I don't know why there's always someone (in this case, at least two someones) who feel compelled to submit a tasteless entry for every challenge. Last challenge, it was a pile of excrement. I won't describe the two I've already come across in Serendipity so as to preserve their anonymity (not that they deserve it, but because the admins will have MY head for doing so). Go ahead, flame me for being old fashioned or whatever, but I just don't see the point of submitting truly tasteless images. (And yes, I know tasteless is subjective. That said, I can't imagine too many people making a case for a framed 8x10 of excrement.)
Flame on! |

I don't know about the excrement photo, but I really didn't like the picture of poop.

LOL
but id add, a little disapointed w/ this challenge overall. i decided not to submit at the last second because my shot didnt exactly fit the challenge. but after looking at whats there so far, i should have submitted. apparently serendipity is pretty vague.. |

| All I know is someone just told me they gave me a 9 when they actually gave me a 4. Why lie? |

| Money and jewels seem to be the running theme this week... is there nothing else that people ever make good accidental discoveries about? |

Perhaps someone else changed their score at the same time--it's not possible to be sure. |

Yes, it looks like a free study for the most part. |

mine was last minute but I liked the idea & wanted to shoot. I submitted cause I felt like it. I say, screw it. I've been scoring crazy low lately sp what Do I have to loose? Well, other than the one word comments like "huh?" What does that mean? Is it what I am should be saying or what the viewer is saying?
ne word comments should be outlawed!
hehehe
huh?

I am disappointed by the photos in this challenge. If it hadn't rained today, I would've been able to submit. Seems I might've stood a good chance. I was going to shoot a picture of a shoeless person fishing off a dock and catching a pair of boots. what do you think?

That would have been good, as long as the photo was "artistic", you would have rated high from me. |

I think that is a tremendously great idea. |

Thank you both. I had to wait until today to shoot it because my fisherman was only available today.
I also must say that I do believe that a lot of these pictures don't represent serendipity in the way I interpret it, but I am guessing that the "perfect" photo would be seredipitous to the serious photographer so I will be taking that into consideration. |

| I'm having trouble with rating some of the photos that look the same (money in books, jewels in eggs). Do I rate each one as if I had not seen any of the others, or do I rate them in a curve? |

whatever you do, dont leave vague one word comments! :)
As for voting, there are suggested rules but people just do what they like.

I'm still trying to figure out if it is a blessing or a curse to have that button.
