:o( |
Enter it to Free Study :) |
jeez, you know i hadn't even considered that.
assuming i take no better shots this month. . .i may just do that!
:o)
Linc: sorry. . .i feel the same way about those who moan about 6.7-7 scores.

| Common language division notice - I really didn't know silverware was a synonym for cutlery. |

The description didnt give you a hint????
Knives, forks and spoons. We eat with them; now take a photo of one or more of these items. |

Just guessing, but I think what he meant was that most folks (though there are indeed some!) don't eat with butcher's knives. :-) |

How would you know the difference between silver and stainless steel from a photo? |

I don't know that people really actually read the discriptions! There were three of the top 20 in "Color on Color" that were white. White is not a color, since it has no hue.

It is still a little discouraging since this is only my second submission but I actually tried to be witty, clever, as well as having a good photo. Should have picked a different knife. The finish makes it look out of focus when it isn't.
Ok, so with free-study I just take a picture of something that I find interesting regardless of the content. Got it. But the advance editing always gets me. I am friends
with Gimp, but I think he has better friends he spends his time with.

 Linc, the best thing for new DPC members to go and check out the previous winners. There is a pattern in DPC, if you can find the concept of the pattern; you should not have any problems getting 5+ 6+ even 7+'s |

If you can't, then that explains a lot, but it might depend on the photo.
I'm not complaining, by the way, just noticing the linguistic wossname... |

Jeeez...Never do that. We could have warned you but it's too late now. ;)
Kidding of course. My bet is you'll easily break a 5....I'd even bet on it.

I've been climbing with each vote, so I'm confident that I'll break a 6 at some point. Good enough for me in an Open Challenge. I swore the Opens off but I actually had a shot that fit so here I am slugging it out.

Technically, black is the absence of all color, white is all the colors mixed. |

First entry for me also. I'll take it. At least it's not going to brown? Maybe?
I actually liked one of my other shots a smidge better, but I thought it might suffer thematically.

4.5! The average score on DPC was 5.5, this shot is a 5.0, slightly below average, but still a fair shot.
It seems voters lately have blinkers on. I wasn't expecting a 6.0, but the title states the obvious, perhaps no-one can see the obvious anymore and are looking for deeper meanings?
My last few challenges have suffered the same fate. I can take boring average shots, and the scores that go with them...but now, I am asking myself if it is all worth the effort! |

White may technically be all the colors mixed...but, they have zero saturation and therefore no hue, such as neutral grays and black...which all but makes those entries DNMC.

White

I was surprised at some of those entries too, but what color is (fresh) snow? If the answer is white, well... |

After 100 votes I have a total of 3 comments.
Is this what's to be expected in all challenges? Is this the norm? |

It seems that those that get buried in the middle of the pack get the fewest comments. They don't strike a cord in any significant way to entice anyone to comment.
Also, it's still early. Some people vote first, comment later.
