Well, I think it is about time I gave up and take up knitting! Whatever I do for challenges just doesn't hit the sweet spot.

It is getting boring now!

Nah, I blame my low key entry on a not properly calibrated laptop monitor. If I had seen it on my monitor at work, I probably wouldnt have entered it the way it looked. My free study was mid 5's that about normal for me if you look in my portfolio. Its not the best shot in the world, but I liked it.....

Live and learn and get a desktop to do my post processing on and calibrate the monitor.

There is some amazing stuff in this challenge. My average votes cast is going to be close to a 7 on this one...
03/01/2007 05:54:58 PM · #235
I wish more people were like you, my score just took another BIG hit.

hehe, I'm not saying I don't give out low votes...just that most of the entries are excellent. I've given out about half 6s' and at least twice as many 7+s than 5 or less, and this is only my first pass...
03/01/2007 06:02:38 PM · #237
My entry is now down at 5.5.
If this shot gets a 5 then i don't care that much what score i get anymore, because i love it.

:D

This is a fun week so far. My Free Study entry and my Low Key entry are running neck to neck.

I'll be lucky if I hit my average. Oh well. I shoot for myself, not DPC.

I think it's great you can be comfortable with that but I never stood the logic. I also shoot for myself and I shoot for DPC when I enter the contests.

... and I'm already tired. This is hard work - some people get paid for this kind of stuff.

On the one hand, I know grainy photos sink like dead whales on this site.

On the other hand the piece of crap I submitted last minute to low key is hovering around 6.5.

I'll never figure it out.
03/01/2007 08:06:59 PM · #247
I too still have a personal best and hope it keeps up. Boy my face is starting to hurt from all the smiling. I won't be on the front page but I don't care as long as I stay in the 6's. I have received somewonderful comments and thank you all.

I agree. I can take thousands of photos that I like, but I'll never get anywhere as a photographer if I can't produce something that's appealing to others. DPC gives me a good idea of how I'm progressing as a photographer in that regard.

In the meantime...

This is the best photo I've taken all month, but with such amazing competition it's going to struggle to hold that 6... I just want to keep the streak alive!

and that's why the dpc status quo stays the same! :P

If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance. -Orville Wright
