I just submitted a "work" picture. I know it is going to do bad. Why? Because similar pictures posted in the past have done bad. Still, I submitted this. And I am not sure if I should.

Arguments for submitting:

- getting some comments on the picture anyway
- having some kind of stat in the statistics bar :)
- Just for the hell of it

Arguments against:

- The picture will pull my average down
- The picture is not representative of the pictures i know I can take.
- It is always depressing to get bad scores.

Opinions? Viewpoints? hit me!

If you don't like the photo, you shouldn't submit it :)

I am narcisistic enough to like nearly all my photos. I am just petrified that nobody else will like it ;)

I think that's a fairly common issue. I don't think anyone will be able to tell you what to do :)

I do the same thing...my work photo may not exactly what most people have in mind for work but it is someone working...I decide a few weeks ago why try to please everyone you never can just please yourself. So if the photo is appealing to you then who cares if it isn't what the majority is going to like.

I'm just waiting to see the worker bees in the work challenge...lol...I did think about that for a while but decided I would pay dearly for that.

Just make the photo yours and if the majority doesn't like it, know you submitting a part of you and enjoy knowing that you like it!
