Suprisingly Few Entries? - DPChallenge Forums

My theory is that everyone is abstaining in protest as they see this being a snapshot challenge. In a few hours it will strike them that they're not going to have an update button in the morning so they will quickly grab a snapshot of little fluffy just to have an entry ... thereby turning this into the snapshot challenge they didn't want to be a part of.

; )

Anyway, when I was young we considered 100 a lot of entries in the members challenges so think yourself lucky!

Edit: grammar

Exactly why I haven't entered. Too fearful of mine looking like a snapshot and getting hammered

Only 82 entries for Accidental letters with 2 days to go. Maybe there have been too many challenges, or people are all on spring break.

Well, what a coincidence. I bought a large male lion a couple of weeks ago and now they have this pet challenge... Hmmm, imagine that! ;)

Hahaha, it's not going to be a rival for my adolescent killer whale! I keep it in a fish tank in my backyard!

The UK has mountains? Is that like anything over 100 meter tall?

Well, I went out & bought a puppy for this one. Depending on my score, I'll either keep it as a memoir of my win or I'll tie it to a lampost with a Post-It note.

Anyone else done similar? I love those gifs - whatever the cost.

I went and bought a pet penguin which I'm planning on throwing off the pier after the challenge.

I don't think a post-it will be strong enough to hold it.

Just so you all know, this is going to be a real Cinderella story when I scoop up the Blue Ribbon! I can picture the DPC headlines now, "Newbie Snapshotist Puts Pro's to Shame!"

There was a small, full-bladder-related accident during the portrait shoot. I hope everyone appreciates the hardship I went through for this.

You guys are so mean! I'll be taking the pets in case you wannt get rid of them :-)
Not the pet rocks though.......

Also, I didn't know that UK had mountains.....maybe if you look at a cliff from the sea line. It's all a matter of point of view, isn't it? LoL

The Lake District has some decent sized hills too, but yes the big stuff (to us anyway!) is in Scotland.
