I just took a pic of a huge spider and her web. Do you think she showed pride in her work? ROFLMBO

I ended up doing a pride entry after all. It's not perfect, but I wasted a lot of time on it trying to get what I had in mind; it would be a total waste to not enter it at all because of my own perfectionism.

It was a challenge that "challenged me" so that's important too. Average smaverage. ;p

I'm not quite sure of my entry. But I'm glad that we're going at it again Doc! I'll see your scores and double up on them :)

I'm also curious how many woodies will be in Personification?

I couldn't come up with a thing. I tired to work on pride, but it was a totally lame entry, so I'm out this round. I'll be up for the rollover though. I'm curious to see how many knotholes there are for personification and boy scouts for pride. LOL

Good luck to everybody. Dr. Achoo - I'm watchin' you!!!!

I went for Pride. I couldn't really find anything for personification in our house. I'm pretty happy with my photo cause I think it's 'funny' but, as I have seen in the past with photos of this ilk, sometimes they can be crucified! We will see!

pride. dang I hope it works. I think it looks amazing, but I did break one of the cardinal rules of "how to ribbon on DPC" come on folks... let's break the tradition.

Neither. I predict that 95.7% of all comments will explain why this shot (any shot) does not meet the challenge.

Wide angle looks safe.

Personification, was a real challenge (and that's what made it interesting). Not happy with shot but will wait and see what people think.

10/11/2005 09:25:56 PM · #13
I think it will be really interesting to see how many people use animals for personification.

Pride here. Had fun with it.

Pride. I was involoved in a shoot that would not normally include bride. When I down loaded the images, one just screamed at me, "Pride, Arrogance, Aloof," so I entered. We'll see if it screams the same to others. My husband and son loved the shot, but had to have it explained as to how it fit the challenge. We'll see if the title makes the connection for the voters.

Good luck all!

Neither! I wrecked my good idea for Celebrate through trying to rush a pic in and I am suffering the consequences, quite rightly so as it is NOT a decent shot!
So I am not going to put any shot in just to be able to use the update button for a week! I had a great idea of a scarecrow for personification but couldn't find one! The wide angle challenge is pretty wide open so unless I get something really good I am going to leave that one too. I must admit to being a bit disappointed in the challenges recently - they are not grabbing me with lots of ideas and I see so much petty voting due to interpretations of the challenge or its description. Puts me off!

Neither. I had an idea for Pride, but haven't had time to shoot for it. I tried last night and the results were not at all what I had in mind. I could spend more time on it but I have an exam tomorrow to study for so I think I'm abandoning this challenge. Probably good, I've been quite obsessive with the update button lately. Time to lay off a bit. ;) Hopefully there will be something good next week to work on.

this week-end i've entered my very first challenge with personification and am really anxious. i'm a very picky viewer and can tell that many of you out there are also very honest about what you like and don't like and why.

funny how we can make up our minds about a picture in the first second, unless it's our own!! especially when it's something abstract as a human quality seen in an inanimate object.

well, i'm ready. bring it on, guys and girls!

I was not planning on entering and then BAM! My picture was right there. So I went with Personification.
10/11/2005 03:11:58 PM · #21
I went with "Personification." It's been quite awhile since I entered an open challenge and this one intrigued me. I thought about what it meant, and then gave a few days thought to what might work for me. My photo turned out just as I had envisioned (remarkably!) and I'm happy with it.

Who knows how it will score? LOL What I really hate is when I DON'T enter a challenge because I think my idea will tank...then I look through the challenge and think "well, maybe it would have done okay." So I quit worrying about how I think it will score because it would just drive me nuts. I enter if I like my photo and that's about it.

I really didn't give any thought to "Pride" at all because I only have time for one.

Shouldn't the choices have been Pride or Prejudice? No wait, no way I wanna try to shoot that!
10/11/2005 02:54:18 PM · #23
I went with pride also. Actually, this is the first challenge since I joined where the idea came to me right away. Now I'll just sit back and see what the voters think.

Pride for me... I am really anxious about my shot. I think it has potential to do well, but could easily crash and burn depending on the moods of the voters.

I went with pride. I had some ideas for personification but the weather didn't cooperate.

My main idea was to take a picture of Mt. Rainier and call it "Mighty" since I thought that was a good use of personification...
