I got so bored from not having a camera (sold my 40D a month ago to fund a 5DmII pre-order) that I borrowed a friend's camera and went into the city to take some pics. I wasn't really planning on submitting anything but thought, "what the heck!". It's been 18 months since I entered a challenge...can't believe it's been that long!

Not my best, but it's fun to be back in the running!

Turned scores on for the 100 vote check-in. I'm apparently not all that good at what I love to do, but hey, I still like to shoot.

Tough challenge. I (mistakenly) went with something leaning toward cliche to try to woo the voters a little bit, knowing how previous attempts at something more sincere have bombed. Anyway...

Pretty much the ballpark I expected.

Yes!

It has always seemed strange to me to see "The voters love me" (Score is 5.8)
folowed by a diferent poster a few posts later saying "The voters hate me" (Score is 5.8)

For me this is great, flirting with PB territory, for others this would be below average :)

I don't want to post my score, because I believe in the jinx. But I have 11 comments and one FAVE, so I am very happy and surprised.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm happy with my 5.6 right now, .2 away from a PB for me. 10 me people! ;P

i have come to the conclusion that to try to please the DPC crowed is not good for your mental health
just submit the pic what is you
and may the devil skate on ice

I have to agree with this. I thought my pic was DPC friendly, and might get me a PB. Not so. It's hovering around 5.8x now. Was at 6.0x. So it's dropping.

Ditto that for me as well!

When you think that you're pleasing the DPC crowd and feel that it's a great shot, that's when you're displeasing yourself because we've likely gone against what it is that we really like. I'm not doing that anymore. I'm entering what I like and to heck with the scores. It's at the least, getting me to use my camera! :)

Congrats, Juli! That must make your day! I have 4 comments and none of them are nice. LOL

Good idea. I need to shot for me first, DPC second.

Amen!!!

I'm with you there. Trying to please the DPC crowd, whoever they may be, is a waste of time and effort, and ends up stunting your own creativity completely! I give up, if I ever post again it will be what I want, and I refuse to look at scores again. There's way too many talented, successful and pro photographers on this site with no ribbons at all, let alone scores over the sixes!
