A finger is a part of a hand
a hand is a part of a arm
a arm is a part of a body
a body is a part of a community
a community is a part of a town
a town is a part of a city
a city is a part of a state
a state is a part of a country
a country is a part of a planet
a planet is part of a solar system
a solar system is part of a galaxy
a galaxy is part of the universe
The Universe is the end
- so I think the only thing you can't take a picture of is the Universe (So goodluck under an hour to go)

We've yet to discover what the universe is part of :) So if you get a picture of it, I'd say it meets the challange... But I'd really like to see the lens you'd use :)
On the thread subject, the more entries the merrier... It ain't broke :) No need to fix it...

I like things just the way they are. I think some are just afraid of a little competition.....the more the merrier....before I even seen this thread....I wasn't going to enter just didn't have the time...when I seen how many entered I just had to pull one together. I started at 10:30 and submitted at about 11:45. and then I seen this thread...LOL too much

I think this is totally unfair.

Perhaps if the challenges were also geared toward the 'challenge' of being one of the first, say, 100 entries to qualify?
Any thoughts? :) |

1. (10 points) Define the universe. Give three examples.
But seriously, folks.
Despite everything being part of something else, everything's also complete unto itself, really. A brick is part of a wall, but it's also just a brick. A hinge is part of a door, but it's also a hunge unto itself. This being my first challenge, I really wanted to get it 'right', but I ended up unsure if what I was submitting even fit the theme. |

Besides .... no matter what people debate is a part or not a part here, as far as DPC goes people should ask ... will the voting public see this as a "part" or not ... as despite semantics, that is what will determine if people think it fits the challenge.

Current theory is that there are mulitple universes. Therefore if there are more than one, even the universe is part of something

| Seems to me that it would be unfair to limit the # of submissions. You don't have to vote on all of them, and you don't have to comment on all the ones you vote on. I agree - over 400 is a lot of pictures, but if it were limited, you or I might be the ones out of the playing. |

Though I see the problem with limiting the entries. I still worry that the more entries there are, the less comments we'll get. With small challenges (less than 100 entries), i get about 5 to 10 comments. So far, on Parts, 65 votes and NO comments :(

| I was just about to rant about the "nice, I like it" comments, but then I thought about it and realized that yes, I like getting this type of comment, event if it doesn't help me with technique or whatever. It makes me feel good that a person took time to say "I looked at your picture and instead of hopping along to something else I took the time to say Good Job". So maybe even if people can't really comment on many pics because of time or whatever, maybe you could just put down a few words of encouragement. Thank you to those that have. |

Limit of 200 would be nice :-)
Voting on 300 photos is boring... |

| so who wouldn't upload a "dummy" submission on the first day just to hold their spot until they can switch it? That's what I'd do :) |

Here's a good sentence: what is it that that thing the universe is part of is part of? |

Having read throught this thread and its diversion to the definition of "part", I have an idea.
What do you think about having the ability to make a submission to a challenge based upon your feedback given to feedback received ratio?
It seems that an overwhelming number of people give a minimal amount of feedback especially when this number is compared to the feedback they receive.
I think in addition to participating in the challenges part of our responsibility to the community is that of leaving feedback. I definitely think that these two things should be somehow tied together.

First off, i have to say i completly disagree with a maximum number of submissions per challenge. That's just not fair for everyone, as some will 'plan' their shoot for the upcoming weekend because they work 60+ hours a week, but still enjoy DPchallenge.
Second, call me hardcore, but i really think that its time to 'force' users to vote and offer constructive comments. 20% vote is just not enought. If you are gonna vote, do it for all the pictures. And for the ones saying it takes too long, just split the work between a few days. I usually to around 50 pics a day, for a whole week. And as i go, i add comments on the ones that i think are really good, and really bad.
I'd go with a 99% vote (i case of applying yourself) and 20% comments. Enought with the 1s and 10s that are out of place, and that will force the 'extra' users to simply boost their score and lower everyone else's.
That's my 2cents.
oh also, don't need to vote on every single challenge, take a break once in a while.

My thread got locked because it duplicated other threads [I should of searched threads first, my fault] so I will place it here if that’s ok. I think it’s worth a debate
WOW this week was hard voting on 946 entries. Takes a long time to do that and do it efficiently. I propose a Cap on the amount of entries per challenge. Below is how I think it should work. Please comment and see if you think it will work or not.
1. Place a cap of 200 entries per challenge. Only the first 200 entries will be in the challenge.
2. If there are 200 entries already you can still submit your photo. It will be held incase someone un-submits his or her photo. This way a person cannot submit a photo just to be guaranteed to be in the first 200 entries. If someone un-submits their photo then photo #201 take there place and they go to the back of the line.
3. I believe everyone should vote on all entries in that challenge. The 20% voting rule does not make everyone unique voting style work to its full potential.
4. By decreasing the amount of entries to 200 it will help voters in achieving 100%.
I have several more reasons to believe that this type of cap system will work but I will save them unless someone ask. Can we debate this concept?

Exactly why some people cannot vote on 946 photos and comment on 200. They want to use their time for family and maybe go do some shooting themselves.
You forget there are alot of people on dialup still. How long does it take for one image to load?
Some other things to think about.

#1 Disagree. It takes longer for some people to come up with an idea or they just have no time to photograph anything until last few hours of the deadline.
#2 It would only work provided a user HAS to unsubmit the photo before replacing it.
#3 Agree. Or at least increase the percentage for the vote to count.
#4 It would work provided #1, #2 and #3 are accepted.

With only 200 entries for an open challenge i don`t think the site would attact many new members and existing members will get fed up being locked out of challenges.
This site is now also about making money with DPCprints so i can never see there being a limit on entries.
What will happen, and has happened is more challenges and maybe there will be categories within the open challenges ie age/camera type.

#1- I know is hard because I usually don’t come up with my submitted photograph until a day or two before the time ends. So I would have to be quicker But this would make the challenge more challenging. You have to be prepared to take that photo whenever the opportunity arises. And it gives less time to PS it.
#2- You DO have to un-submit a photo before you can replace it. And you can’t have 2 entries in one challenge.
#3- I agree even 50% would be better than 20. The only reason I believe people should vote on all or [compromise] most entries is because some [not all] of the people that are voting on just 20 percent try to judge the thumbnail to see if its worth opening and voting on it. And some of these people are the same ones that vote a picture a 1 if its to small and leaves a comment “to small to judge”. If a picture is to small to judge adequately then looking at a thumbnail to determine if a picture is worth voting on is also inadequate.
#4- The above would make it work in my opinion.
