Thanks guys, yeah I've been slack RE DPC entries that's for sure.
Happy to say photography is still a huge part of my life but not DPC friendly/orientated work. :)
RE Canon, I left my good old Pentax behind sometime ago and could NEVER go back.

My camera has the feature to turn ROTATE TALL (Nikon D80) off. The photos taken with Off selected for Auto Image Rotation will be displayed in "wide" (landscape) orientation. If you take a picture in portrait it will display it in landscape.
I'm sure it's a feature that most of our cameras have... |

The rotated shots are an effort at a creative approach to the topic. I see many different interpretations. Most of them valid. As long as I can clearly see how the photographer felt it suited, then I am ok with it. |
True, but if you "rotate" the entire image you are also rotating the subject. For instance a vertical man in a vertical frame is a horizontal man in a horizontal frame once rotated. There is still not vertical vs a horizontal or vice versa...
Now if you take a picture of say, a (vertical) tree in a horizontal frame, and rotate it for a creative approach, I am totally cool with that.

In my world they do. |

Wow! "Huge" improvement from this morning... when it was at 4.5 with 16 votes.
OK, it's not an stellar image and maybe does deserve a below 5 - I suppose I pushed it too much?
I'm no quitter, but I've been considering on self-DQ it if no comments come along - even if it is trashing the thing... it'd be nice to hear something anyway... Man, it sounds like a good example of loneliness.
OK, now back to our regular programming. |

I think he should comment on them all considering he's the one who caused all this confusion! :-)

In my personal opinion a rotated photo does meet the challenge, as long as there was a good reason for doing so. |
I think there is alot of good photos there that meet both ways of interpreting the challenge. Neither should be given a low vote because we think it was interpreted incorrectly, just look at the shot, see it for what it is and give it a rating based on creativity & style. No being a troll! |
You are funny David...that is certainly going to stop those trolls :)... |

But it doesn't SAY that... That's certainly ONE interpretation, but not the ONLY interpretation. Here's the challenge description:
"Make a vertical shot of a horizontal subject, OR a horizontal shot of a vertical subject."
You can "Make a vertical shot of a horizontal subject" just as easily by rotating the image 90 degrees as you can by framing a vertical subject into a horizontal rectangle/crop. Seriously.

And the description did NOT say "WITHOUT ROTATING"...so to me an open mind is good... |

Quick, find something to hang on to. The whole world is being turned sideways. I blame Bear.
Actually, I only have one comment questioning whether or not my image met the challenge. I'm sure there are more to come. |

I was going to do a "trick your eye" rotated photo originally, then I read the directions again... |

That's what I thought. I didn't think it meant to turn something sideways and shoot it. For instance, if shooting a skyscraper you'd probably shoot vertical. So for the challenge shoot it in horizontal. Like someone else said, lots of rule of thirds kind of stuff. Turning things sideways just doesn't work, in my opinion, that is. |

That's it we just don't know if they rotated the camera or rotated the pic in post. I just don't think that is what the challenge meant. But with all that said, the lowest vote I gave was a 5. |
Even if the photo was rotated the photographer obviously meant to do it when they shot it. We knew this challenge was ambiguous from the outset so i'm voting with an open mind, for me there are only a few in this challenge that are DNMC because they are neither horizontal or vertical. |

Tough one to vote in! I'm leaning towards giving the benefit of doubt

| I certainly hope folks won't give a low score just because they may have interpreted the challenge differently, just had an interesting comment pointing out my photo may not meet the rules as they interpret them, also received a low score. It is what it is.... |

It doesn't really matter does it.
If someone has 'played' with the notion of vertical/horizontal and challenged compositional or orientational convention in relation to the scene in front of them then they have met the challenge and we should just decide if we like the image. |
