All progress is made by deviants, since progress requires deviation.

Counterpoint: Deviance in isolation is just different. Progress requires mass acceptance. Picasso is lost in anonymity unless others appreciate the work, and that appreciation is easily measured here. There's no reason one can't be creative AND appealing.

You seem like still learning. So, I re-suggest my idea to you. Enter as much as challenges you can, no matter what. Even if you're traveling, grab your camera, shoot and upload. Maybe, just maybe, that's what's missing.


To tell yo the truth, I actually feel the exact opposite after this whole discussion. I think I need to step away from DPC and not talk to people here at all. I visit here to get inspired, but this whole thing just pretty much turns me off and away. So I am done talking and discussing. Time to get on with life.

I think it would be interesting if, instead of having to vote on a minimum of 20% of the entries, people were restricted to a maximum of 25% of the entries, with each voter being assigned a random 25% block of images. Without the pressure to vote on a large number of pictures, they might be inclined to consider the images they do get to rate a bit more extensively.


AND/OR a forced 10-15 second waiting period before a vote is allowed to stop the 5 5 5 5 7 5 5 8 voters and force people to really look at an image before voting. it would decrease the number of votes but increase the quality/appreciation of them, IMO (and it might even discourage the 1 1 1 7 1 1 1 7 voters AND those 15 seconds might find voters bored enough to comment more while they wait?)


I can tell you for a fact (because I know it to be true) that there are several people on this site who make several passes before they complete their voting. The number of 5 votes are in all probability attributable to the fact that a lot of images fall into that category. You will not discourage people like myself from doling out a score of one if I truly indeed believe that is what the image warrants.

As for the comments............Meh.......... too many fall into the "Oh that's nice" category and are not really worth much.

But hey... that's just me.
