Interestingly enough, today marks the one-year anniversary of the first picture I took and submitted for a DPC challenge. Exactly 1 year ago today, I took this shot for the "At Work" challenge:
and came out with a 5.456, 37th percentile, 39th out of 61 entries. Would I submit that picture knowing what I know now about DPC? No way! =] But since that fateful day when I started submitting and got addicted to DPCrack, I've averaged just about 1 entry per week (I've got 54 challenges "under my belt").

| My first entry was to the "Waiting" challenge. It was 25th out of 311 with a 5.96, and a 92%. I guess this was good. I am "waiting" on my next scores to see. :) |

My first entry:
I thought it was a work of genius, and couldn't work out why it only got 5.03!
One comment said 'this is really funny, i will be checking after the challenge where is this', which dampened my spirits a bit, why was it funny? *Shakes head* |

My first contest I got a 6.0289, 39th place out of 406 entries, and 91st percentile. I thought to myself...this is easy! A dozen or so contests later, I've improved on that score only once, and that just barely. I was convinced it was my equipment until my 15 year old daughter, with her ancient Fuji 4900, placed 9th a while back. Humbling! All my entries were taken with a Canon A70.
This week I bought a Digital Rebel, and so for the Choices contest I feel incredible pressure to do better (if only to prove to myself it was my equipment, after all!). Truth is I know better AND I know there's going to be a learning curve with the DSLR. Anyway, it's all fun and I'm learning a ton! |

Um.... YOU don't qualify as a "rest of us." No one who's ribboned on their 4th AND 5th entry, and has gone on ribbon about a kagillion times (your mileage may vary) cannot assume to understand the struggles of the masses :)
'bout as much sense as Clinton saying, "I feel your pain."
All kidding aside, y'all do great stuff and are great examples for the rest of us who keep on pluggin' away... and occasionally get lucky (both good and bad) ... or not.

My First was my best ranking to date, (5.232 120/290)"Little Flower" in Proportions.
Seems the harder I try, the worse I do, But the comments are starting to help and I'll keep givin' it a go.

My first photo wasn't so special. It wasn't that I went out and took the shot for the challenge -- I just looked at what I had shot and saw how it kind of fit the challenge.
It has been my experience I usually do much worse when I try to just use a photo I shot that week to fit a challenge than when I specifically go out to shoot for the challenge. The exception to that rule is when I posted my "Oops!" challenge picture. Of course, a real oops picture cannot be planned -- it just happens. My unplanned oops shot did fairly well -- 9th place.

my first photo scored 4.5. sadly, my current "Waiting" photo is only .3 above that now.
*sigh* |

I did OK, I got 4.907. Not my best shot ever but considering how tiny it is I'm surprised it did so well

I thought I did pretty well with my first entry (multiple light sources):
5.715
43rd out of 221
Then threw a bit of a stinker with my second (sports without players) relatively speaking.
4.748
117rd out of 162
I have high hopes for my waiting entry, but I see it's slipping hourly at the moment, down to 5.4601 down from 6.something when only three people had voted :-). |

My first submission from the cliche challenge:
Scored a 6 and placed 41th out of 246, but for awhile my score when downhill.

I started with a 5.575, and have been averaging a little higher than that since (cough- paynoattentiontoearlyMay- cough).
This topic was covered pretty extensively just a few days ago in this thread. |
