when i was voting on the challenge, it made me laugh aloud. i got it instantly, it is truly funny. i could live without the ducks, but hey, it's a very very funny picture.

Honestly, I don't think it would score anywhere near this now, but even then I was totally flabbergasted by the score, and the number of favorites it got. |
i'm also not surpised. again, the 'humour' factor (although more unexpected, surrealism), and this is a lovely image. clean and simple, nice tonal range, and well made shot.

These two... they both even got favorites. And the following week, the "Unexpected Find" challenge was issued.
I'm always a day late and a dollar short!

These two...
Most favorites (a whole 2... now that's apparently a lot for me!!)
And the most comments and some great positive feedback
It seems like when I am not trying my hardest, that I get the most attention!! |

8/488, very nearly scored a 7, and 20 favorites. To me it just looks messy, and I had to be talked into entering the darn thing. Go figure.
Then there's this one... a neat trick, but not much of a scene IMO. I wanted a more interesting background (water lilies or something), but few trees even had any leaves left, so my options were limited. Even with a 7.3+ score at rollover I didn't expect to ribbon, yet it took blue and has 96 favorites. |

I had to ask my wife if I should enter this one for the "Lines" challenge. I liked it, but didn't know how others would take to it. I was pleasantly surprised.

This was an outtake from the "Fairytale challenge" which I stuck in my portfolio.
If I had known how popular it was going to be, I would have swapped it with the one I submitted...however, as I said in the write up on the image, I thought it was too dark with not enough happening in the picture to be successful !! |

I took this at my mother's house when I was staying with her after she had some major surgery. Between work and helping her, I wasn't able to get out and do much shooting, so I was in one of those "I've got to shoot something, anything..." moods, and this lime was on the kitchen counter. It was one of my first experiments using gaussian blur for the background (that dark line is actually a knife), and I posted the shot just for the sake of posting something. I really didn't think it would get much of a reaction.

Entered this for the 30 day Self Portrait challenge. It received the most comments for any of my portfolio entries and 2 faves within half an hour of submitting it.

The 24-hour speed challenge this Valentine's day was UNLIMITED editing. You could combine any number of photos you wanted to create your submission. I really couldn't think of anything way out there to do, but I CAN do simple things. Folded 2 sheets of 11 x 17 paper to make a heart and shot it with some red gelled lights. I thought it was pretty, but too simple to compete with all the multi-photo and creatively edited shots that were going to be submitted.
Surprised the heck out of me to get 4th place. Still my highest rated submission.

Top 10. 31 comments, 3 favorites, and it makes me cringe every time I look at it. The border is awful, the composition is arbitrary, the reds are saturated to total flatness, it's horrible...

My latest entry. My highest score. My first top 10.
And I still reckon it's boring as batshit! |

I was experimenting with Draganizer post processing, and I liked the end result, so I uploaded it thinking that being a male frontal nude it wasn't going to be popular... I was wrong!!!
I has 21 comments, 6900 views, 6 favorites and I even sold a print in DPC Prints!!!

Top Ten, 33 comments, 3 favs
I thought this would get hammered for being so dark, but the challenge was about the rope not the cat. It gave me a personal best and top ten. |

the number of times this shot has come up in the "pick one from the one above you" thread is quite surprising.
goes to show that goofing off with an IR filter while you ride home from work can pay off...
and for the record, i wasn't driving. i carpool...

this one did pretty well (for me) and I see nothing but problems in it. |

I'm only surprised when my images are NOT popular. ;-)

This one...I mean I like it, but I was surprised anyone would fav it, because she is in one bad mood...and well because it is not set-up or manipulated, I just thought people might say
'not a bad shot, but who wants to look at your grumpy kid'. |

By far the most surprising ribbon I have. I just ran down to take a picture of some water and a bridge. But it scored thru the roof on a fun challenge topic. I felt many others were better than mine. But it showed that a technically good photograph with interesting elements can "surprise" you and the do well.

It's an onionskin on a chopping block, people!
I mean, I like the picture, but I'm quirky. What is everyone else's excuse?
I thought it looked like an old map of the world, but when I processed it to look that way it was low contrast and "dull" and I knew it would get killed, so I did a contrasty super-sharpened version for dpc, but lost that map feeling. But I submitted it anyway. And now it's my second highest score. |

This is far and above my most selected "fav". I have no idea why. It's an OK shot, but far from what I would consider "fav-worthy".
