I want to thank all who replied, as well as those who posted comments after the voting. They were almost all helpful in my understanding of what went wrong here. I think that for one thing, I was a bit too emotionally attached to the challenge. Just out of curiosity, would this outtake have done any better? This was my first choice, but my "advisor" convinced me that the other was "higher impact".

Sorry for the absence recently, but I've been in transit from holiday visit. Hope that all have a great new year!

PS I sense this scenario happening alot; People register after stumbling upon the site (i stumbled upon this site via search engine) and vote through a challenge giving horrible votes and sometimes comments. I don't see anyway around this while still being fair to the 'open' people surfing the site.

Interesting point - maybe we should make it a rule that you have to enter a least 1 challenge before you can vote and until they did they would be allowed to make comments only?. Just an idea

OUCH! I can't figure out how to get the image through My Profile. It is only in the workshop area of my portfolio. Sorry to be so dense.

All you need is the image id.

The quick way is to use the last button above the post window and enter the image id in the text box.

Open the picture up in your portfolio, then to the left (about half way down) you'll see something like View Photo Page, this will open up the photo. You can then copy and paste the URL, or grab the number off the end and insert a thumbnail into the forum.

Ahh...you could also just move the photo out of your Workshop folder into the root of your portfolio, or create a new folder and place it in there. The "Workshop" folder is private.

It can't be number 2. The image id is probably a six digit number (the number after IMAGE_ID=.

Here's the link to one of mine:

Below is the image id between thumb tags

Ya got it!!

I think I like the pose in your entry better. The only thing maybe would be to change the position of the frisbee in the first one but I feel the perspective in the first gives more impact.
