We're not supposed to be bragging here - check my scores...lots of times i'd have preferred a 4.756 to what i got!

BTW - at the top of the Post screen are 5 icons -the last one is for posting pics from your portfolio - you are doing it the hard way.

Okay...well, that was my lowest scoring. This is the one I like the least. I think it's boring: (and I did use the posting icon you mentioned so I'm not sure what you mean about the "hard" way?)

4.3 and lower....


Though ive got higher scoring images that are just as bad if not worse!

First photo I uploaded to a challenge...

2.809!



My favourite comment:

"this is seriously not on task, no tech-merit at all and sure seems not worth submitting, why?"

I've learned a lot in the last four months!

This is my worst score on DPChallenge so far but my Classy Christmas entry is doing worse at the moment. And to think that I may score lower with one of my first enties with the new camera! Darn.

4.7

my worst ever challenge entry is thus:

it got 4.139. it is an appalling picture, and kind of made me stop submitting any old rubbish for the sake of it. what surprised me most was the fact that even though it finished fourth from last, no one felt it bad enough to be given a one. i felt oddly pleased by that.

the next worst shot was which only got 4.259. it isn't a very good picture, but i thought the pun in the title might have made the score a little better than this.

the next two poorest shots i think were unfairly scored low, because i like them very much. and both scored around the 4.3 mark, and i'm not entirely sure why... they're not exactly exciting, but i thought visually they looked quite nice. oh hum.

Mine -- One more step in post processing made this picture truly orange. I promise. Unfortunately, that last step occurred at 11:58 or so, so I couldn't get this one unsubmitted and the other one uploaded in time!

9% with a 4.089 (It was under 4 for a large part of the week).

Do we know who has the lower score ever for a challenge?

completely underrated, in my book...

Extraordinary compendium of horribly ill-conceived/poorly executed images. I applaud each and every one of them. However, I cannot for the life of me understand how this image received such low scores: it is ethereally lovely:



I love the black one for "indecision" also...

This is the most embarrassing thing I've ever done. I was trying for Thumbelina for the Fairy Tale challenge. I over-did it with the blurr and couldn't tell on my laptop at the time. I did the processing in a hurry and only when I saw it on a regular monitor (after I entered it) did I realize the horror of what I'd submitted.

To get the shot, I went to a butterfly garden and put this little doll in front of any butterfly that stood still. I actually took one good shot, but the realized I had the date wrong in my camera - drat. I did another try with the proper date adn this was the best I could get. But boy did I screw up on the blurr.

I got a 4.6 on it, which is seriously generous. :)

my absolute worst... 4.4 and 6%
not only did i misinterprete the challenge I also screwed up the colors using my laptop monitor :-)

my holiday decorations is actually sitting at a 4.5 right now, fingers crossed that it will have a late surge, lol

This is great! If you can't show off a ribbon winner, then how about a mediocre photo! :-) I've got a few I can share... these all being under the 20% mark.

My third entry ever for a Water Challenge 4.250 @ 7% hmmmmmmm, Don't ask

This was "things that go together" and due to a little fib in the title and not the best shot it got a 4.71 @ 12%. Funny thing, it's my MOST VIEWED shot..... interesting. ;-)

Then we have a couple of Flora shots.... Not very interesting ones at that I guess. 4.70 @ 16% and 4.72 @ 16% for June free study and Botany challenge.

And there you have it, the worst of my worst. So glad I could contribute!!! :-)

Okies, here's mine 4.694 in the 'Neon' challenge.



I've done some worse (in my opinion) but seem to have got away a bit better with those :)

My first submission:


Second submission, and brown ribbon :

12/24/2004 05:15:47 PM · #72
This is my worst:


Actually I was very dissapointed cause I really love this one.
All commenters assumed it was my kid and that's why I put this image up for the challenge. Well, it's not my kid and I just loved (and still do) this photo not because of the relation to her.

Ok, so I know why this photo is not too good. I still like it anyway.

By the way, it is totaly candid. The little girl would't really let me see her face in a photo. She was too shy... I had to "steal" this one

My worst ever
one of two entries taken with my Sony U10, perhaps proving that you do need a good camera. Though I have resolved to give this camera a try again sometime, to prove it is possible to score over 5 with it.

My worst this year
I knew I shouldn't have entered this one, but I put in so much time on a Sunday night, I sort of felt obliged. I'm really trying to get out of that bad habit.
