I haven't seen any more stinkers than usual, but there are some otherwise good photos that don't appear to be well thought out given the topic. In some cases, the title is so long you'd have to stop your car to read it. In others, I have no idea what the billboard is promoting. I see shots of actual billboards, vertical formats, questionable attempts to get text into the photo, etc. - but the photography is generally on par with most challenges.

And where does it say it HAS to be 640x320?

I got the same one! My actual 640 X 329... go figure

Edit: To protect anonymity, sorry my post was also giving you away (I am hitting myself over the head right now)

I was looking at the entries, and thinking, those don't look like billboards. And then I figured it out. It wasn't a picture OF a billboard, but one that might GO ON a billboard. Read carefully, Ursula. Oh well.


that makes two of us Ursula
soo.. the brown is between u and me i guess
good luck

I think there's an algorithm or a filter in place that weeds out the below 0 voters. ;)

I can't complain really, my score's above my average. For now, that's my goal, not to let my average go down.

I wasn't going to enter, then about 5 minutes before the deadline, I suddenly realized I had a shot for it, whipped into PS for a 2 minute (or less) crop, levels & USM, uploaded, figured out a title and entered in data, came back to look at how it would look and time had run out. Talk about down to the wire!

Pretty jazzed with it actually:

Like Brad, mine was just something I happened to shoot which I felt would look really good on a billboard, and might even be the kind of pic on a billboard. Had my scores turned off but just peeked, and it's not good.

I guess I'll never figure this place out.

A decent score, but I really would have done better if I cropped it a bit differently. I entered at the last minute. We all learn from our mistakes. Good luck all!

My score has gone down A LOT. I was at 6.6 yesterday morning and now I'm at 5.9. Weird to see that big of a drop.

Fortunately this isn't an entry I'm really attached to and I was never expecting higher than 5.5 so it's all good.
03/01/2005 03:50:02 PM · #97
I'm shocked! Can't say too much, but I thought I was going to get hammered. Sitting at 5.7 with 13 comments. :-)

how often do they have 48-hour challenges?
