One of my favorite shots on DPC. I would give it a 10! Hopefully others feel the same. I'm going to frame it and put it on my wall.
09/21/2009 12:36:40 AM · #12
ah well, not doing as well as I had hoped, but it's one of those cases that I'm happy with it, and that's good enough for me. Though I wouldn't mind if it went up tomorrow... :D

5 votes. 5 fives. It seems to be indeed a mediocre average image in the voters opinion, so far...

The first few voters liked it, but the next ones disagreed.

Either I totally missed the point of 'missed focus' or the majority of the entries did. We have had Out of Focus (OOF) challenges before - where nothing was intended to be in focus. It appears that folks took this to be the same. I took it to mean that the subject itself was not in focus, but at least one other part of the image was in focus. Can't say I was too thrilled with many of the images. Seems those who felt the entire image should be out of focus are letting me know their views too:

Still doing ok after a few more votes. Not fantastic, but not badly either.

I bailed out at the last minute, glad I did now. Even after seeing the entries I'm not sure what the goal was here. Seems like a poorly worded and nebulous challenge to me. Good luck to those braver than me who entered!

It shouldn't matter whether all or part of the image is oof, so long as you use oof in a compelling way :)

I am happy with my score. If it hits the 3's...I will be self DQ'ing...but I certainly don't want this style of image on my profile page. So mid range suits me just fine.

5.2

dissapointingly reasonable for my shot.

Ran out of time, again, shooting.

How long do most folks spending shooting and over how many sessions for a typical challenge?
09/21/2009 04:19:49 AM · #24
For the folks who think they are sucking... try having a 4.1 :(
And I thought it wasn't this bad!
