I was so stupid, I didn't read the rules and added text to the image to make it look like a movie poster. I got dq'd but I wonder if it was good enough. I kind of like it and I think it was much better than my past entries in other challenges. Any comment will be appreciated.

| That was a very powerful image! Sorry to hear about the dq. I could definitely see it as a movie poster. |

Sorry you got DQ'd... the good thing is, you'll only make that mistake once, LOL. Don't take it to heart, happens to the best!

| Yea I was disapointed that they didn't add a special rule to add text to this challenge. I liked the picture pesonally and thought it would have done fairly well. |

Sorry to hear about your DQ.
I am curious however, how this kind of thread is any different from an "outtakes" thread? We have an image that is directly related to an active challenge being voted on and now asking for feedback on how it would have done, comments, etc...
Nothing against you talikf...just a recent hot topic and this posting ties into it. Better luck in your next challenge. ;^) |

Oh Sorry, I didn't know about that discussion, this is actually the first time that I post to the forums, but I didn't think about reading recent posts before posting. Anyways, I don't know how to delete this. I guess it can be deleted by the admins if it breaks the rules? I didn't mean it.

Good point and should definitely be brought up in that thread.
Sorry about the DQ. I've got two... so, I know it kinda stings.

My opinion is I don't think these kind of threads take away from anything. You people act like we are competeing for thousands of dollars here. Give me a break

So you're in favor of "outtake" threads? This thread is no different from an "outtake", actually even worse - depending on your viewpoint. |

| I'm confused. If the image was DQ'd it's not in the running anymore and you can't vote on it. How does it influence the challenge? |

Don't worry. Your post just popped up in the middle of a lengthy, on-going discussion (and poll - see the left side) and it's being used as a point in that discussion. No harm done. Welcome to the forums - keep on posting! |

Based on that logic - How does an "outtake" thread influence voting? ;^) |

glad2badad, if someone commented that this was a great (or horrible) shot, would you go back to the challenge and change your votes on similar shots? If you haven't already voted, would you really vote diferently because of someone's comment about this shot? I am not being sarcastic, it is just that you are so adamantly against outtake threads, and I am wondering if they would truly influence your votes.

Actually, I'm not against "outtakes" (see my posts in the "outtakes" discussion thread).
I'm just making a point for those that are so against "outtake" threads. "Outtakes" are taboo, but this kind of thread is ok? There are other types of threads/conversations allowed that IMO also influence voting during an active challenge (see "outtakes" discussion thread for those examples as well).
Where's the line? ;^)
edit: missed a parens...

Well an outtake would be one of a series of photos and would make the current entry by that photographer known to anyone who read their thread and hence could influence how people vote on that photo.
In this case the photo does not reveal any information about a particular photo you can vote on so how does it skew voting?
If you are just using the logic that if a person asks for opinions on "how would this have done?" skewing voting then what about threads where people did not enter the challenge but said "if I had entered, would you have liked this picture?"

Again, I'd suggest reading the thread but that's pretty much what the rule is going to disallow - anyone posting anything that's remotely like a current challenge, regardless of whether or not it a)looks anything like their own entry and b)they entered at all. Apparently a strong majority feels that the posting of any subject-related shot skews the voting for all entrants/voters. |

Ok, thank you :) I've been trying hard to avoid having to read the long and I'm sure heavy political thread. That answers it well enough for me though I was just confused. Sorry if I muddied the water at all ;) |

Sorry, I had read the first 2 or 3 pages of that thread but have not been following it lately. I was remembering you as against outtakes, but my mind can be as sharp as a broken pencil sometimes! I agree that if we are not allowing outtake threads during a challenge, this thread should also have to wait until the challenge is over. I would like to read a post by someone saying that he/she saw discussion on an outtake and he/she voted differently as a result. I'll go back to the discussion thread and see what has been going on there.
edit: I started typing this at 4:04 right after glad's reply, but I had to go pick my son up from school so it was delayed in being posted.
