Is it just my imagination or are the a lot of elephant posteriors in this challenge. No offence to the photographers. Just seemed a bit Odd

Think about it: 1. The zoo challenge was concurrent. 2. What could be more textural than an Elephant's ass?

I was at 6.2086 once :( I hoped to score a bit better than 6. Hope it won't dip below. My photo was validated just yesterday. Still fun though.

Woot, I'm still above 5! :)
Most of my photos have dipped below 5 two days into the voting, so there's hope yet from the weekend crowd! Will it get into the 5.2's - probably not, the photo is no where near as good as reality got. This image is zingy on my CRT monitor, but only so-so on 2 LCD screens with differing configs. Oh well. Still, there's 5 days of voting left...
Look into my eyes:

Hey all... I'm probably the newest newbie here (1st entry - and just found this site like a week ago)
I just wanted to let you all know that in the future I'll probably comment more than I have, but I haven't done that many this time around... my fingers are tired just from clicking my votes...
Thanks for all the comments I've recieved so far...
Very cool community, I've learned a lot already...
and LOL on the elephants (Thought I stumbled upon a pachyderm porn site for a second there)
not that they were bad shots - just a lot of them... ;O)

Comment: Yummy, delicious, and excellent textures. The highlights are a little bright in the ****** and the very colorful background may be a tad distracting, but tough to take much off for anything in this shot. Nice composition too. 8
Hell yeah! That's what I'm talkin about!
Keep'em comin baby...keep'em comin!

I for one am voting lower on macros. I find macros are overused and lack creativity. If we were to take macros, that would have been part of the subject. Anyway, I did the same thing. Created a composition of texture by stepping back, rather than getting close and personal. I turned off the voting so I could not see the scores. I checked once near the beginning and out of 40 votes, my average was 4.8.Originally posted by theSaj:
Well looking at the submitted and the one comment I've received I see in part why I am getting slammed.
Most are macros or zoomed in close. Where as I tried to take a step back and include my "texture" as an object in my photo. I imagine if I had just taken a picture of said object out of context it would have done much better.

I again find the use of macro extremely creative. It get you close enough to almost feel the texture. If the texture were a tree bark I agree. But really to vote someone down for doing a macro of a bee or a texture on fruit or perhaps a human brain cell without a macro would be unfair.
Dont vote someone down in principal because you have a hangup with macros. Vote the image not the method, besides the photographer may have zoomed out completely and is using wide angle to boot on a lowely zoom lens.
I am just happy not to see the family album on this one. Thats why I like macros, not many family members fit in them. |

Certainly it gives credit to the MOST TEXTURED MODEL ON EARTH. "THE ELEPHANT".
The question.... does it reduce the photographers originality, creativity or does it confirm that photomanicas think alike??? |

I had some fun with this one and knew I'd get hammered for it. But hey, that's what I'm all about, having fun & getting hammered!

When I looked at previous texture challenges I saw an elephant as a ribbon winner and thought I'd try that - then I realised 600 people were probably doing and thinking the same, so I went down another path;) |

But, I'm happy with it, my highest photo was a 5, so I'm breaking my high score.

I'm pretty disgusted with it myself. The comments are pretty darn funny. I think people are color blind. Oh Well... I had such high hopes for this one, too.

Oh my! The sheer number is staggering. I've managed to leave comments but it's quite disappointing that I never even got a single one. Maybe because I'm at an average so most don't think it's necessary.
Sorry for the rant.

What are the odds that my two current challenges would be exactly 1 point different in their average scores??? Go figure!
