I'm still pondering what i will do with them, because for some, its not working so much.


I commented to that effect on a few of them, but gave it up after so many. It's a shame, because a lot of the pictures would have done amazingly in a free study, but they just didn't gain anything from being divided into three. I gave them decent votes but nowhere near what I'd have given the picture alone in a different category.

But like i said before, overall WOW! This will be one high scoring finish!!


When looking at these single shots split in three (or making one in the future) ask yourself if each division can stand alone as a quality image AND together.

I think that might be the problem with my entry, I only used one photo.


There is not a problem with using one photo, the problem, as ever, is that some people are making up their own interpretations of what the challenge title means. A triptych is a picture (or pictures) divided into three then hinged together. There does not have to be any reason to do it and the three pictures do not have to 'stand alone'. It's just a picture divided into three...

I agree with this but it depends on how you have divided it. If it is like some I have seen just disected across the subject it adds no appeal to the image and shouldn't been in the challenge.
I think what people are saying about these images is why? why make a trptych out of a good image if be doing so it has not enhanced the image.

I have to say that there are lots of images which have been sourced as single images, and simply chopped into 3. In my opinion they are triptychs and have just as much right to be in the challenge as anything else.

Of course the images which unify theme, tonal quality, colour will have an advantage in my opinion.

I do prefer the ones which are sourced from three individual images though.
 11/14/2005 04:08:32 PM · #108
I think both rypes of tripych have value but I agree the main objective is that the format adds to the whole.
Anyway I'm happy 'cos I'm on 5.75!!

I agree as well, they do have as much right to be in this challenge as anything else. However, like you, I also prefer the ones that are sourced from three individual images. I mean, and not taking away from the single images, but anyone can draw two lines between a single image to break it up into 3.

One image or two or three, it's all going to depend on the voters. As long as folks are happy with their entry, that's all that matters right? I created mine out of one image and it seems to be suffering from what you guys are pointing out. In any event, I submiited my entry because I was happy about it. In the end, this is all that matters to me.

With that said, I'm still climbing to my goal of 5.5. ANything beyond that is gravy ;)

Create an entry consisting of three panels that tells a story or illustrates a concept or object. Your panels can be made up of one photo or up to three separate photos.

I think if splitting the image into three illustrates a concept or object then it's valid. As opposed to taking a single shot and splitting it into three for the sake of the challenge.

Some of the comments prompted me to go back to photoshop for a re-edit.

Now I'm going to spend the week watching the votes on my entry, knowing I've got a better one sitting on my PC....

Don't you just hate when that happens? :)

edit: But it's not about the score, it's about the comments.....etc... Almost forgot to add that bit. :-P

JRalston, I'm new (this is the first challenge I've entered, and I laid eyes on this site for the first time a week ago), but from what I've seen, the very highest scores in challenges are generally in the sevens. The lowest are in the threes. Low fives seem to be low average (that's where I am), and higher fives, high average.

Anything which gets a comment is something to be happy with. It provoked some sort of reaction, hopefully complementary.

As for scores in order to ribbon an image has generally to be in the mid sevens plus, top 20 in the high sixes, low sevens.

Generally there are not many scores in the 7s, and 6 something can be considered an achievement. It can win a challenge! Anything over 5 in most people's view is very acceptable ( unless you are a professional or exceptionally talented).
Look back at the archives or at some of the top people's profiles to get an idea of how they score then look at a newbie like me. Most people have got some 4s in their record ( or a lot!)

Hi Falc You type faster than I do! How's things? :)

Just to reiterate, nope there isnt a problem with one image (like brads and pawdrix photos) the problem is when there is, to quote myself

If it does nothing for the image as a whole, is it a triptych or an image with lines through it? Every voter is thier own personal judge of that, and will vote accordingly.

Thanks :) I've received 8 comments but my score is only 5.59. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Thanks for your help.

While I agree completely with the last sentence, and really can't be bothered arguing about the rest of it, just ponder this. What 'real' reason is there to split any picture into three?

To enhance it ! To make it look better ! and to qoute the challenge description "Create an entry consisting of three panels that tells a story or illustrates a concept or object"

These are the real reasons.
