This was my pick for blue - obviously I suck at guessing how DPCers will score images.

idnic I liked that one ---and also this one.

I thought several were very good and really captured the theme well. I didn't enter but thought it was a fun challenge with a lot of good shots.

Hey Robert thanks for the thought. This photo still tops all my challenge submissions and am happy with the score. Thanks again for the votes and comments

This one was nice, but I found the red tint to be a little much on it. Great composition and I still scored it very high, but I think some curves adjustment or saturation changes would have helped it.

Agreed completely. It was nice to see a refreshing take on the challenge and the quality of the image is superb.

This was one of my 10's, can't believe it scored so low (50th)


Others I thought would place higher:

I thought this shot deserved much more.

Some of the best in the challenge are the black & white and they scored pretty well. Notable high scores included beautiful work by - jmsetzler, e301, hotpasta, Falc, c_rosney, TommyMoe21, yantski, PhotoRyno, Johnnyflash, graphicfunk and others.

Lower than 5.5 b&w that I also enjoyed included:

I didn't give any 10s in this challenge. My top picks were all way underrated:
10/30/2006 01:14:23 PM · #19
I saw a lot of great photos in this challenge, these are the ones that I narrowed down to 10s.

there were many great photos in this challenge, but I thought mine was really underrated....

I actually shot a real train in a country that hasn't had trains for the past 100 years, and back then there were only one train going from the harbour to the coal storage.



and I got some comments on cloning away some cars in the bg, when editing the image I thought it was basic editing....
10/30/2006 02:47:14 PM · #21
this one was highly underated in my opinion. I cannot believe it only finished in 90th place.

Thanks everyone. I got a lot of comments on the tint be it some thought to much red some too much yellow. Shows the importance of a calibrated monitor, this picture looked nicely balanced on my monitor at home, but on my monitor at the office it appeared to have more of a red tint. Once I saw the difference I decided it was time to take to time to carefully calibrate my monitor at home.
