~since the troll repellent worked for now; sprays her "give my photo 9's and 10's spray" all over it so that it tempts people to click the higher scores.... higher.... pull it outa the drudges of troll clutches and bring it into the 'yay' category of scoring.... ~

*or at least comment why its blah in your opinion! * :-P

I am thinking that this challenge was taken completely wrong by most and the scores are going to reflect that. I admit I think I was one of those who misunderstood it and my scores are going down this morning because I think people are starting to pigeon hole what is expected in this challenge.

I'll be expecting a 10 from you then! ;)
04/12/2010 12:21:09 PM · #69
Thought this would be good for a low 5. Proved me a liar. One honest comment telling me it really sucks badly, but not why. Guess I'm supposed to know it's crap.

Some great contrived shots but out of the ordinary? I don't think so.

Ah, but there's the rub.....

What one may *think* is contrived may be represented exactly as it was. I was driving around on Saturday looking for my usual diamond-in-the-rough old car/truck/building, that kind of thing, and I stopped in at a place to ask if it was okay if I shot his old weathered outbuildings. I got to shooting the breeze with him, we eventually went into his house, and I got the shock of my life because my Out of the Ordinary entry was right there in his house. I did nothing to the way my entry is presented and it's just so weird I don't care what score I get 'cause I just love it. Fortunately, y'll seem to think it's okay......

So, *please* be careful about assuming something's been contrived, setup, or otherwise messed with when you see something that's........Out of the Ordinary! LOL!!!

You have rated 120 of 121 images (99%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 2 of 121 images (2%) in this challenge.

You have given an average score of 5.6250.

Jeb, I agree wholeheartedly with you. Same situation with my entry, stopped to shoot one thing and ended up with shooting something that was just there.
04/12/2010 12:45:06 PM · #72
My question, does it matter of its contrived or setup? As long as it appears to be out of the ordinary, it shouldnt matter if it was setup or not. I mean thats part of photography is to sometimes make art and not just find it.

Not to me it certainly doesn't, but when someone says contrived, it generally means they have an objection with the composition in one manner or another.

I couldnt agree with you more. The description of the challenge also says: "Take a picture of something that is in a weird position, looks weird, or that doesn't belong in the picture" so it could be any of it, or a combination of all.

I'm doing better after a slow start. Started in the 4.75 range, crawled up to 5.8xxx by bedtime, then woke up to a 6.33xx. Still hanging in there, and 4 good comments!
