This one scared me but I entered anyway and wound up in the 8% .. lesson learned .. watch out I've been studying and trying different things with my camera since I did this shot .. I learned LOTS!! :)
well you'd sort of expect it to be a high scoring challenge wouldn't you? the concept is obviously good (since it won a ribbon already, and how could it NOT meet the challenge? it's really a technical challenge more than anything.
i think there were some kickass entries, many of which equalled or improved upon the originals (which is not at all a knock on the originals).

Oh stop, you're making me blush. Mine wasn't THAT much better than yours....
*pause*
Oh. You weren't talking about my entry.
Nevermind.

Agree partially. It is a great selection of winning concepts which were officially allowed to plagiarize :), so no surprize the scores were high. However I did not view it as simply a technical challenge and tended to score higher photos which had an original twist (humorous or otherwise) on the theme of the dejavu'ed photo, not nearly-identical replicas.
This has nothing to do with this link, but I have a question....
Is this site for amateurs or professionals? I was just wondering since there are some sites that are advertising their studios. By outright linking, and by other, creative ways....
Is this fair? I am not complaining by any means, but just wanted to know what you think about not only trying to get votes for a pretty darn good photo and one that has the opportunity of ''just right lights'' and all the perks pertaining to a studio!
Thanks!

It's for both... and there is advantage to the amateurs to see what the professionals are doing. I don't see any problem with the pros linking to thier sites.
For example, while I make my living doing photography, I consider guys like Brent Ward "more professional" than myself and watch the stuff they do.
Agreed that the top to bottom quality of this challenge is one of the better I've voted on.
This is the first time I did not score a single image below a 5.
My voting pattern has changed considerably since starting DPC so I'm pretty sure there would be others I would vote similarly now. I prefer to think I have become more enlightened in my thinking; after all, site guidlines suggests a "10" is "good", not that it is perfection in its highest form.
