There were 5 DQ's for Impressionism II, none of them showing on the last page of results...Self-DQ's then, yes? Is so, that's the most I remember seeing for one challenge.
I cant, but I'd be grateful for others views on the whole Self DQ issue (for the moment I think it is prudent that I hold my own counsel on the matter)

One "oops" per 25 challenges is fair IMO. I remember using it once when my perception of the challenge was SO obviously wrong I was getting hammered bigtime. :D
I was thinking, "Whoops, that is the wrong challenge. I put that up in that challenge to compare it to the one I wanted to enter on another computer, and forgot to unsubmit it before the challenge started."
The other one was a whim. If I were a drinker, I would claim to have submitted while under the influence. :) Probably should have left it in, though. I look at it now, and kinda like it.
My one and only self-DQ happened because the entry was truly awful. I hated it and knew everyone else would too, even before submitting it. The next morning, I wondered why I felt like I had to enter even though it was utter crap? I took a step back and a deep breath and decided that I really needed to stop feeling compelled to submit to every single challenge. It wasn't an easy thing to do, really. I don't shy away from poor scores - this was more than that.
Man! you enter the shot, live with the shot, self DQ is softness in the highest order. I personally do not agree with it myself. I have had a few sub 5 images even around 4.0 but so what. Surely it is not about the score alone... my 2p worth.
