Okay- I know you all have become acustom to critiquing photos that look like snapshots but that was part of the bet. Look- Penn State lost to Michigan, I made a bet, this was what was at stake. It should have been Sandra taking the photo of herself, but because the officials on the field mysteriously had a +$20,000 balance in their bank account immediately following the game, I guess I have no choice but to take the criticism and the poor rating to kill my average and like it, because I am a man of my word and a bet is a bet and I'm not one to back out of a bet.
So thank you for digging in the loss a little deeeper and twisting the knife with all of your comments. They are very much deserved. Love ya'll and will still love ya when all is said and done. (Except for Sandra that is!!)
Thank you for your patience!!

Congrats for a most excellent performance! I really do respect you for living up to your end of the bargain, and I don't understand the people who can't see the joke. :) So here's a fave for ya.
(For the record, I could have swallowed this had there been even a TOKEN attempt at meeting the challenge requirements!)
Yeah... uh- it was a bet, and well.. the photo was meant to bomb. Everyone else seems to get the joke but you. Lighten up a bit- have a coke and a smile!!
Can't believe there aren't more negative comments about this. I voted on every image in this challenge, except this one. To vote a 1 would have meant acknowledging it as an actual entry, when actually it has nothing to do with photography or the challenge. If DPC had to be involved at all, this should have been in the forums. (For the record, I could have swallowed this had there been even a TOKEN attempt at meeting the challenge requirements!)
Good composition. Excellent coordination of sign and expression along with hand gestures stresses the message. Excellent title. Not to judge that the hands aren't from two other people I won't DNMC this. 6
ok, why bother entering this.. please PM me and explain how this fits the challenge and how you not just a time-waster.. no need for it really. not even going to give you the 1 here.
You know that this is going to finish low for all the reasons that do not need to be pointed out, so I will applaud you for following through. Good on you.
Despite the fact that it took a 'group' of guys to create the competition experienced by this loser, yes... this is DNMC. But DQ... naw! Michigan DOES Rule!!! (and it is Maize and blue, not blue and white! ;)
Nice clear shot, well setup, good color. I would give it a 10 but would have to drop it to a 4 for the DNMC. But, due to the excellent statement about Michigan... a 7. (DPC voting purists please don't hate me)
Nice large lettering, easy to read, the back ground is a little busy, not as many people as you normally find in a group photo so I am assuming you hear voices or have multiple personalities. Overall a very pleasing image, If I were to vote on this it would a ten for the way you deflected the comments to sfarrell23!
Should have added some text to the image, that would have been the DQ you needed....
Wow, I really don't see how this fits the challenge. Maybe if you think out of the box and say.....well I think it could be a group of words.LOL! Way to hold up to your end of the bet Lars. Go Buzzards!! Welcome to the 4 club!
