My photo is bringing in a sub 5 score again this week...seems no matter what I do for the Olympics...I can't get anywhere near a 6....I guess I'll have try harder...

Can I pm someone with my general idea and see what they think? I want to know if the idea is worth refining or if I should think of something else. My creative well is dry from lack of sleep for three weeks. I'll be back around four thirty to check if someone responded.

I'm in for affluence, but it's a last minute punt for participation points :p

I may play around a little more with an improvement, but at least I have something in. I predict a solid high 4's, maybe a 5 if I'm lucky.

I'm in for Affluence also...

10/22/2008 12:28:17 AM · #157

I'm in poverty and at a 5.66 with 3 votes. To early to tell which way it will go.

I'm think I'm about to set a personal worst with this entry.

10/24/2008 07:38:34 PM · #159

Hey, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm at a 3.9 and my lowest to date is 4.

lol...everyone is low...I am scoring in the mid 4's...again...

this is simply rediculous....I hate entering challenges now...everything gets shot down. I wasn't able to enter anything in affluence or poverty, but I should have something for money or motion blur....but i'm not expecting it to be above a 5

when the olympics are over, maybe, then the scores will start to go back up

Exactly.....

I have an idea for motion blur - just don't know if I can pull it off.

10/26/2008 06:44:58 PM · #164

alright, I'm in for Money...not expecting it to get out of the 4's though....it's kind of a shoehorn

I just got home from looking for Street Shots...(also Money)...and I like your entry...thanks for passing it on...now I know what the "X" is in your name...lol...lucky you to be able to be in attendance...lol...we stayed at home and watched UofM and Rich lose to MSU...lol

10/26/2008 08:38:34 PM · #166

I've got season tickets....even when I lived 4 hours away from there I still had them, now I'm 40 minutes away

10/28/2008 01:04:21 PM · #167

I'm in for motion blur. Didn't turn out as I had envisioned, but I think it will be probably low 5's. Anything will be better than my affluence entry! Sheesh.

Alright I put my last remaining money in!

10/28/2008 08:10:24 PM · #169

In for Money...trying to be creative...looking for a score higher than I have been getting, have no idea how it will do...lol...as I don't think I need another 4...looks like I have 3 in a row....for this side challenge...and I haven't had 3 4's or lower in a row since September of 2005...three years...good luck everyone.
BTW Bob...good going on your 5.79 last week...nice effort.

~sigh~ I may have to drop out of DPCO just to preserve any shred of dignity in my average. Working on ANOTHER mid-l0w 4. Now I remember why I don't enter many challenges - I stink at them.

C'mon Judy...lol....I know you're better than the 4's..we all know it's the ODD voting...if you wanna quit fine...it's not because you stink..I know it is hard to see the votes come in..and your average shrink...keep trying...maybe we'll all get lucky..and do better.

10/29/2008 09:29:37 PM · #172

4.5 for me

right where I expected it for the DPC DNMCers

I think the quality of it is up there with my best shots

10/29/2008 09:41:22 PM · #173

You guys gotta see that it is all in the voting and the unfair way they are discarding alot of the shots..it is a shame that it has turned DPC this way...all our averages are higher than we are receiving...keep a good attitude...use what you know... and we can compete...and have fun...and Lenny you are right it was a great shot... leave it at that... and go on to the next one... things will turn around.
