 Okay, enough celebration - I had some time so I just totally spoiled that goal for some people:-)

 No, not at all. Deb, you have done sooooo much by commenting and calling out the vote in the past. I am NOT expecting you to do anymore. You have done a good chunk of the commenting on this challenge already. Challenge stats reads 100 comment given so far and you have done more than half of that. 
 
 I was poking fun at myself (and others) who desire comments but fail to spend just a little time giving them out. So, I kicked myself and spent some time commenting.

		Ha!  I've done more than half of all the comments given?  Wow!  (I should be a really good photographer by now, based on improving by giving comments...)
 
 I will try to do a few more this evening, but please be aware that pink is not my favorite color... :)

		| You all just raised my spirits.  I am quite new, and boy was it a shock to experience some of the downright rough voting.  I loved the photos in this challenge and while I was proud of my photo it always amazes me how so many folks take truly amazing shots in the short time a challenge is open. |

 Try not to worry about it too much - if you'd like help understanding why, just post a thread, after the challenge, and ask for opinions.  No doubt you'll get a good idea what went wrong.
 
 An easy thing you can do to understand just how normal this is: pick anyone who's won a few ribbons, and you'll see that they usually had some pretty low scores at the beginning of their DPC experience as well. |

 Many of them continue to have frequent low scores as well as the occasional lucky shot.

		It's also important to know that the entries that tend to score mid-pack on DPC will also have your friends and family wowing and saying you missed your calling in life.

		| I just try really hard to only enter my worst shots into challenges so that way no one can tell how good I really am. It helps to keep the groupies under control :) |

 This is an ongoing controversy here!  Just search the forums.  Time after time again you will see it.  
 
 But remember... don't worry about your score.  It's all about learning.  :)
 
 Then again, I'm no ribbon winner... but I'm ok with that.

 Yeah, I've tried this...  Still doesn't keep   Cory from standing outside my house begging to get an autograph... |

 Why would my parole officer want my signature? He has my DNA on file. |

 Hey, you got an 8 from me for your Cat entry :-)  And if you want to see some really bad entries, feel free to cruise through the first few years of my port - always good for a laugh :-)
 
 Meantime just hang in there and shoot and enter.  Only way to learn how this crazy place works. |

 Thank you Deb - you went above and beyond. Given that pink is not your favorite color, I'm sure you are glad that it will not come up again for a few years:-);-)
 
 Will try to get a few more comments given in myself if time permits given that I have 5 things outside of DPC on my plate.... |
