I am soooooooo in!!! LOL!!!
I would just like to state for the record that I *KNEW* I was finally gonna break 6.0 in this Free Study 'cause I had TWO slammin' entries, and I started out at 5.0 after 18 entries!
I have yet to break 6.0 in a Free Study since I've been at DPC.

I just hope I don't drop below a 5... so yeah, I definitely think my image is being under-rated and would love to participate.

| There have been a number of times where I thought an image I had submitted would do better than what I ended up with. I agree that the competition is extremely stiff on DPC for all challenges, but I don't mind entering as long as I know I'm going to get some constructive feedback. 95% of my shots barely make it to 5.5, so I'm a perfect participant for this group. Please count me in. Cheers, Sandra. |

Wow - who knew the crowd would be so big! I'll eventually get all the names added to the list. And yes, Robert, I'm sure we'd all be delighted if you'd participate - FS entry or not!
Hang in there. Just because DPC doesn't love it doesn't make it a bad photograph. (I'm thinking of having that tatooed to the inside of my eyelids.) |

I would suggest that those of you "flirting with 6" at the moment will be over 6 by week's end. And in my book, "flirting with 6" is doing just fine. I have one of those in another challenge and I ain't complainin' at all about that one.
I do have additional feedback this morning, and it's very valid feedback - to viewers (at least the ones who have commented) there's no point to my picture. That's fair enough. I suspect a lot of times my pictures engender that reaction. Sometimes what we choose to shoot, and how, doesn't resonate with others well. Since the vote here depends on acceptance at a general level, to an audience with a very wide background, the evil "lowest common denominator" comes into play. Hence, lovely landscapes (pretty colors and excellent composition, of course) will tend to dominate, along with well-executed extreme macros and a few other proven subjects. I do not say this is bad!! It's not. It just can get frustrating if all anyone is after is a good score. :-) |

Don't forget adding a mist of water on everything except glasses...and shots of water (or other liquid) drops, especially if they are refracting another image in them. |

Heh!! My mom always picks the losers, too. But we both like the same things, so I figure if she likes it, I'm good (though not scorewise!) I have to admit she wasn't overly thrilled with the one I have in now, though... |

can't join. I'm happy to be in high-five-land for my free study and I know exactly why it's not scoring over a 6.
If you make a thread like this for the Ice challenge, let me know! |

You're always welcome to pitch in after the challenge with input if you wish. If someone wants to start a thread for any of the other challenges, go for it! (I'm not in any of the other challenges.) |

OMG!! That very same thing happened to me! Wanting to please my mom. If I had had a moment of sanity, I probably would have seen the fatal flaws in my image, but mom said she liked it. |
