Landscapes are always going to win because they rarely get dinged for DNMC. They are like teflon nothing sticks to them. :P

All in all I think the top 10 has pretty much the right group of pictures in it, EXCEPT I expected to see this one at or near the top instead of in 20th place:
I'm actually a little surprised mine did as well as it did, incidentally. I hoped it would make the top 10, but I wasn't holding my breath. A low-scoring challenge for sure; I guess death does that to people?

Frankly, I'm surprised it finished as high as it did. The problem with it is it's too much about death. Now if it was a pretty picture that was loosely connected to something having to do with death then it would have finished much higher. |

I'm glad that the toppers were mostly my choice..
For my own pic, I was disappointed to not get the negative comments to match the scores.. |

One of the few times I'll ask "what do you think this one would have done"
While I really liked the image I put in commemorating The Day of the Dead celebrated by our large latin population, it scored badly:
My alternate was this one which I titled "Maintenance Crew at Woodlawn"
What do you think. Would the Crew have done better? |

| In the top ten finishers I didn't vote on 6 of them. The four I gave votes to were a 7 and three 5's. The ones I gave ten to are in 21st, 36th, 64th, 130th, and 145th places. I didn't enter either this or life. |

- JuliaDavis' entry
Sixth place is very impressive for a first challenge entry! Certainly nothing to be disappointed about :)
There were a few comments on this picture querying how it was done without using selective desaturation - and I've gotta admin I'm curious too. How did you do it?
Cheers
Buzzy

This one SHOULD have been at least top ten. It's a shame that it's not.

| Personally, I think there are a lot of mis-placed photos in the challenge - both rated too high as well as too low. But hey, what the hell do I know. |

The results were terrible, as usual. Julia, yours was the best photo in this competition by a mile, or at least two lengths.
As to the results, you're only disappointed because you're a newbie. If you'd been here a while, you'd know what an incredible achievement it was for you to get 6th place with a photo with such a soft focus and no pop. I was amazed when I saw how highly you had placed.

| well, at least I made it to top 100. With every1 picking on my borders I went a bit more..slim this time. Still didnt help. Finished 97. Weird, a sunset was in there, that should work for most ppl round here... Is this a landscape site? landscape are always winners here..thats sick. I would love to see some smart, conceptual shots as winners, but... |

I'm confused as to what you mean that it was too much about death. The topic was death, so it got scored lower because it covered the topic too much? I thought it explored the topic very well and was a pleasing photo technically as well. i expected this to be the top choice. |
