I'm not at home with the spreadsheet, so I don't know how badly I was hit.

I would love to get a six. And hope to earn a ribbon one day!

I am just getting started on here, been registered for a looong time but now getting into it. Only my second real challenge. =] Good Luck to all!!!

I am really enjoying the entire challenge experience, which of course includes photography and forum participation. I already voted on all the pics and enjoyed seeing the different and creative ways everyone chose to meet the challenge requirements.

I am currently working to complete my portfolio to get a job as a copywriter at an ad agency and my advertising classes follow this same format:

- Assignment is given
- Brainstorm ideas
- Develop ad (in the case of DPC, take your best shot)
- Have ad (or photo) reviewed, learn and improve

I\'m looking forward to hearing what people have to say about my photos and hoping these challenges push me to think more creatively.

Hey there Joey, I used to work as a copywriter. Helluva fast-paced business to be in but can be very rewarding. Anyway welcome to the madhouse, DPC is almost as much fun as being creative on demand! :-)

I'd love to say I'm just misunderstood, but in fact I don't think that is the case.

OK, so that's a big NO on the possible 5, then? Must you be so emphatic? I was trying to be positive!

Hey Snaffles,

That's great. I'm really happy that I stumbled on this website. It was exactly what I was looking for plus more! I know its going to make me a better photographer and I know its going to keep the learning process fun!

Being a creative at an ad agency is definitely right up my alley, I'm looking forward to breaking into the industry! Good luck in the challenge, talk to you soon!

On the one hand I'm thrilled, as this is my third challenge and I've improved my score yet again... on the other hand, it was so close to six earlier... now it's dropped.
11/04/2009 03:49:52 PM · #35
Finally off to a good start, maybe get to 6.000??? Trolls stay away.

*keeping fingers crossed*

Welcome, wkdesigns! Even if you don't hit 6 this time around, anything in the mid 5s is very respectable.

Sniff... I'm not respectable... (going into corner now...)
11/04/2009 04:02:08 PM · #38
I've been hit with nasty votes today 3 out of the 4 challenges I've entered. Multiple 2s and 3s. I think I'm going to have to turn off voting today.

Awww, poor Deb! ((hugs)) But at least you've ribboned, which is a lot more than most of us will ever be able to say!

Thanks for the welcome (even though it's my 7th challenge). With any luck maybe I'll remain "respectable", thought I would in the motion challenge. Oh well.
11/04/2009 04:24:40 PM · #43
Yes, realized my mistake once I saw your profile. Oh well! :-)

back to biting fingernails...

I'm sure it will go back up! The happy voters come out on the weekend (not Fridays, surprisingly...)

awesome!! welcome!! Good luck in the challenges and have fun expanding your horizons! I'm certainly doing things I never expected to be doing. After all, when does one ever think that they'll be carving SPAM?

And as to our Miss Melethia!

My dear, you always say the voters are always right, maybe this will convince you:

Think about it, if you polled a random group of people regarding what music they most want to listen to, sadly, you'd probably find that more people like Britney Spears than Beethoven. Does this mean that Britney Spears is more talented than Beethoven? I don't think so. You do incredible work. You just hit a more narrow audience. It doesn't mean that you're less artistic or talented. I'm sorry, I don't want to live in a world where Britney Spears is more talented than Beethoven (or insert your choice of composer here)

There!! I think I got through more of the thread...

Oh yes, still below 6. Getting lots of nice votes, but the 2s & 3s are bringing it down. It's just more disappointing because I'm way too close to the subjects in my photo. Pick on my halloween entry instead, please!
11/04/2009 05:59:56 PM · #48
Yea gads, Crazydiamond, any idea how long it took me to even have an entry reach the high 5s!? A very long time! So no fear, you'll get there, just keep doing what you're doing. :-)

Melethia are you trying to steal my first brown ribbon away from me? Still many days to go. Anything could happen.
