If you take pictures all month, put up 1 a day for 30 days, and get some good comments/advice etc. can you take one and put it in the Free Study Challenge, even though it's already gotten some attention? Or is this an unwise move?

| You can do that - people do it all the time for Free Studies and Best of challenges. The rules only require it not be in a previous challenge. You'll often see folks enter a second shot from the same shoot in both a weekly challenge and a Free Study. If it's your favorite for the month, go for it. But hide the version that is currently in your portfolio. |

| The only downside might be that someone may know who it is from. Other than killing some of the anonymous nature of voting, I don't see a problem. I will sometimes not realize that a shot of mine is good enough until it gets some attention elsewhere. A member here may chance to stumble across it, but it does not seem like a major problem. |

| Keep in mind that people have much higher standards for main challenges than for side challenges and other photos that you post on your own. So just because you got a bunch of great comments during a side challenge does not guarantee that the thing will do well in a main challenge. I've done this sort of thing three times -- the first one did well (my third highest score), the second one tanked, and the third one got a combination of supportive and DNMC comments and ended up somewhere around the middle. So I am not sure if I really came out that much ahead. |
