Yes, that's the problem. I went for a DPCers friendly shot this time, but if it holds a 6, I am getting close to my goal for 2011. After that I will accept 4s and post what I like!
How do you describe a DPC friendly image? This is a serious question. Thanks.

Technical perfection, very sharp, no blurring, beautiful and peaceful subject in one of the following categories:

1. landscapes, preferably with sunset/sunrise/golden colors, blurred water is a bonus here
2. cute babies, animals with technical perfection - birds, kittens, horses do well
3. subjects difficult to photograph well - lightning, liquid droplets, auroras, night shots
4. flowers with perfect DOF

There are a few more but the bottom line is that technical perfection rates higher than artistic merit. This is most likely because a high percentage of DPCers comes from technical background (IT is particularly common).


Wow...hit two of the 3 winners directly on the nose! I was actually surprised to see a portrait with skin make the top 3 because...well aside from a nude or portrait challenge, they never make the front page.

All three shots were very good....just pointing out how you nailed it what would win.

First 5 places got some of best DPCers. I am extremely happy to see wonderful photos up front.

I wish I had "half" of their talents :-\

9 comments is more than I have for this challenge. Your images are usually on the edge and not appreciated by the masses. I think I have been able to recognize your work recently and reward it for it's creativity.

It was bohemka who made 319 (!!) comments. And not single words like "beautiful" but full sentences with main points emphasized. Unbelievable. I am sure nobody else did that. Scott deserves recognition and a special lifetime achievement platinum ribbon for that!

Last post from me before rollover. Thank you so much to all the people who commented who felt the emotion from the photo like I did when I took it. That means a lot to me. Good luck to all.
