 I'm now on 121 challenges and haven't had a 4 since, in over 2 years. I think I learned my lesson :)

 I like saying the word current.

		| |  4.2 A bit of experimentation with blown out highlights and dark shadows coupled with a slight problem with the monitor.
 meant to look like this..
  (doubt if that would have fared much better.) 
 
  4.7...No excuses, just c**p

		| | My photo in my second challenge, "Once in a blue moon" got the lowest score that I will ever get on dpc hahaha... 
   4.810 - 44%
 So, no more challenges for me if I want to be safe! hehe
 
 And ofcourse I couldn't understand WHY my so very creative and original photo and piece of art got so highly underrated... why... why...? Oh, am I not the only one who thinks this way!? :-)

		| |   This was the only thing to ever drop below 4.
 
 I guess it just goes to show that you can't always agree with the voters - although this wasn't the best picture I ever took it certainly wasn't the worst.
 
 I think I got hit badly by negative votes from the "this doesn't conform to my idea of a portrait" because it didn't show a face. The lesson there is that having a slightly different 'take' on the topic than the voters hurts you worse than taking a bad photo!

 Personally, I'd rather take a great photo that I personally love, and have people mis-interpret it against the challenge, and live with the lower score... than succumb to the sheeping of the masses and stamp-produce stuff that may be technically fantastic.. but personally and emotional devoid.
 
 Or I could just be saying this stuff to mentally prepare myself for the future ;)

 one of the cool things about these threads is they do high-light images beyond the challenge.
 
 one of the cool things about the challenges is that there are really two challenges: 1) to produce as technically flawless an image that you can (and that you love), and 2) to try to wow the masses.
 
 i don't remember which thread it was, but shannon had a great summary of how his approach had evolved to where it is now:  consistent top 10's with images he enjoys.  he's a good example of meeting both challenges.

 Maybe I could have gotten a brown ribbon for it If it wouldnt have fitted the challenge

		| |   i realize it isn't stunning, but i thought it was cool to have three views of the same object.  the original, the shadow, and the reflection all in one image.
