In a photo comment, it means to raise the score from what they originally gave you :-)

This is going to be an interesting challenge. There are some very good entries, and there are a number of entries where soft focus was confused with out-of-focus. Others, I'm not sure how they are different from normal focus.


Originally posted by hotpasta:

I reckon that people have made two mistakes here...they either entered shots with out of focus bg's which Zi don't believe was the intention of the challenge, or they took shots and gave them a soft diffuse glow, which is ok, but the softness doesn't suit the subject matter...I mean, some were actions shots...isn't soft focus for when you want something to be warm and cuddly and serene and gentle?


Originally posted by David1411:

Use this technique in an effective way to convey a message to your viewer.... I may be way off base here but, I do not think the majority of the shots made any point or message at all :(


If these comments are an indication of what this challenge is supposed to be about (and I do think these guys are pretty much right on the mark) then.. I have a great shot. I don't want to go into detail but, if anyone's familiar with my attitude towards my own entries they will know that I would never say that without reason.

But... I have a 4.7. Now I guess I can't complain too much, because my average vote received overall is a 4.4 - plus I've gotten some really great comments. It just... I'm really frustrated. Apparently my not-in-the-boxedness is really hurting me.

edit: I should say that I don't agree with the above quotes because my image is that way. I made my image the way I did because I read stuff prior to entering that suggested these types of things.

Heh, it's usually the case that I'm reading the challenge score threads and thinking the exact same thing.

Aw, you're so welcome :-D I just loved those colors!

*sigh* well, I guess mine will just keep hovering betwen 5.2 and 5.4. I had very high hopes for this one too. The first six comments were all very positive (including two positive comments from people who have a few ribbons *smiles at Judi*). Finally I recieved two complaints that might give me a clue why the average is not a 6... too soft! lol. I can never win. At this rate it won't even make personal best, even though I know it should be. Ah well. I've created a photo that I can spend hours staring at in fascination (partly in shock that its mine, lol). So, I'll just go back to staring at my pic, its much nicer to look at than my score. :) And really, its not a bad score... but I know it deserves better. /end mini-rant
