I'm really happy with my score... even though it's only around 4.0 and does go up and down, it's still good considering I used a 500mm mirrorlens handheld, and it´s the worst lens I have ever tried, I just wanted to see how an image would do taken with that lens, since so many of the ribbon winners are taken with L lenses :)

Not very happy with my entry :-(
I bet that for 90% of the pictures voters will comment something like "You can still buy this" or "I'm still using it" or "I can fix this". Hope I'll do better for the Circle challenge (though I have to travel to the next city for that) :)))

The vast, vast majority of entries are obsolete. The trick is to present your 'item' in such a way that it doesn't say 'obsolete' it says 'you want to hang this image on your wall'.

Not doing so bad. My photo is overexposed on purpose to emphasize the out-of date quality. I thought it would hurt me more than it did. I'm much happier with this submission than my last which scored 4.3.

I'm doing a lot better than my last one, that's for sure. I think I am going to put this one on my wall!
Just like everyone else, I would love a lot more comments than I'm getting...

Looks like this one is destined to make my profile page as a top 5 of my entries.

YAY! Bump the flower!

If you can keep that above 6, it should do VERY well in this challenge. I think the scoring is generally going to be pretty low. Good Luck.

Not a big shock, after all, the dog chewed on my CF card, I tried a new lens I was unfamiliar with, I wasn't able to remove my "temp" entry in favor of my "real" one, and finally, the DPC voters just don't understand the genius of my non-mainstream entry.

Painfully average...like a schoolboy on a date at the movies and peeing his pants, then spilling his coke on himself to cover it up.

I turned off my update score for a couple of days.

The thing is, it's not a bad photo. Not a prizewinner, I knew that. But I'm getting comments about it not being a truly obsolete item. I think even in this day and age it's hard to find something that can't be found in use somewhere still.

Good luck to everyone.
