Sitting with a sub-five score in the Best of 2009 challenge? A sobering dose of harsh comments? Or no comments at all? Not even a favorite from some poor, misguided soul who thinks they actually like your photo?

Then welcome to the party!

Why post your scores among those whining about their 5.7's when you can keep much better company here.

Here -- I'll start.

Yep. That's my "Best." Ironic, huh?

Let the commiserating begin... !

I'm sitting here with my worst score EVER at DPC. It's ironic that I submitted it as a "Best of 2009" entry! At least the comments have been kind.

Oh yeah. Party for sure. Four point nine and falling; my favourite hasn't shown up, and my one comment, well, I'm putting it in my box that says No comment comments.

I'll have a double serving please. :P

I don't have sub 5, but I should. I made a mistake in my 2009 entry....a stupid stupid processing mistake. I knew better....

This has been sitting for the most part just under the surface of 5 I think it belongs here. LOL

Not exactly my best score from 2009 ;-)

Looks like I belong in this thread, though I'm currently just above a 5. It's been over and under since I started looking. I've made it down to a 4.7 but currently at a 5.1.

Looks like I'm in good company!

*snif* I can't play with the fun crowd this time. I'll just take my toys and go home.

No, I expect you'll be plenty busy making perceptive comments on all our photos (as usual) ... ;-)

Next year I think I'll push to change the challenge title to "Picture from 2009 you most want people to see" ...

does my score from delicate count? It's way lower than any you've mentioned....

Sure, it's during the same voting period, and there's plenty of pity to share around ... though if we're going to include that challenge, then I get to double-dip because my Delicate score is under 4 ... ;-)

Oh, you mean stuff like "Compression kills detail. Always use the least compression you can get away with and still come in under challenge limits."

Yea, that's a classic of mine.
