I realy realy wanted to submit this photo to the challenge, but got "cold feet"
I know I would score very very low, but tell me would you have laughed?
Don't forget to click on it, it needs the title!

Wow the color is sooo brilliant it just jumps off the screen!!! You almost cant see the snake swallowing the elephant.
I guess a blackout is an extraordinary event. |

| Well if I had submitted it then I would not care about the score, but decided to be a bit mature (that's very difficult for me, I'm only 34), and send in a different photo.... |

Ditto...
I passed on entering this challenge and may skip voting as well, not to hurt anyone's feelings but in my opinion there is a ton of ordinary subject matter shots in this challenge. Some very nice shots but nothing that says "Wow" to me. Ok a handful, of "I don't see that everyday" stuff.
This may have hung right around the middle of the pack me.
Philos, be careful with this kind of stuff. When you leave interpretaion to the viewer it could be mistaken for art...

I have a title: Blackbear at midnight :)
Check the lowest scoring pages many people have done this before and succesfully gotten the brown ribbon

There's another version - "Polar bear eating marshmallows in the snow" - it's solid white..
And yes I would have laughed as I scored it pretty low. But it comes closer to meeting the challenge than a "studio portrait of a person" disgused as an outdoor shot of a dog.....

Well, extraordinary is a difficult item...
It's not realy something you can get a hold on...
When tourist come to Holland (where I live) for instance, they are amazed by the mill's here they all go to the "Keukenhof" to see the flowers (Tulips mostly) and all think that's extraordinary. I think it nothing.
But, I must say, I expected to see more realy extraordinary photo's....

Hmmmm, I see this shot has been done a few times before :)
Well I am now scoring around 6 so that's to high to enter that League :) |

Holland Eh? Good luck with the soccer (football) game against Portugal today. I bet $20 on that game because I am half Dutch. I live in Canada but my dad is from Holland.

| That is extraordinary and frustrating, since my Rebel would have shown about 4 hot pixels that plague my long exposure shots. Consider yourself lucky! |

All this talk about what is and is/not extraordinary...Would this have worked? It just came to me so I ran down and shot it, would have been cleaned/staged better and a different title.
You don't see an 84" monitor and a wireless keyboard/Mouse with a 30' range everyday.

Well my rebel is 1 week old, so I expect it to be without hot pixels... |

Philos, I like your image, but think perhaps there's too much neat image? ;-)

| Personally i don't care for the border. i think a gun-metal grey would have been more appropriate. i would add more, but i have to go a re-calibrate my monitor... |

No, you're right, I see a 92" one in my living room every day. :)
