Is that the way you are reading them? |
I'm not sure. I was given three slots (all published) and within less than a weeks time given another three (two were rejected). Then, three days after the one published image went up, one more slot opened.

I just thought this one worth a mention and a look: Thomas and friend
(No, not a DPC'er, just a really worthwhile picture, I think) |

Jaysus, 13 pages, 608 posts, discussing what didn't make it (and what did) in another photography site. They gotta be loving the publicity LOL.

That's what I was thinking!
and thanks, I can't believe my first submission was accepted! But I did watch what Nathan entered and had a bit of a feel for what fits in there, and I think that really helped. |

I couldn’t agree more. I wonder if the screener’s objectivity is swayed at all from comments here.
It appears to me that this thread is a place for DPC members to vent their frustration at not being accepted on another site. Nothing wrong with that I suppose but it just makes me laugh a little at what the people from the other site must be thinking.

| I think it's funny that the thought of "shooting for 1x" would cross my mind--- And I don't think I'm the only one. As if... haha :) |

Ha. Well at least that's an entire site. We have one person here,  posthumous, who has managed to get others to shoot for him. I don't know if I should be impressed by that or not.

It's Deb's fault. She's making us listen to opera...and we should be grateful it's not Chinese opera...YIKES!

Opera is good once in awhile. :-)
But seriously, if anyone thinks this thread is a detriment to either site, I'll be happy to ask to have it locked. I personally see it as another avenue. Not the same as DPC, certainly doesn't take the place of DPC. I am not entirely sure the other site is happy with the attention.... Of course, if they get a few memberships out of the deal, I guess that's a plus, yes? |

Hardly. 600+ posts and a very active and lively discussion tells me that this thread is doing nothing to lose DPC any members. DPC is a good place to hone one's skills and a good testing ground for those wishing to get images published -- at 1x or wherever. And I could see myself becoming a paid 1x member someday -- just need to get a few more shots published (a situation best achieved by actually submitting shots for publication).
And I love the opera... |

| Got another one published and two more rejected. 5 published and 7 rejected so far. |

Rejected three times yesterday.
Here is one I posted for critique after being rejected.
When I had 1 approved all I could think about was having 2. Now that I have two, all I want is a 3rd approval.

I'm over the moon...
Immaterial hit the front page.
One of not too many artsy shots, I took and gave a try on 1x.
I was reading the Additional Feedback on the negative side...
"and two selected sharpness as a reason for not publishing the image."
I thought that was pretty funny. I guess they're everywhere.

Yep, another one in the 1x rejection shredder...No joy at the Opera House today.
