Thanks KarenNfld...as soon as the challenge was announced that was my idea, I really like it myself as well. This is the first time one of my photos has ever been mentioned in one of these kinds of threads. Thanks again.

ok i am definatley no expert! But I liked your photo, power lines are busy... not your picture. I gave it a 6 i thought it would place higher |

This was a hard subject to shoot for. I would shoot and then wouldn't really know what I had until I put it on the computer. Pretty hard. Hopefully I will get better.

I'd prefer you to just skip it and don't vote on it at all.
Thanks for your explanation, though. |

Big mistake. Anyway, what's the deal? |
I did it to assure that I wasn't incorrectly voting DNMC. If I was in doubt, I doublechecked. In a couple cases I wasn't sure just what I was looking at and thought that, since eyes are used to seeing/translating positives I might better understand the photo. In one case it definitely made a difference. This is the first challenge I've done it with.
Would you prefer I check yours if I'm unsure, or just vote it down as DNMC when it actually did but wasn't obvious?
edit to add; I did NOT vote anything down because of things I saw when changing back to normal but hadn't noticed in negative, if that's what you're asking. If it was a problem in positive it would have been in negative, I'm sure.

My other idea:
And congratulations to the winners! All were quite deserving.

Most of my favourites didn't end up in the top 10. here are a few that finished way lower than I thought they would.
 
I really thought this one would do better. Judging from the comments, a lot of people didn't think it was done with basic editing, even though it was validated. I'd like to know how it was done, too.

I thought that was the one you were talking about getting the self DQ on. Was a good shot. Too bad about the wrong challenge thing. I think it'd done well.

I gave that one a 7. I really liked it, and thought it was a negative. |

I did think yours was okay, but I switched it just because I was curious to see the starting image. I must say, good work! The original was just ordinary, this is almost.... mystical? |
