Ever enter something and immediately wish you could undo it? I kept thinking that I really wanted to enter something into the Three challenge. It was bugging me. It's such an easy sort of challenge, and so fun to do, but I just couldn't think of anything to photograph. Then, with 20 minutes until the submission end, I decided that I just had to enter something, so I got out my camera and snapped a shot. One. I edited it, and submitted it with 2 minutes left. I went back to it, saw some things I missed, edited it again, went to upload.... out of submission phase. Ack!

I haven't had the desperate urge to enter any challenge in quite awhile, and now I'm going to paaaay for it. Anyone else go temporarily insane and do this sort of thing?

I feel ya i'm having one of those nights too. I just realized that my laptop is 10 minutes slow so I missed out too.

Looks like I shouldn't have submitted either.

Gee lucky you, I submitted in time a shot who's composition I love, but it's focus is soft.I never should have put it into concideration here. 3.75 so far, if I could switch positions with you I would.

The first several voters have been pretty harsh indeed. Let's hope for a brighter tomorrow

Phew, maybe it is just a slew of picky voters tonight.. results have been dismal so far

I didnt enter, and I just looked through the entires and really didnt see anything too spectacular

Also not to happy with mine. The description of the challenge didn't say anything relating that voting should include 3's, did it ;)

Yup...I was working mine when I heard my watch beep...looked up...too late.

Kind of glad I didn't get in this one...this challenge didn't bring out the cream of the crop.

Oh yes indeed. I did that with the Movie Titles challenge. Got a whole story about it on the image in my profile that I *meant* to submit...

I hate it when that happens, and of course there's nothing that you can do about it. It makes sense that DPC won't let you pull images that aren't doing well, but jeez, it'd be nice to have that option sometimes.

I had just finished retouching this one, and I ran out of time to enter it?? I have an entry, but I think this would have done better? Could be the rum?

For those of us that did enter, this isn't exactly what we wanted to hear. :(

I don't know, it might give mine a better-than-usual chance : )

I've finished voting, and didn't see anything that struck my fancy, really. I gave (1) 9, maybe (2) 8's, and ironically, a good many 3's.

Dismal entries.

There's one particularly awesome photo in there that I had to give a 10 immediately.

As for me, my scores going up a bit now...
