i was very excited about the first 8...but the second sent me thru the roof.... i know i shouldn't get too excited cause it won't stay, but it feels great to have a good start!
You must have one of the three decent shots in that challenge. Congrats! I'm probably in the minority but I find the limitations of the rules put forth mostly ho hum images.
I am in the OVER challenge but went to vote on UNDER. That was a mistake. I started giving VERY low scores to those who have really bad images (I know I know - minimal editing) but also for titles that I didn't think followed the challenge directions. It says to use a word like: under-something. So then I come across a great image that didn't use under-something. Sigh - why can't the directions be followed - it would make my voting so much easier! Guess I'm off to try to vote in OVER.

All I can really say is "ditto." I did give much more lenience due to the minimal editing ruleset, but that's no excuse for things like blurriness (and I'm not talking about the slightly missed focus shots that would have benefited from local sharpening.
That said, there were definitely some great shots, even one that got a favorite from me :)

The Challenge description says: Take a photo and title it using a word or phrase beginning with "over" emphasis on phrase.... so any title with over/under starting the title meets the Challenges

Yes, thats how i see it as well and 99% of the entries fit that.

Hey, there's often hundreds of good excuses for a nice bit of blur! (tastefully done, of course, so as not to offend the more delicate DPC sensibilities)
Anyway, i seem to be back to my usual standard after a run of high 5s and 6s...
