i did not use bad, ugly , DNMC , if it was good i say good , if it ws meeting the challenge bad bad quality i explain why, and if it was not meeting the challenge and bad quality, i tried to understand what's the message being sent

The comments are dead on in most cases and I appreciate the feedback. Did not expect much from this one and I will admit myself, piss poor entry. Hey, it is all about the fun and adventure. Learning and laughing at oneself is great. I have decided not to get too upset with idiotic comments from those who have never attempted to enter a challenge. Happens to everyone and we just press on to the next challenge.

***** I have mainly positive feedback about this photo. I know where I can go better with it and improve now so am not too unhappy. I really just wished some people were totally honest. If I vote 1-3 I ALWAYS leave a comment and the same for 8-10. anything in between sometimes gets comments.

Sigh

Don't put in random shots with shoddy execution even if you think the idea's cute..

Actually I have put a shot that I shot for another challenge and then put it into another challenge. It is fun thing to do, though.
and yes I do not mind 4.5, would not much hurt my already low vote received average.

Nooooooo - my post was a joke. In the post just before mine, Urfa said to remind her using exactly those words. I just quoted her without hitting the quote button.

But I think I would have done better to have done just that. I was going to enter this in the still life challenge, but couldn't get the lighting right (either too dark or the computer screen unreadable), and I thought it might be too much to expect people to read my entry (Title is "Brain Research" and you can read the screen if you click on the thumbnail).

Coming up on the last call to try to convince me your DNMC shot really did meet the challenge. Normally, when I hand out this many DNMCs, I figure I must be missing something, but I can't figure out any broader definition that I can live with. Again, I'm not promising anything, but it might be worth sending me a PM. :)

Meanwhile, my own shot is exactly average: 5.5.

levyj413,

JuliBoc,

kdiverdown,

smardaz,

codfish - thanks for the great constructive comments on my entry. I like it okay (it clearly meets challenge in a hit you over the head manner), but it was missing some important editing and you all provided great info to improve it. Where were you guys last week!!!

5.7 and holding...

I got that but I was saying that there are people like me, who actually do it. (shot for another challenge, then just because another challenge has many entries, put their shot in the one it was not shot for.

Challenge: Extreme Emotion: Faceless (Jul. 18th 2007 - Jul. 24th 2007)
Rules: Basic Editing
Submissions: 108
Voting Deadline: Jul. 31st 2007
Details: Capture extreme emotion. However, the face of the emotive subject should NOT be the main focus of your photo.

Title of Challenge: Extreme Emotion Faceless
Details of Challenge: Capture extreme emotion. However, the face of the emotive subject should NOT be the
main focus of your photo

The Title is a title the details are the rules:
Nowere in the details does it say faceless it does say that the emotive one should not be your main subject though.

Is it that hard to understand that there can be faces in this photo challenge and the focal point of the picture the main subject can be a face or whatever and that the emotive subject should not be the main focus !!!!!!!! (get it yet) anybody who DNMC a photo because there is a face in there is realy not paying attention to the photography anymore just trippin on themselves I am getting tired of the drama lighten up!!!!!
sincerly

Oh my goodness, from the recent comments (and my score has gone above 4.5 for the first time), I think maybe some voters actually got it!

It's just one of those things that if I have to explain it, you probably won't get it anyway. And I probably took the "facelessness" a bit too far...So now I'm happy, lol.

Not really. Both are relevant and many voters never read the details.

I'm looking forward to seeing your entry, because you've posted the same thing twice now.

To me, if you have a face, you're on the edge, but if it's hidden or not important to the image, you're okay.

However, if a face is the main focus point, you're DNMC. If the face is the main way you portray the extreme emotion, even if the face isn't the main focus point, you're also DNMC.

I think the point is that faces are the usual way to show emotion, so the challenge was to portray extreme emotion without using facial expressions.

You just proved my point Thank You

Most pictures displaying sad situation show what could be an emotional situation they may even make you emotional they do not show emotion..... emotion is a gester or a facial expresion not an act or the photo of an act not showing gester or facial expretion
