This is the first free study for me. How do you choose? I must have changed mine about 6 times now. Now none of them look good anymore. hahahah.

They're even harder to do well in. You're up against everyone's best of the month. Passing everyone is no easy task.

All you need to remember is the one you choose will be the wrong one so choose one then change you mind!

Ooo great. hahhah.

oh....just pick any random photo for the freestudy...it'll be the wrong one, and then just focus on doing well in the outtakes thread!

My method is to show my potential entries to my wife. The one she likes the least will do well. The one she thinks is great is guaranteed no more than a mediocre score.

I am now offering this patented system as a service to other DPC member. For a modest fee (please have your credit card ready) my wife will review your potential challenge entries. You merely have to choose the one she likes the least and you will be assured of a good score.

I believe you are actually enfringing on my patented DPC Photo Entry Readiness Method. My patent covers not just my wife, but all wives...

Mine is the opposite. Everytime I don't listen my entry bombs. When I do I score great!

My girlfriend used to be good at picking out good photos for challenges....too bad we broke up. I should have kept her around just for the challenges!

*lesson to be learned....all you married people out there should just get girlfriends on the side for picking challenge photos*

All my highest scored shots are the ones my wife has ended up picking. When I don't listen, they tank.

Will this work with men too or do only women have the right answer?

I think someone else holds the patent on that concept.

I can assure you it doesn't work with husbands. The answer I usually get are, "they're all nice, just pick one". ROFL!

You must have an opinionated spouse for this method to work. Your husbands answer is what she gets when she asks me about her kitting. (Or is it crochet?)

Just don't try to shoehorn one in and you'll do just fine.

You even have to ask?? Most men have already learned that, when it comes to women, there IS no right answer.

Sigh... those of you whose spouses pick, even when they pick wrong, are lucky. I can't even get mine to LOOK at mine. If I dare ask, he heaves a bigger sigh than when he's asked to take out the garbage. :(
01/29/2009 03:19:46 PM · #22
just don't answer the fat question about the pictures ..
(I.E. does this picture make me look fat?)
01/29/2009 03:41:04 PM · #23
I have a feelnig my free study is going to tank!

And the correct answer to any of your wifes questions, is the worst answer...."do I look fat in this picture?" answer: "Yep, you look like a freakin' whale" Bet she won't ask that question again...

hmm...maybe thats the reason why I'm single now!
