Perhaps because you're blowing your own horn here when this thread is about pointing out others that you thought didn't do as well as you thought they should.
It's a rare event when everyone is completely satisfied with the results of their own entry.
Just kind of a polite thing to leave your own out of this, that's all. If you feel you need more feedback and/or want to discuss your personal entry then start your own thread? |

"POST YOUR" thats what it says.
if you look at my track record Im not trying to toot my own horn...
I have never talked about an Individual image of mine before. Least if I have it was started by someone else.
Yeah Maybe I should just go have a beer and settle for what I got... but I don't drink and I don't like to settle.
I felt this shot was Underated, so I posted it.
Why do ya all keep attacking me about it. ya know,it will go away just like everything else. I said my piece and yet, other need to keep dragin it on.
What about the other person who Posted their own image... Why isn't anyone attacking them?

littlegett...
i really liked your image and i agree with you that it should have placed higher. i didn't get to your image, but i would have given it an 8. it shows personality, and has great contrast. i liked the wrinkly sheet in the shadow. one of the first things i thought was.. "i like the wrinkles".. |

I count at least two posts that have mentioned the other person who posted their own photo - generally thats not what these threads are for - its to point out the photos that you voted 10's and didn't get the same recgonition from the rest of the voters.

Agreed, though I would have made it B&W myself I gave this image a '10'. It is classic high contrast.

Agreed this image got a nice score by DPC standards and that it is a top notch high contrast image in the traditional mold. I wish I could do as well. Mine was one of the three '10's this image got and is a personal favorite in this challenge.

Here is my photograph. I will say I was very dissapointed. I thought I would at least get to 6 and get out of the dreaded 5s range.
and here were some of my favorites...
I disagree with all the "if not for the frame" comments. I mean, I don't like the frame but I wouldn't bash the photos score because of it.
And I want to sy that I think there are so many overrated photographs in this challenge in general. I really just don't get it. |

Forgot about that one. Wouldn't put it in the top top, but def expected better. Wishing I had bumped my score of it now. |

You know what... *I* underrated this shot, gave it a 6. I guess I looked at it too quickly. It's actually a really wonderful pile of shapes. Maybe I overlooked it because it's not high contrast, as far as I can tell. |
I guess I am not the best judge of what is and is not high contrast but I thought it had a good level of color contrast. I also liked it because of the contrast of old and new.
I almost submitted a sunrise taken the same morning. Would that type of shot be considered a more high contrast shot? I thought it would be but I also thought that was too easy.

This image ribboned in the original "high contrast" challenge, although it was subsequently DQ'd for time/date stamp on camera being set wrong :-(

I neglected to post this one, because it was DQ'd, but it is just wonderful and I made it a favorite:

First of all, this is a great image. But there is a sort of risk with an image like this because it had nationalistic / patriotic overtones. It's a great shot but it's such a common subject in the US that it might lose the WOW factor for that reason alone - IMO.

I just don't see what people didn't like about this one though. It was about 140 out of 388. I gave it an 8 and I'm really tough judge ;)
