Poor taste, sorry. The person had never entered that type of shot before. Just because it's done quite a bit, doesn't mean that someone else can try it, as well.

It doesn't matter ! You don't get the point here. It's wrong to make such a rude statement - or rude joke if that's what you want too call it. A person gos out and shoots their best for a challenge expecting nothing more than a virtual ribbon and maybe a few virtual pats on the back for a job well done and then some jealous whiny ass person has to post a rude remark or suggestion. It's just wrong. This site used to be a lot friendlier and nicer until people started bashing others here for what they chose to shoot, or how they chose to shoot it, or how the interpret a challenge theme. It's getting very annoying. |

I hear you and agree with you, in the sense that it's wrong and annoying, but I disagree with you that it's getting worse. My experience of DPC goes back nearly 6 years, and I can remember times when the putting-down of clichéd entries was much more overt than it has been lately.
Anyway, I blame the voters, if there's "blame" to be apportioned, not the shooters. I'm all in favor of people experimenting with and perfecting the tried-and-true; I just sometimes wish the more truly original were more often rewarded.

Take that, you jealous whiny ass person!
Good thing the referenced photo did so well and received a bit of humorous fun. Would've really sucked for him had he submitted a crap shot and gotten repeatedly abused in comments like most of us. |

Yes. It is the majority of voters who encourage redundancy rather personal growth and experimentation. We need to see beyond a technically pretty image. Take Deb's image for instance, a less common interpretation of a sunset, what a soothing image and use of color.
