actually if you look up the commenter and the comments he has left - that appears to be one of his favourite comments ;- )

He obviously has a preference on how titles should be presented.

Let's move on already.

Heh ... I noticed that. Also noticed the average score that person hands out. I shrugged it off, but it is silly.

And up until Rob O had posted he got it also, mine was and technically is still a baghead so I didnt know. Im already moved on, I dont care if people dont like the shot. Art is subjective.

To CNovack,

You left a dissertation on my photo that i read this morning, and i just wanted to say thank you. That is the type of helpful commenting that a rookie such as my self needs. You pointed out the good qualities of the photo. You pointed out the flaws. Then, you went above and beyond by suggesting solutions to the flaws and extra techniques to try out. That is awesome. I really appreciate it. Thank you!!!!



You are quite welcome. Glad to help.

If I don't manage to hit upon yours while voting is going on I will come back and comment on your entry after rollover.

Bleh, would still love more comments explaining the score.

So, I decided to channel my disappointment in being rewarded with a below five score by doing something creative and fun:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) It is also very tongue in cheek. Anyone who is getting a PW with this challenge or any challenge is quite welcome to grab and paste this blue,red,and yellow ribbon to display on their work.

CNovack - I am hoping you tag my photo too.

I had to apologize to anyone thinking their view count is going up oddly - I keep going back to look at some of the absolutely adorable pets out there! Thank you all for sharing!! This one is fun to look at.

As this is my first ever challenge entry (a snapshot) this will be my Personal best and personal worst. Can I still use your ribbon? It will go with the Brown I am expecting.

P.S. It also got a favourite

A member since 2005 and your first ever challenge?? It's about time to join the party!

I have entered very few challenges as well, and I did enter this one. I'm trying to enter more this year. Not so much for the abuse, but they do force me to work on my skills.

That coming from a member since Sep. 10th 2003 who has only entered 4 challenges. "Pot, Kettle, Black" comes to mind

I always was a slow starter!!

I personally would rather leave it blank and let the person who is watching the photo come up with their own view on what the photo means.


How about filling in the title area with.....

(Insert Your Own Title)??? ;-P

C'mon guy's - I ignored it earlier - but why would a good or bad title not make a difference to a viewers experience of a picture ?

A title should be a vehicle for helping the viewer understand what the photographer was trying to capture or create, it can be factual, evocative, emotional, humerous, observational. . . so many things, but if a title is used it becomes part of the intrinsic viewing experience of that picture.

I'm guessing you have picked up books or DVD's before and been encouraged or put off by the title ?


Im not saying that it could put off people, I have a very avg title that neither helps nor hurts the shot in my own opinion, however I think its interesting that it was the only thing that the person could up with to leave a comment on the image for. I just saying literally its all the comment says. Not the shot is great, or the shot is horrible... Just the title is no good.


On mine (again, Grey challenge), it literally stated "the title hurts this one" ... as if to say the image scored lower because of the title. I totally agree the title is contextual, and can even alter the viewers mood depending. But to vote a photograph higher or lower in a *photography* challenge because of the title, whether it's just a sh!tty title or even because it evokes unwanted emotion, is silly.


With the way things go in here sometimes, it could be worse!

Here's a few examples:

This photo hurts your score.

I'd like this if....it were a different photo.

Love the framing, hate the shot.

I would have scored this an 8 or higher had you removed the photo and left the frame.

Your model reminds me of my mother and I hate her! 1

Looks like you didn't even try!

I really like this shot and I'd give you a higher score, but my standard score is a 2. :)

Your shot is outstanding, the technicals are brilliant, the colors are so vibrant. What is it?

The title distracts me.

Where's the apple? Oh, wait, this is the pet portrait challenge. 2 I don't see an apple.
