I should have waited for the Happy Dance challenge. |

I thought this one would rate much higher! I think it is MUCH better than some of my other entries that are rated higher. I'd really like some useful comments as well. The 2 comments I have are very sweet condolences, but they are not useful on improving my photography!
I guess I expected more because I have such a strong emotional attachment to this one.
I'd be very interested to know who selected me as a favorite. That does make me feel better :)

I guess so, but please don't take the pain challenge as a indicator of the usual standard of artistic interpretation on this website.

| wow. I'm sitting at a 4.02 right now with no comments (after 102 votes). I think my score would have been better with a different title. I guess the "emotional" pain is not apparent enough. |

I don't ususally enter into these posts, but I have to say that I was disappointed on a whole other level. I can "take" the pain, but most of these images for me don't even begin to artisically emote pain - physical or mental or spiritual. I am saddened by the lack of pain in a way. It is too cartoonish for me.

Says it all really...

I'm such a whimp. Can't handle any more votes on this challenge. I do apologize (for my whimpiness, because I do like the voting process).

As to the argument over the validation of certian types of Pain pictures, the fact is that 215 different pictures were submited, and exactly the same nuber of angles were taken on how to respond to the challenge. Of course, that hits quite a vast spectrum of ideas. There's many definitions for 'pain,' and it should be concluded that 215 people are not going to all go after the same one.
Different pictures stir up emotions differently in different viewers. I must say that some of the photos based on emotionally-triggered pain hit pretty close to home for me and stirred me up inside quite a bit. What do I think about that? I think those photographers must've responded to the challenge quite well--pain accomplished! Well done. And those of us who went after the bloody side of it? I've noticed that we've gotten some pretty negative rections--I guess we succeeded in attaining 'pain' as well; we certianly stirred up some emotions.
It's okay that we all have different ways of expressing a multi-definitioned theme. After all, it's not 1984. |

| I actually got a comment that, while the person said that they didn't agree with my photo -- and I respect that -- validated what I was trying to do and going for with my submission. My score isn't doing well, but the whole idea behind my shot for the challenge has been acknowledged, and for that I'm happy. |

| I'm fairly disappointed with the results of this challenge so far. Some of the comments have ridiculed my entry, which was NOT staged nor did it portray faked pain.... Ya never know. |

| I like the pain challenge, even though Im not doing incredible. It seems it struck a creative nerve in people even moreso than the movie themes challenge. |

Funny how you made a reference to 1984 because in my challenge entry I put a quote from George Orwell in my description.
... maybe were on the same page here.... |

You see, that's what I love the most about this challenge. It's actually pretty easy to make beautiful shots when you are lucky enough to live in (or even been lucky to know) a gorgeous place. With lots of sightseeing. Waterfalls, mountais, bridges, paradise beaches and stuff.
But when you have to come up with a solution for something you can't find laying around, the results of it are a lot more pleasant than just shooting something that is naturally beautiful.
my 2 cents |

My photo is getting torn up again. Guess I shouldn't have submitted on a last minute situation.

This is killing me as well! I thought I had a very good chance of scoring between 5 and 6 on this one. Maybe next time. I'm still learning of course and the new camera is throwing me off a lot!
