Just reading the above makes me think, that one must read the challenge descriptions out aloud to oneself at least 5 times, sometimes we read what we think we want to read. I've done that believe me, and if it wasn't for these threads I would've entered a DNMC on more than one account.
Just in case you didn'nt read it properley:
Compose your subject using the rule of thirds while using blue as your primary color.
This to me means, the main colour of my photo should be BLUE, not the actual subject I'm photographing, but the main colour in the photo...........just being pedantic i know :) |

I think I like your interpretation better. I think a bluebird would fit the challenge just fine, even if the background wasn't blue. |
No, no; you're both wrong. We need to see a blue bird (it doesn't have to be an actual Bluebird) flying against a blue sky. -1 for puffy white clouds. -2 for the inclusion of any other colored objects in the foreground or background.
Incidentally, my own entry does not contain a blue bird or any sky at all, and therefore DNMC ;-) But I like it, anyway! |

Wait, I thought this challenge was about a wine glass positioned on the one thirds line in front of a blue background with a darker blue water drop frozen in it... (again?) |

Only if it also includes a blue frog leaping.
ETA: it is acceptable for the blue frog to only be visible as a reflection in the darker water drop.

| That's it! I'm unsubmitting mine! I don't agree that the photo has to be mostly blue, but rule of thirds is definite. If the colors in your shot are rather drab or muted, a bright blue subject to me would work. |

| I have submitted my image to the Thirds in Blue challenge . It's okay. I really like the image. (Several more nonsense sentences deleted by me.) |

I wonder if someone will enter a shot of a depressed person (the "blue") sadly sitting on the 1/3 line
perhaps calling it: Felling Blue Without You... |

That's how I interpreted it and that's how I have submitted. I don't care how it scores. |

I totally agree. To limit this to strictly blue on blue pictures would likely cause for a pretty boring challenge. It'd be like  amsterdamman said. It'd be entirely set up shots with no flexibility.
Don't unsubmit it! Enough people will be reasonable about it. |

| I agree, the subject should be blue. And with that said, I have failed in finding what I wanted to shoot, and then unable to get downtown for my second idea. So it looks like I'm not in this one. |

That's my interpretation too - use ROT to compose and blue as the dominant color. I am somewhat confused about the other interpretation. |

Good luck, could even be the primary colour is blue and all other colours other then yellow or red, but what ever is the primary colour should be in the rule of thirds area. |

I am in, for better or for worse ;)
PS The latter is more likely

I suspect, as there seems to be a lot of different opinions on how to interpret this challenge, that I will get a lot of DNMC votes. But it's also possible I'll give a lot of DNMC votes.

So does DNMC equate to the lice of Art and the inability to relate to an image and what the photographer is trying to convey? |

Actually I was being facetious, there is no real wrong interpretation as far as I'm concerned.
Sorry the sarcasm wasn't evident enough.

Yes, it will interesting to track votes on this one. What is your interpretation?
PS I just reread this thread - it is the same as mine and Bear's, I hope that is the majority.

Sorry, it means does not meet challenge.
Yes, people nit pick the challenge topics to death. The way this topic is worded means it can be interpreted in a number of different ways. On first reading it I thought one thing, but I've read it a couple of times and no longer have a fixed opinion. I know some people will probably even put a thirds grid on top to calculate if the subject really is on the thirds line (voters I mean).

Ahhh, got it. Amazes me that people do not try to relate to an image. If they cannot relate to an image, then how can they relate to what they are photographing? what are they trying to capture that pushes the image past a snapshit in time. |

Voting on 150+ images takes time, and I can understand the speed voters, I've done it, I think we all have.
How intense were you starring at bug macro photo #127... We all glaze over after enough of the same things.
A great photo that does not fit perfect will get a similar score to a perfect challenge entry that is not such a great photo.
The winners tend to be great photos that meet the challenge description very well also.
Art will always miss the masses, if you disagree, check out what is on TV, the most dumbed down and common opinion driven form of "art" in society.
Not very creative, very rare to have a innovative take or view of an event, and loves to live inside the smallest box we have (see "Jersey Shore" - I am South NJ born btw).
The laugh track shows they have not produce funny or thought provoking material in a long time.
Its hard to think and have opinions, much easier to use some ruler to measure art. Weight, price or possibly size are the greatest measure of quality art! Ask Trump.
Same applies to the DNMC crowd with their small box sized rulers checking the dimensions on our stylized art. Its an ethos I guess. |
