 This was my top choice in the challenge as well. I knew it wouldnt even come close to winning but the shot really grabbed me.

 I cheated this week, and just picked out from the thumbnails. Sorry, but I just couldn't bring myself to look at a hundred fuzzy flowers. Anyway, these photos leapt out at me:
 
 
  to  cutout for   
 
  to  Mephisto for   
 
  to  HollyLay for  |

 I love free studies! This one had more great photos than I had ribbons, but I settled on these stunners... and all of them just happened to be underrated photos by three of the best photographers on the site. I love when I do that! :D
 
 
  to  xianart for   
 
  to  jenesis for

		| | My Half challenge top three of those I scored highly that didn't finish in the top 20 (though I did indeed give a 10 to the DPC blue ribbon winner - absolutely perfect for the challenge AND a well thought out executed shot with a bit to think on as well.)

		| | I'm all over Don's choice of this for a ribbon. I am completely stunned by how this wonderful and unique image fared so poorly in the voting. 
 
   
 But then.......that's why we're here, isn't it?
 
 What a wonderful photograph!

 I guess it's all  question of perspective... Being in the top 16% is not what I would consider "Doing Poorly".

		| | Exactly. I know plenty of guys who can't even buy a 6.3 on this site, no matter how good their image. |

		| | Nothing personal intended to anyone - let's keep this thread as a place to post your top three non-top-vote-getting (usually) choices for a challenge but not an indepth discussion of what scores well and what doesn't.  I know that sounds dichotomous (and doubt that's a word) but I enjoy just looking at the pretty pictures.  :-) |

 Thanks Robert and Tate. And thanks to Deb for pointing out this outstanding photo:
 
 
   
 It is one of my top 10 all time favorites at DPC. I think anyone who is owned by a cat would especially appreciate the "slothiness" that Rachel's  model portrays.
