Oh well you beat me to it, I have to say the ribbon winners are very ordinary, but I guess it was over 9 years ago!

Didn't realize there had been an earlier one, thanks. Looks like it was way back in '03 and the 6.96 winner might probably only pull a high 5 in today's DPC environment.

no diss on the previous entrants, but i would agree the quality tended toward "snapshots" |

| Looks like a border was OK, back then. |

Has something changed? I thought a border was ok now too...
This is a rather ambiguous topic... lets see what I can shoehorn in! |

It's ok according to the rules but the general feeling is that shots with borders get voted down a bit. At least that's what I've seen in discussions.

back when people put away the fancy equipment and took risks. |

Time to test that theory. |

I've tested the border patrol a few times. There are a few folks that don't like them and will always knock off pointage for them. They will say borders are just fine "when used appropriately", but you can't use a border and have them all agree that it is appropriate usage. I sometimes taunt them intentionally.

 and 
Nary a 1 2 or 3 vote
ETA:
I think letterbox type frames are by FAR the most effective, and white or black borders do better than colors or gray.
Take a look for yourself, the proof is in the pudding.

Good Luck to all who enter this challenge! Looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with.
I really wanted to do this challenge, but availability of models and time to shoot just did not come together....another one for the back burner:-( |
