well I thought I was atleast get a 6 on this last challenge, I admit it lost a lot of sharpness when I shrunk to 150k for DPC compared to original.

but I would enjoy knowing why 1 person thought my photo deserved a 1 and why 3 people thought it a 2, I am pretty sure it wasn't that bad!

I thought your entry was great. I gave it a 7. Someone ALWAYS gives a good photo a 1. Who knows what's going thru their heads!!

kjennings, I have changed your large pics to a clickable thumb and a link due to their size. We try to keep the forums dial up friendly. Please post either clickable thumbs or links to the large pics in the future. Thanks.

Ok. As I've said before, in my haste I entered the wrong photo.

Entered Photo

What should have been

I was just wondering if people got the idea what this was. Seven obviously was in time with Lance Armstrong's record seveneth Tour De France victory. A cyclist, his bike is his tool. Does this make sense? Any feedback would be great :)

I was hoping to do higher, but I'm thankful for the comments and score

I loved your image - I'm surprised it didn't come higher

First, I loved my entry in tools, so the score did not matter to me, although making the top 100 was nice. I was thrilled my photograph manage to touch a few who commented and that always makes it worth the entry. What surprised me was the 1's and the 2's. Since it was a candid shot and a musician in action I had no control over the lights or his position on stage. And of course with basic editing I can not spot edit and in this case I doubt that I would have taken out the purple lighting. It is what was there and it set the mood. A candid shot is not staged, you have that second to capture it or it is forever gone. I never vote a 1 or a 2 without telling the photographer why and I have had responses from them and it has made a difference in my score. I guess I am beating the proverbial dead horse but I feel better now that I have vented a bit.

Well, for it being my first challenge, I'm happy with a mid-4. I would especially like to thank those that gave it 5, 6, 7 and 8's! I'm glad that you were able to look past that darn dead pixel. This is the first time I have shot a black background and I didn't know it was there. Well, live and learn. No more black backgrounds for that camera. I guess that's just a good excuse to save up and get a new camera, right? And to the person that gave my shot a 9..my God man, what were you thinking!? Nah, seriously, thanks to all that voted on it and thanks especially to those that took the time to leave constructive comments.

My best score yet in the mid 5's.

I was pleased with the comments for my first challenge entry. I cannot believe that I did as well as I did considering six people gave me a 1 or 2 ! Thanks so much for all the critiques, I will take all comments on board!
