Hello everybody.
I am partecipating for the first time to a challenge and this site never stops to surprise me with its features.
I just realized that I can see approximately in real time how my beloved photo is behaving in the competition.
It was not without horror then, that I saw it rated around 3-dot-something.
Another wonderful feature of this site is that you can receive comments and check them out real-time.
Well.. all the comments received so far (7), even the lovely ones, state that my pic does not have not even one single right angle(s), so they feel pretty ok to kick its ass.
I am not going to tell you anything that will allow you to identify my photo but I want to help it and all the photos which do not have evident right angles.
Everybody then, is invited to guess which is my photo and where are the right angles! Otherwise you will not be allowed to complain for being bored!!!
Special thanks to Tarique whose post in this forum definitely inspired me to post mine.
Further special thanks to DPChallenge, I am not at all a flattering type, this one really is an excellent website. |

I'm guessing you won't get too many to play your game. I haven't looked at more than a few of the entries so far, so I wouldn't have a prayer...
Just a thought: Since the description of the challenge says "Create a photograph where right angles produce the strength of the image", if the viewer has to guess where the right angles are, then they probably didn't produce much, if any, strength in your image. |

Hi Scott,
thanks for the reply.
My previous post should not be taken too seriously.
I am new to this website and I am shaking waters because I like it.
My beloved photo may have strength or not, but I really posted here because I was unhappy with the mental process of the viewers.
In my serious opinion the viewer should first judge the strength of the photo and then look for the right angles in it, if any.
Much likely my photo is not very strong in the eyes of the beholders because, otherwise, they would have spent more time to look for the right angles in it.
However my nightmare is a commercial world where the advertising promised right angles creating expectations in the public which can get very angry if right angles are not delivered.
But once again, don't take me too seriously!

One of the interesting features of this site, Antonio, is the fact that there are challenge topics. There are lots of other sites that give you free reign to shoot what you will. The purpose of this one is to embrace the challenge topic, and represent it in a way that is both pleasing photographically and suitable for the challenge.
There is room for creative interpretation of course, but the winners tend to be a little more obvious.
Welcome to the site and good luck.
Pedro

Thanks Scott! =)
And thanks to Pedro for the welcome.
My username changed. I moved from my firstname to a nickname.
I felt it more in context (after receiving so many critics about the missing right angles in my pic I started losing my usual confidence).
I must say that after posting here the average of my pic did not improve. It still is 3-dot-something and that something looks less than last time.
However I got ten comments on the pic, and I always find comment useful.
Three lovely girls just wrote to say that they loved the pic.
I have to assume that the boys were jealous!!! ;)

WOW! I am flattered that I can inspire anyone other than my own self (that too I do only rarely ;)
Now please don't blame me if I have already slammed your picture in comments

Hi Tarique,
you should not be surprised to be source of inspiration! =)
You still are in my heart because you did not slam my pic in comments.
Actually you did not comment it at all and I know that, if you would have commented it, your comment would have been a bit more original than just saying "there is no right angle!" ;)

I just found another interesting feature of this website, although it is probably the less used one because people tend to do not recognize their mistakes.
You can actually change your judgement about a pic and then change your vote while the competition is still going on!
Well.. what are you waiting for?? Repent!
Go back and give my beloved photo a deserved 10!
Which is my photo?
The best one, of course! =)
