Rikki, congrats on those stats...

Doc...first 25 average 6? Come on now! :) Thats hardly fair!

And elsapo, I don't know what you are eating ( drinking, smoking, whatever) But send some up to Toronto, would ya!!?

The moment I actually show some improvement, you guys will be the first to know :)


You know, rather than reflecting any particular skill I possess, I think it probably means that my taste and DPCs taste are pretty similar. That is, it didn't take me long at all to figure out what gets high scores. Luckily, that was the same as what I tended to do before I even got here. It's nice to see that the scores have improved though.


Now see, you doctor types are so smart! :) But Doc, not only does it take insight to see what works here. You have to have some skill to translate into to the pixels..don't sell yourself short!

Hehehehe... you're smarter than you look Doc :P

My continuing struggle to figure out what DPC likes made for my lack luster scores at the get go. However, once that "DPC Look" was established, my average of 4.8+ sky rocketed. I've always been interested in photography but my interests revolved around architecture, details, and such. Learning about studio set-ups, lighting, creativity, etc were all new to me. Now I treat DPC as any other client. Give what the client likes, with your own personal touch of course, and everyone's happy.

I wasn't as concerned before about my average scores nor am I concerned about it now. However, I do try to challenge myself to improve that score. So far, when the year started, my average score was hovering around 5.5. I've managed to pull it up slightly in order to meet a harder goal of staying above 5.75 ;)

I think the beauty of this post is to show how improvement has come about to almost everyone who belongs to this site. Great job DPC ;)

My first 25 averaged 4.68 (means I suck)
The next 8 I averaged 5.287 (kinda suck)
Now I have a new camera and maybe the next 10 will result in (little suck).

Slow process but moving forward.

I dunno about that, lot´s of people with better stats. I would gladly trade in some of my average score for a couple of more ribbons :P
