I have an idea for a straight picture, but its more of straight as a theme instead of "including all straight lines" It will certainly have straight lines in it, but would also include other things... will I get burned for this? Are the best entries going to be more abstract?

I'm asking because I recently didn't read a challenge description...

I personally would go for it, I think I'll do something similar myself.

in all honesty, I think it totally depends on how well you pull off your shot ... if it's got a total "water drop wow factor" then I'm sure you'll do well, even if it's more conceptual and has other elements than straight lines in it ... do a poor job of pulling it off and I think you'll be in for a long week and a bad score ...

"Challenge Details: Capture an image that includes only straight lines. "

So, I'm thinking the non-DNMC images will contain only straight lines.

i entered this in the lines I challenge - and scored exactly in the middle of the range....


i entered this in lines II - and scored 4th. go figure ;}


of course 'straight' wasn't part of the challenge in those, but predominantly they have straight lines.

I wish the challenge TITLES had included the word "only" -- as in "Straight Only" and "Twisted Only." For some reason I had overlooked the full description. I'll probably not submit my entry after all, because it for sure contains both straight and twisted lines.

Oh, go for it!

Do it 'cause you like it and want to, and the Hell with the voters!

Do you like it?

Do you think it's a cool take on the idea?

Enter it then!

agreed.... I like scoring higher on challenges, and I've never ribboned, but I certainly enter just to see what happens most of the time.
