My first comment was "Interesting idea. Need more focus, though." My third EVER comment "UGH what IS that?!!?" (said by another lawyer of all mature and eloquent people.)
My first challenge was waiting and the first comment was :
Dodging and Burning is a no no on open challenges...
This was from jmlelii, i then had a request to validate which was approved.
Not a good start.
jdincolsprings : I like this picture, but is more a picture of a splash than of a reflection...
which was of course fully correct, it was just a coincidence I had this picture taken, not specific for the challenge, and thought I might as well enter to get some comments. And I think the picture is flawed, some bad reflections in there which should have been avoided. It still got 9th place though...
My very first challenge was "Where's Waldo?" and to be honest, my entry sucked. My very first comment was made by Tiff, who hasnt been active in along time
Its a cute picture but your subject is not really hidden
the first comment was
"this is great, i love it... actually, i had the same idea and even took some pictures, but then decided to go with something completely different... anyway, your picture is much better than what i had... wonderful colors... 8."
for my submission
this was really exciting. I had bought my first digital camera and entered the challenge the next day. I took only one shot for this challenge before being questioned by a police officer what was I doing taking picture of a petrol pump price chart ?
