Colors. There also seems to be confusion with some voters on whether or not colors, other than black and white, have opposites. This may help.

Fire and ice works for me. |

| i personally dont have a problem with negative comments so long as they are constructive criticism..i have ZERO comments on my post a low score amd nothing to either learn from nor any idea why my post was voted so poorly..as a newbie I thought the whole idea was to learn from challenges so I could improve the quality of my work..but all I see in here is a bunch of people whining about no good posts and no one offering any CONSTRUCTIVE advice..yeah I agree there are some that look thrown together and rushed..but I also TELL those people so they can improve their posts for next time instead of tearing them down out here in forums..if you havent posted a comment IN the challenge..or posted a pic in there shut up and stop bitching about the people that are at least TRYING to learn |

I agree with LycanMoon. Mine may not be the best, as I am starting out in photography also. But this site sure doesn't encourage new people to try, all they want to do is tear you down and make you feel like you shouldn't even OWN a camera. I have been on this site for quite some time now even though I have only entered the challenges recently. There is NO one on here who can say their stuff is perfect. NO shot is. If I scanned a print of Ansel Adams and posted it like it was mine, I bet 20 people would say it was horrible.
There are way too many bitter people on this site. So you get a couple of 2,3, or 4 votes and you are gonna tear everyone else down for it? Come on people, this is ridiculous. It's suppose to be FUN. It's suppose to HELPFUL. No offense to the owners of the site, as I'm sure you have really good intentions and never meant for this site to become so petty. I am definitely regretting shelling out money to be here. I think you should be a paid member just to enter challenges. At least it would weed out some of these people who have nothing better to do than post horrible comments.
They can give me 2's all they want, they can say my stuff isn't good or whatever the hell they want. At least I have the NERVE to post a picture and try. And no one here is gonna make me give up on photography, it's something I love and will continue to do, whether or not I have a little blue ribbon next to my name. |

Too true. I actually had a great idea for this challenge, a wildly popular idea for an opposite. You will never guess. OK it was Fire and Ice. I drew it up on paper, set up the staging to photograph my drawing in the real world, and actually got the self same shot that I drew with the color and the front to back focus and everything that most voters want. Thought I had nailed the beast. I figures this was what the voters want. Stupid me. 2.3.ect.
However it is if I say so myself a fine shot; and I will not despair the folk who have ripped it hardest have very few photographs to their credit, and even if they hate it, I am glad I made the shot. If people can't judge it because it is similar to other shots I pray they never get to vote on a portrait challenge (What? Another face of a human being? 2).
At any rate sorry for the rant and I have faith that the long knives tend to come out early and that the people with lives (unlike myself) they tend to vote more logically, and later. As Scarlet O’Hara said “Tomorrow is another day"

I don't see why all the griping about so many fire and ice. Remember, there is a limited topic for the challenge, and out of 300 and some odd entries, do you really expect 300 and some odd different original ideas? Besides, I think it makes voting on those couple dozen or so shots easier because you have a lot to compare each of them to. Look at a fire and ice and say hmmm, is it better or worse than the 10 I've seen so far, is it composed better, is it more dynamic, is it blurry, etc. etc. Why gripe about it? Why not just let it make the really creative shots just be even more appreciated? I guess it matters whether you are a positive or negative person. Oh, and by the way, I did not enter a fire and ice so no, I'm not lobbying for my own cause.

I really like mine, but it's not getting that great of a score. Oh well. It's not fire and ice either. I still like it though.

Same here! I LOVE my shot this time around and I think it fits the theme fine, people may not think it is clear-cut opposites, but oh well, that's what they think. I am proud of the shot and can't wait to make a print of it!
