I just got another 3... so I am lingering below 4.. with 0 comments after 17 votes. This is going to be another fun week with trolls! Now I am starting to understand why commenting is such a sensitive topic on DPC: not many like to do that:-)

I'm tempted to find time to comment on the whole challenge. I see a lot of pictures with, e.g., blown out skies or highlights. Unless those details are enhancing the effect of the picture (significantly) then I see no reason to accept it as an overexposed photograph.
Then again, if I comment dnmc then I'm the devil, right?
Now this:
for example...

I guess I should have used a faster shutter speed and a smaller aperture. Come to think of it, the ISO was a bit high, too. Stupid of me. |
If you ask me, the shot you take, is right from your perspective, but may not be right for 100% of the viewers. Somebody said on these forums last week, about conforming to mass taste versus doing what you feel is right. Both are important, I guess. In my short stay here till date, I have noticed many entries that a few rated top notch, but they didnt get the ribbons. In fact it was interesting to note that ratings for other's images that came with a comment (from commenters), complied more with my expectations. Does that mean that the votes of those commenting alongside, are more reliable? I dont know... something to note and explore:-) |

I am not too sure from my very brief experience here, but commenting (esp. critical commenting) is discouraged indirectly... I have seen at least a few people getting highly emotional after reading critical comments, and retorting back aggressively. I would still say, please comment, let them come. We need to learn, and comments are one good way to do so. |

Looking at your most recent 120 comments made, I find not a one in which you have distilled the entire response to "DNMC". Sorry, but you don't qualify as the devil after all. When "DNMC" is the only content in a comment, the recipient may feel unjustly dismissed by someone who is to "busy" (rude?) to bother with any actual comment. If an entry is only high key, or just has a blown out background, or is overexposed in a way that makes the image worse instead of better, then say so explicitly. I have actually had people thank me for constructive criticism when I give specifics, so fear of anything other than positive fluff is not universal here. |

I am really shocked at this score. I think that's it's a beautiful image and the overexposure enhances that.
Maybe I just suck at life *shrugs* |

I entered this shot knowing that I was flirting with the DNMC crowd. Sorry to say but I was correct. I will admit that the overexposed area is small and acts more as an anchor point in the image than as part of the main subject. But I do think my overexposed area adds to the image artistically. I think this is one of the best shots I have entered at DPC.

This is not the end of the better half of the world..and you are doing much better than I am. Like this great soul once said: "when you feel sad, look down unto the ones who have less than you do". So look at me and be happy:-) |
