Ok folks ... I am going to call BS on a majority of the entries in the challenge...
the statement said "What does darkness mean to you? Show us with an image."
That is far different from what I am seeing in a lot of images (Although some are very very good)
So IMHO there will be "1" s delt out with the comment
"IMHO this image -- although very nice -- did not meet the challenge"
BTW for full disclosure... I did not enter this one as I could not come up with a idea that met this challenge.
If It was just a "dark image" I would have come up with some cool stuff.
Just my rant . |
I would be most happy with your 1 as long as that comment is there as well. It tells me all I need to know, YOUR very correct TO YOU interpretation that my photo does not meet the challenge. I think the most important thing is to have that comment. |

Overall, I enjoyed your post...as for the dictionary it CAN come in quite handy on many challenges - also agreed that it can be tossed for this one. ;^)

Still under 5, 10 great comments, couple confused and a Favorite! Artist/Abstract doesnt appeal to the majority, but when some folks get it, it fills good. I'm on my 40th challenge, first 20 was a major learning experience, set some high goals for the next 20 I'm failing on score, tried not to score under 5, with this one it will make it 2 sub-4's. Met all my other goals. You know what my goal is for the next 20.
Anyway filling good this evening, want to Thank all the DPC'ERS, I'm having a great time, and my shooting skills are getting better.
Life is Good!!!!!!!!!!!............ace

| man, this is getting ridiculous! I have entered, some racy, edgey, photos and I have entered some borderline deep photos, and they all scored low. So this one I set out to create a shallow, almost in your face darkness photo for both fans, one being dark image, two being scary, and threatning. The technicals are quite good, the colors are great, and still 5.5, what the heck do you voters want. LOL, ya'll are gonna drive me bonkers. |

Maybe all the voters are trying their own art vision of darkness by causing confusion and generally dark emotions to be invoked with in the artists they are voting on....
Maybe

| it seems to me people used more imagination in there titles and in justifying there pictures than in thinking more befor hand and capturing a image that stands on its own merit |

Yeah I have seen quite the same thing with the titles. I have to admit though as much as I normally wouldn't, the titles helped the scores in at least half a dozen of my votes. |

Wow, just finished voting this challenge and there are some great shots. I agree that the challenge is wide open to interpretation, but as a noob to this, I would like to get a few comments on my voting criteria.
To me, a macro with a black background does not convey darkness in any way. Likewise, a photo that makes me really work to try to see what the subject is only just dark. Cool lighting effects on a black background leave me feeling like I am looking a a Pollack painting; I don't understand either one.
Basically, the photos that "I" like, that touch me and move me, get the most consideration. I am not a technical purist, but I feel that I generally rate a photo technical merits also. A photo that I like and is good technically but does not fit the challenge imo will receive a 7 or so. The only photos that ever rate 1 are photos that insult me or are just attempts at being clever (forgive me to the folks that submitted 640 x 480 black frames, but you got a 1 from me).
Lastly, grats to all of you that have the courage to even submit a photo that you put some serious thought and effort in to. Someday, I hope to have that courage. Until then, I will continue to learn from you all. |
