you can't ignore us if we are always underfoot. |

My printing company did a lot of work for a group which developed just such a technology: a small USB desktop box (like a Zip drive) with a "pallette" of some 30-plus basic odors, from which HTML code in a viewed page would trigger the mixing and ejection of a specific, pre-programmed combinations. Kind of like PANTONE colors for smell ...
Fortunately (or unfortunately) they never quite made a commercial success of it, but I may still have an iSmell.com mouse pad around somewhere : ) |

| Nothing gives your desktop mouse that personal touch quite like Eau De Rodent. |

One thing I've noticed is the low voters have came out this evening. My entry climbed to about 5.5 throughout the day. Now, in just the last couple hours it plunged to 5.1.

| I'm down about .20 this evening, but it's still early. My score usually goes up slowly throughout the week. |

Ha! Speaking of Yanni, I noticed that "Yanni - Live at The Acropolis" was on PBS tonight. :-)

For me the low votes begain at about 12:35am...when I checked my scores the first time I had a 7.0 with 3 votes that was at about 12:20am by 1am I was down to a 5.9 and when I got up this morning I was at a 5.7. Now it has dropped to a 5.5...could those first 3 who voted on my image please go back and vote about 8 more times to bring my score back up some...Please.=o)

Here's one thing I've learned but its not just from the feet challenge.
I don't really care the same way I used to. I used to take it as a personal kinda thing that something I found . . . nice, expressive . . . uh, lets just say I'd photographed something I liked for the challenge. When viewers would vote it lower I just didn't like that people out there didn't see something that I saw. I thought I'd failed to convey what I saw. Now, pffffft! Who gives a rip. This photo was an attempt to capture a shot I wanted to shoot. I had some ideas and shot numerous frames in an attempt to capture one, two or three of the looks that I wanted. I produced a shot that is closer to what I wanted than I really expected I'd be able to do. Sure it has some technical parts that viewers could tick off on a list of crap to vote it down. Then again, its a photo that captured something I wanted to capture and using a technique that I wanted to use. It is more evocative than other shots I've taken for challenges so being down .5 or 5.5 doesn't really matter. I'm starting to develop a little more of an ability to visualize my shot before I shoot it and then produce what I want. People don't like it or they vote it down for some reason? Oh well, I'm happy for the comments so that'll show me what they were thinking and maybe that'll give me something to think about on the next go around but all-in-all I've just found that it ain't nothing but a thing. I had fun creating the shot and I'm very proud of producing the effects that I wanted.
The users on DPC probably have helped me to realize that as much as I respect so many people's creative abilities on here (and there are many, many of you that impress me) the collective ability to vote an image for artistic merit isn't always very high. It's easy to see a clearcut awesome shot like some of Jacko's macros or Kiwi's (insert anything creative that that dude does) but you start throwing in personal stuff like kids or making emotive photos and the scores start to get more erratic. Once the contest is over I'll post this shot and outtakes on FredMiranda and PhotoSIG just to see what kind of comments I get and I'll take all of the comments from here and those other two sites and I think I'll have some good feedback on what I might do next time to both get the shot I want and perhaps be a little more considerate of my audience.
Damn, sometimes I really ramble. Ah well. It's a forum, n'est pas?
