Here's the deal. I wasn't satisfied with my entry so last night I was trying to get a better one. My wife says she doesn't see a problem with the one I entered. So when I finally get one that I thought could be passable, I ask her opinion and she's indifferent to it. So I say what the hay and leave my entry as is. This morning after seeing some of the shots I show her my out-take (you know what I mean). She says that was a better shot than the one I entered. Women........arrrrrr. So seeing as how there's no anonymity gauranteed here anyways for this challenge, I made it my Profile pic. Maybe I should just put a big bullseye on my forehead....lol

Is anyone above a 5 yet? There is all this talk about not giving anything lower than 5. I must have a whole mess of 5's then since I'm only at 5.24 =o(
I got a little creative with My shot. Maybe that's it. yeah that's it.

I hate to say this but as I've given out quite a few 2s and 3s already. This is a website where people (should) challenge themselves to take better photos (of themselves in this case). The photos that I rated 1-2-3 are OoF shots that look like they were taken with a webcam for a personals website ... it took me 50 or so times to get mine properly focused (mirrors, lowish light, macro ... digital ... PITA) ... so the penalty is for laziness more then anything else. |

But how do you know the lazy people. Well I did take 15 test shots one day then another 88 shots over a three hour period then next day (incliding setup time). Then another hour to edit a couple interesting ones and pick my submition. So about 5 hours, not including the time spent thinking of an idea.
So if you see mine you can bump me up for not being lazy. ;-)

That's why I'm not using that metric as a way to say 'Man, that's not fitting the topic!!!'. :-> So far I haven't seen anything that couldn't have been gotten with mirrors, cable release, timers, etc. |
Also the use of a remote. My camera [and others] has a wireless remote. |

I thought about it for a while before I decided to submit to this challenge, because like many people have already said, it is very personal. My score sucks right now, it is below 5 even though I've gotten good comments on the use of light, my looks, etc. I dont undestand, but oh well, my ego will remain the same, this is just a game.

This is kind of heartening - especially for my first challenge entry :)
I was getting around high 5's last night, then high 6's and finally hovering around the mid 6s.
I tried something really different for this, so received a lot of comments, and the funny thing is that there are so many conflicting views on my pic. I reckon that my final scores will have lots of high votes and lots of lows, with very few in the middle (at least from reading through the comments).

I think it's same for mine. Some people have totally missed the point. That they don't like it or are offended by it is cool - that they missed the point is a shame. Some people have totally got the message and that is wonderful.
Score is higher than I thought but the fact SOME people have seen what I was trying to get people to see is enough for this one. For me.

My entry is now dipping towards the mid 4's. BUT..I've had some great comments (some not so great, but constructive all the same) and one comment that will probably eclipse any comment I will ever receive. I took a screen shot of it just in case it turns out to be a figment of my wishes or somehow dematerializes over night. So, come on. Hit me with those stinky digits. Some how it doesn't matter any more.

I'm going to be sad when the results are posted and I see that all of those children are better photographers than me. |
