Justin's thread reminded and inspired me, but I didn't want to hijack his, so I started my own! I signed up for DPC on December 4th last year and shot for my first challenge on December 24th! It seems like just yesterday, still, and, frankly, it was a pretty bad entry - and it did pretty bad, too!

Even if it isn't obvious to anyone else, I can see how my photography has improved over the last year, even though none of my favorite shots ended up in a challenge.

I've learned so much just from watching and reading here - thanks so much, DPC!

Bump - because I'm bored and feeling unloved. :P

Hey! Good for you! I still have a lot to learn before I can get a six in a challenge, you've got a couple already. Keep it up!

Hi Charlene :O)
It's blatantly obvious how much you've improved in the short time you've been here.

Looking at your first entry, and comparing it to the last 7 (I had to stop looking after Hairy Toes) ;O)... there's simply no comparison. Just looking at where you've come with your composition, framing, DoF, and processing.

I've been here for 1.5 yrs, and I've definitely seen the same progression. There's nothing like this place!

Happy New Year - looking forward to seeing you kick some butt in '08!

OMG! We're DPC twins! Except I was under the impression you've been here a long time - you're photography is just beautiful!

And thank you, too, Roba - I remember several of your shots from various challenges! The encouragement does make me feel warm and fuzzy!

One of my goals going into the next year is to comment and vote more in challenges. I stopped for awhile because I felt obligated to go 100% and that was a bit overwhelming. But I'm learning so much when I just go 20% and take the time to really look at the photographs and make any comments that pop into my head!
