Note: This photo is not an entry. This photo is me indulging myself in photography for a moment (imagine that!).
Dang! It's been so long since I posted a shot here, I had to think twice about what I was doing! Gimme a critique, oh guest judge of the round. Don't hold back now (not that I thought you would!).
Ok...I am game. I added mine to the gallery. Just a side note though. I used the old standby of drag and drop downloader (which is the one I always use) and after it was done downloading it asks if I want to admire my album I just downloaded too. Well when I clicked yes. It took me to the page but my picture wasn't there. It also said I was logged out. So I logged back in and walla...my picture is there and I was able to add the caption.
So it all turned out ok in the end. But if it happens to you just log back in...there seems to be a little glitch.
So if anyone wants to give me a heads up on what you think of my image go to the gallery and let me know! Thanks! Hopefully I wont have to go back outside...its cold out there!
Just curious If the COMMENTS section is also going to be live during the contest. ?? I thought that discussions were frowned on.
There is this discussion here for DSS #15, the pictures are in the gallery. I'm guessing no comments will be in the gallery until after the challenge has ended.

Why not? I was hoping you all would start commenting as the entries came in. Doc, is there any tehnical reason not to do this?

Hi, Emily
C&C..... well i told you i could give you some comments.
but first let me point out Doctorit has Turkey Sammich way to low on the list...
anyway, there is quite a challenge in commenting on a image like this, its not like you can go back and reshoot...
knowing all the images i have of my children that are really really special to me its easy for me to say you have a really good one here.
I think Linda & Benjer had some great comments, i could not express myself that well within a post...
my only suggestion,... is,.... i believe a true contrast B&W would benefit this image best...and a little tilt adjustment like suggested by Benjer..
My wife describes it as: "A cross between italian and a sour dough bread. It doesn't have that after flavor that regular sour dough read has. It's closer to a soft italian; but it's not exactly italian". Makes good sized slices. Imagine a perfect slice of turkey all the way across the big side of a turkey breast. That's about the size of a slice. Put a little mayo on one slice of bread, add said big slice of turkey, add some stuffing and gravy, spread a little cranberry sauce on the other slice and place on top. You have one yummy sandwich. :eat

Well therein lies your problem. Please re-read the instructions in the first post of this thread.

Absolutely not! Do you really think we'd do that?! Again, see the first post, as well as what Dan just posted above (although he made a slight typo, it's plural).

Missing photographer, "Sisters"
In the holiday spirit, I'll post this here - however, please be advised, in the future, I will not be posting errors like this individually and everytime, they will simply be disqualified when the challenge closes.
"Sisters" is missing any photographer info. If we don't know who entered it, it's DQ'ed.
Welcome to Round #15 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member. It will run from Monday, December 15, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5) to Monday, December 29, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5).
The topic ready for your interpretation:
Family or Strangers
How do you portray relationships in an image? Please don't show us a standard studio family portrait with everyone wearing denim! This is a perect opportunity for candid work, street photography and informal portraits. Body language, facial expressions and environments can be keys to unlocking the story of relationships. Or perhaps none of this appeals to you, and you will search for alternative definitions...
Your Judges:
#1 Divamum
#2 AaronNelson
IMPORTANT NOTE:We're going to try something new this time around - you'll be submitting your entry directly into a Smugmug gallery! It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page:
Since this is the first go around, let's all relax and see how it goes, ok? Just so you know, the login we're giving you is "assistant" level, which means you can't really mess anything up too badly - read: you can't delete anything. There may be a few snags here and there, but our chief challenge-mechanic, DoctorIt, is going to work them out. Please PM him and only expect a reply on urgent issues. No more size, and hopefully no more exif issues! This thread, for the most part, is only here to give you this info. For this first go at gallery submission, we can try to address any common issues here.
Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your exif will be embedded in your image, no worries!
To avoid disqualification, read, in full, the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge Rules, there have been some slight modifications.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
I've noticed with other DGrin galleries that the caption I enter in the e-mail body doesn't carry over because I'm using e-mail over the Web instead of through a program like Outlook. I wonder if this is a bug and is affecting others like it does me?

works fine in our tests, but even if there is an email glitch for some, there's really no excuse, as you all have access to login and fix your captions.
Just wondering how do you delete a photo from the entry gallery?
I would like to keep the one with the * by my username, and delete the other...
Tried using the "tools" and the "delete" but it appears blocked.
Thanks

You're only as good as your next photo....
One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."
