You were thinking that everyone else might have done the same, thus making your shot's *relative* quality that much better. ;) |

| It is okay to make these submissions. They inspire you to correct the error by trying to outdo yourself on the next challenge. |

At least you knew what you were getting. I entered a shot I thought would do fairly well (low 6) and yet it's doing very poorly. Sometimes you just never know.

| Kinda funny... that became my mantra after my last submission, and as a result, I've become so self-critical that I haven't entered a photo in a very long while. I think there's got to be a middle ground. Having said that, the recent 'words' challenge made me glad I didn't submit... mine was really bad comparatively. Hmmm. |

Really, I had a good photo and realized about an hour before deadline that I'd not followed the basic rules. So in a sad and pathetic effort I submitted something I entered a lesser photo. I shouldn't have and am getting the poor score I deserve. I am relieved to hear others made the same mistake on the editing of this challenge.
I'm going to re-read the basic rules and then head out to purchase large amounts of chocolate to console myself errr.... work on the next challenge. |

| Good plan, Debi. I've managed to have an entry in at least one challenge every week since I joined in February. Some of those really should have been held back, and I'm starting to recognize the difference. I suspect a lot of people are doing the same just to participate. |
