True - but there is subtle and then there is subtle. If you take five minutes scratching your head wondering WTH when looking at an image that's not subtle, that's obtuse. :>)

imho this is a very poor challenge with regards to quality of work, I've still got to run through my votes again but there are maybe one or two that will get bumped to an 8. That said I actually submitted a test shot and never re shot it to correct the flaws.

Well, I wouldn't say that - it seems like all the submitters at least made the effort to meet the challenge subject criteria - for me, it was just a little odd that I just couldn't see what the authors were getting at as I'm fairly open to ideas and concepts that are somewhat outside the norm if you will.

I just simply ran out of words when I kept seeing the same idea, or had to really struggle to get the point, over and over again. At that point, commentary becomes very unpleasant and a chore which is not the point. So you just rate the images as best you can, comment where you can and move on from there.

FWIW, your comment on my image was perceptive, germane, and succinct -- thanks. (Hope that doesn't give too much away!)

I live to serve. :>)

And it didn't give anything away - I did manage to make comments on about half the images.

I guess my image just doesn't fit the criteria of the challange, or is just poorly executed? I thought I was really on to something, but oh well, it is up to the voters to decide the merits of each shot.

BTW: Thanks for your comment TeaFran, I am glad you caught on to what I was attempting with the image.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to whom ever the nice people are that have just given me a good score. As a result I am now above 7.0 for the first time ever since joining DPC. I have my fingers crossed that it will stay there now so that I can tick another goal off. How much would it cost me to bribe Langdon to end the challenge now?
