it in one that will get so many votes:)
my pre nude avg 5.3896
my post nude avg 5.3184

and that si with 73 challenges under my belt that hurts:)

BTW I was was scared i was gonna lose to the banana shot and it was close. glad my 2.7 wasn't for nothing. it is kinda cool having gotten in the top 525 commented photos of all-time, too bad i can't do ti with something good:)

pretty funny to play for the brown!! i remember this shot and i duly gave it a score of 1 ... :)

2.55 overall ... that's pretty damn low. not quite the sub 2.5 you were looking for, but close!

good job! LOL

some people give 10s when they think someone is going for the brown. they total screwed me from getting below 2.5 though:)

In the armpit? Is that what that was? I thought that it was someone bent over with a banana between their legs. I was almost going to email the site council because it looked so "wrong" and pornographic. Then again, I wasn't sure about the location of the banana so naturally I didn't.

In any event, they could redo the shot for the fruits and veggies challenge. (And try for brown again?)

Sorry, it wasn't an armpit... was an elbow...(typing faster than my brain) it was obvious after staring at it for 10 minutes... LOL
