The "Suck Gang" aka "Team Suck" are accepting nominations for two distinguished sucker awards.
An OOBIE sucker is awarded to an "Out Of the Box" entry in a DPChallenge, something that meets the challenge in a creative fashion that DPC voters might not have properly appreciated.
A YAPPIE sucker is given to a commentor for either a particular comment or a history of great comments.
The coveted sucker award looks like this:
So if you have ideas for someone who should get an OOBIE or a YAPPIE, please post your suggestions in this thread.
I humbly ask that you consider this picture by Hairlessman for an OOBIE:
Not only is it an elegant still life, it meets the challenge in several creative ways. First, the vase shape is is lit in a dramatic chiaroscuro fashion, from the side, emphasizing its elegant form. Second, because it is through a window, we have the play of light through the window and reflected off of the window. Shots with reflections by their very nature become studies in light.
i nominate this one for OOBIE
i loved the feel of this image, the lighting, the grain, and it was so way out of the box im not sure it knew there was a box.
Would you (Out of Focusers) PM quiet_observation with your ranked picks for the above awards before 12 Midnight EST Sunday, 10/29? The OOBIE vote for example, give me your first, second, third, ... choices.
