We've been dance partners before, DrAchoo. I can't recall who prevailed last time, though. I'll take your average over mine, though :-)

June 26th, 2007. A day that will live in infamy. Noraneko, using a sand dollar that people speculate was on performance enhancing drugs, beat DrAchoo in Puzzle Macro by 0.02. She snagged 6th, while the defeated 'achoo came in 8th.

Ah, yes, the infamous Puzzle Macro challenge. And that sand dollar was not on performance enhancing drugs, LOL, though maybe it was a little performance-enhanced by PS.

Yes, dropping steadily, though still not enough to reflect my diminishing feelings about my shot. Hopefully this will allow the cream to rise to the top.

Gotta Say I think the Voters are wrong with this one.

Yep mines dropped from 5.9 to 5.5 since last night and no additional comments, the 3 comments I have had so far have been really positive... Hmmm

Mine dropped quiet a bit too. I am now below 6. It's nice to know we're all in the same boat:)

an excerpt from a recent comment: "However, I would have scored it higher if the whole XXX was in focus" and all this time I thought it was a shallow dof challenge???

I'm curious how to follow rules here... my overexposure shot got a comment and low score for being overexposed, now I get a comment and low score on this challenge "DOF" because the background is "out of focus" while the foreground is "in focus"!

Should I just start submitting whatever I want, instead of trying to follow the challenge rules?


The out of focus one has to be a joke, either that or someone that didn't read the challenge title, and/or is new to photography and doesn't understand why you don't want the entire picture in focus. Thats weird though, i imagine he/she is voting that way on everyones though, so I don't think you have to worry about it affecting you placementwise.

eta: I read the "overexposed" comment, and I believe what he meant was that the overexposure doesn't work for you in this case, I think he realized that the challenge was overexposure, the dof one though is stumping me.


The person that left the oof on my DOF entry has been a member over 1 year now and entered over 80 challenges.... they have been around enough to know IMO.

I think the comments criticizing the OOF aspect as a flaw are suggesting that the shallow DOF does not work for that particular shot. I left a couple of comments along those lines myself. If any of my comments are the ones being talked about, PM me and I will be happy to clarify the comment.

What he said.

I probably should have explained myself better on the few I left comments like that on. I sometimes forget people can't read my mind. ;) If one of my comments is the one that is being referred to, please let me know. I would be happy to explain myself better.

still holding onto my 3rd personal best, looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

I like alot of images in this challenge. Some are very good, but have alot of noise in them. I voted every image in this challenge simply of the beauty of each image...not so much on how shallow the DOF was.

Stats: You have rated 323 of 324 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.6533

I liked some very very much...but I also thought there were a good number that were just OOF or completely infocus.

All in all...
You have rated 322 of 323 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 60 images (19%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.0280.

I started with the goal to comment on every image, but I just don't think I am going to make it...sorry folks
