So how long has it been since your personal best score?
For me, it's been almost three years now. It's been 2 1/2 years since I've changed out a photo in my top five. I'm guessing I'll die before I get a new PB, but you never know! :-)
You? |

| I've had a good year. Three new ones in my top 5. But, they are still few and far between. It was quite a while before that. |

October 15, 2011 will be the five year anniversary of my high score (and my only 7+).
My high position (4th) was this past October.

No, no...not depressing, but telling with regards to what the DPC community finds appealing these days. :)
I'm going to stay true to me and what I like to shoot, so I may never have another PB! :P |

true dat.
:) the *reality* of it for me is that I am actually making money now (wasn't when the bests were achieved, or not as much), and I feel i am a much better photog then i was then. if i really gave myself time to create, set up, shoot and edit as i did on some of those high scorers, i could probably get back up there. |

I'm in the same boat as you Kelli. I've had 3 images since the beginning of the year rotate into my top 5 pushing a few long standing shots out. Two of those are in my 1 and 2 spot and the other currently in 4th.
As for my PB, that was only back in April when I got my first and only ribbon to date...BUT that photo and the number 2 photo down my Piano Man shot down to third which HAD been my PB for a very long time. So I've had my moments this year and hopefully I can continue building on that trend a little before it goes stagnate again. LOL.

| I started with a few 6s when I joined and then went into frequent 5s and 4s :) Even a well deserved Brown! But 3 months ago I gave up on experimentation and went back to what I really like - moody landscapes. This has worked very well - I replaced all 9 top images in my profile in that time and got a new PB every 4 weeks. It is kind of nice when what one likes is also appreciated by others! My current PB will be hard to beat though. |

| Back in 2005 my third challenge entry got me the blue, my personal best score and what I consider one of my top five personal favorites. A 7.38 is very hard to beat. I know some will think me an odd bird but I am happy that it has not been dethroned. |

| I have had the same PB since 2005, which I slowly began to truly hate. This year I pushed it two steps to the right and missed a third by 0.011. The popular style shifts in waves. |

New personal best, and I didn't expect it to do well. I can never guess what people will vote for :) |

| 2010 was good for me. I pretty much replaced all bar one of my top 5. I did manage this year to knock number 5 off, but doubt I'll see a new PB any time soon. |

I think maybe you should try doing soap bubbles.
:P |

But it would have to pass your approval. Would a shot from inside looking up at one of William's flying frogs do the trick?

| My two 7+ scores were in consecutive challenges, way back in October 2007. And my highest score only came in 6th in that challenge. |
