So how long has it been since your personal best score?
For me, it's been almost three years now. It's been 2 1/2 years since I've changed out a photo in my top five. I'm guessing I'll die before I get a new PB, but you never know! :-)
No, no...not depressing, but telling with regards to what the DPC community finds appealing these days. :)
I'm going to stay true to me and what I like to shoot, so I may never have another PB! :P

true dat.
:) the *reality* of it for me is that I am actually making money now (wasn't when the bests were achieved, or not as much), and I feel i am a much better photog then i was then. if i really gave myself time to create, set up, shoot and edit as i did on some of those high scorers, i could probably get back up there.
I've had a good year. Three new ones in my top 5. But, they are still few and far between. It was quite a while before that.
I'm in the same boat as you Kelli. I've had 3 images since the beginning of the year rotate into my top 5 pushing a few long standing shots out. Two of those are in my 1 and 2 spot and the other currently in 4th.
As for my PB, that was only back in April when I got my first and only ribbon to date...BUT that photo and the number 2 photo down my Piano Man shot down to third which HAD been my PB for a very long time. So I've had my moments this year and hopefully I can continue building on that trend a little before it goes stagnate again. LOL.
I started with a few 6s when I joined and then went into frequent 5s and 4s :) Even a well deserved Brown! But 3 months ago I gave up on experimentation and went back to what I really like - moody landscapes. This has worked very well - I replaced all 9 top images in my profile in that time and got a new PB every 4 weeks. It is kind of nice when what one likes is also appreciated by others! My current PB will be hard to beat though.
Back in 2005 my third challenge entry got me the blue, my personal best score and what I consider one of my top five personal favorites. A 7.38 is very hard to beat. I know some will think me an odd bird but I am happy that it has not been dethroned.
I have had the same PB since 2005, which I slowly began to truly hate. This year I pushed it two steps to the right and missed a third by 0.011. The popular style shifts in waves.
2010 was good for me. I pretty much replaced all bar one of my top 5. I did manage this year to knock number 5 off, but doubt I'll see a new PB any time soon.
