I entered my 2nd photo using my newly purchased 20D. This photo is going to rival my lowest score, which is pretty bad. LOL!

I tried to push the boundaries of the "box" and I think I've pushed too far. People aren't getting it. I also went artsy, and people just aren't digging it. I like it, and that's all that really matters, right? Right? Anybody?

Oh well, I still have my new camera, which takes AWESOME images (although I'm just not submitting those). The colours are better, the dynamic range seems better, and the metering is so much better than the Rebel. It turns out ALL my Rebel shots have been underexposed by about 1/2 stop. That sucks, considering I took close to 8000!

Thanks for all the low scores. I'm still having a blast!

Haha, I did about the same! My new 20D's first entry came in very low... 363 I think. It was a bowl. I liked the natural lighting, but apparently, everyone else thought it sucked. Oh well, I love my new camera too!!!

My first and only submission so far with the 20d for the "Parts" challenge didn`t exactly "set the heather on fire" either..but I am delighted with the camera and the whole new scope that it gives me.
The 17-85 IS lens is a perfect accompaniment for it and allows me to take pictures in conditions my Fuji just couldn`t cope with.
