I have no comparison by years, just by percentages. I joined in March, made my first submission in May.
Basic Editing - Hairy Banister, Minimalism challenge (my first)
1% placement, 3.663 score. worse score.
Ready For the Picken, branch challenge
78% placement, 5.517 score, best one so far in basic
editing.
Advanced Editing - Reptile Habitat, At The Zoo challenge (my second in
advanced edtiting)
5% placement, 4.084 score, the worse score
Sunday Morning, Garbage II challenge
52% placement, 5.024 score my best percentage
placement in advanced editing.
Highest score to date, Fading Into Night, Triptych challenge, advanced editing, 5.614 but it only came in 48%.
Goals for 2006
Try to break at least a 6.
Try to get at least an 85% placement in a challenge.
Try to maintain an average placement in the 40-50% placement overall in challenges.
Not very high goals, but I am being realistic. I know I put too much detail in my images, so I will try to simplify, but there is still that problem with camera capability. I am not sure I can get to my goals given the camera I have, which won't be changed to a digital slr anytime soon.

I've only been here since August but taking pictures since May. My first 18 scored an average of 5.03 and the last 17 scored and average of 5.36 which included a top 5 with a score of 7. If it wasn't for this site, I wouldn't have a clue what I was doing!! Thank You DPC, Happy New Year!

In 2004, as best as I can figure it, my average was 5.504127 over 71 challenges...and in 2005 the average is 5.765866667 over 47 challenges. I guess that's an improvement but I haven't entered as often so maybe that's the reason it's increased. I know for a fact that I've learned a lot this year, though, no matter what the scores or stats say. ;)
