This is one intense challenge. I spent ALL week trying to find, edit, and perfect my shot that I just barely turned in. I'l be satisfied with above a 5.5 for this particular challenge, heck, even top 50% would be cool too.

Oh man.. I am so excited for this challenge. This is the first one that I am participating in, since I'm new to this site as well as photography. I really hope that I get some good feedback about how to improve and get inspired by the awesome talent on this site! Good luck everyone!

He-he. You could end up with a Ribbon. It's been done before (1st time entry). Good luck! :-D

Indeed, that's just what I was thinking a few moments ago! With 5 hours to go, it seems pretty likely that we'll eclipse the 1k mark!

Any news on whether or not the voting period will be extended to two weeks?

Agreed - esp as some of us still have dial-up, but I would love to vote and do some commenting. You have any idea how sore a girl's arm can get turning the hand-crank on the side of the computer?!

It's not always about scores is it?


No, not at all. I purposely entered something that is not the same type as anything in my top 10 images. So all the ones I know would do well I did not use. :)

If it was going to happen we would have been informed before now.

I want to see K10Dguy choose this challenge to do 100% comments with his little stories that I have never gotten one of yet....

I wonder how many people are waiting, trying to be the 1000th entry in the 1000th challenge! (I haven't entered mine yet, but I'm still working on it)
03/10/2009 07:03:46 PM · #263
I am going to boldly predict that it will take a minimum of a 7.5 to be in the top 10. (although I do think with all the amazing shots we are going to see that it will tend to be judged more harshly then normal)

Get one of your male friends to do the cranking -they're used to that type of repetitive motion... :)

Congrats on biggest ever! Im actually counting down the hours to voting! I am going to try and vote on ALL the pictures! Im pretty excited!

This is my first entry in... well, it's getting close to two years now, isn't it?

Couldn't resist, since this was a chance to enter something old that is a personal favourite of mine. It will definitely be in the bottom 5%, if not the very bottom but, hey - who cares? The competition is way too stiff on something like this, so I thought it'd be kind of fun to throw in a, "What? Why is that here?" entry to confuse everybody. Yay! ;)

I'm in :D

Happy to be part of this historic event good luck to everyone !!!
03/10/2009 07:52:50 PM · #268
Only 61 more and we will have a 1,000 entries. I was the first one to enter and haven't changed it yet....Good luck to all!!!!

Just thought of this...does anyone remember what happened the last time we had a challenge with over the 800 mark?

With a 1,000 entries the system is going to have tons o fun computing the results:-)

I predict several hours of seeing the lovely DPC logo stating that it is computing challenge results when rollover hits :-O What will we DO while going through withdrawls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOURS?! It's hard enough making it until midnight to see results (though it's kinda fun when I do) I don't think I'll stay up for that one.
03/10/2009 08:07:43 PM · #271
953 submitted photos! I wonder if there will be another 47 submissions in the last three hours to hit the 1000 mark?!

Hehe, not really, but Spring is around the corner and I've been meaning to dust off the old camera.

I thought I'd enter this monumental challenge just for fun. I'm entering my favorite shot of all time. It didn't take long to figure out which one. It took me all of 5 minutes to edit.

Good luck everyone. I'll try to vote on all the entries and comment for old times' sake.

I'm finally done tweaking my entry. It's been submitted for 2 days but tweaked and resubmitted multiple times ;-). I've very excited about this challenge. Regardless of how my photo does, I am very happy with what I have and how it turned out. I feel like I am putting my best shot to date out there.
