Eyes is plural - shouldn't the one-eyed images have been DQ'd?

0 upvotes

Think there were a lot more 'snaps' that were much more worthy of DQ'ing. But yes, perhaps the nit picking voters eyes should have picked up on this point since it is obvious that they always read and fully take into account the 'Theme' of the challenge when placing their votes. :-)

First of all congratulations to the winner, the photo is great and the eyes of the model are amazing!
I would like to comment that the voting criteria used is very subjective so this is why it appears that many photos are not on their right placement. Many voted based on the beauty of the subject, many based on the quality of the photo and so on.
Clearly there are photos that fall out of context regarding the challenge but that always happens and it is up to the voters to send the message. It was good to see that the winner was a photo that stick to the challenge and also was excellent in many other aspects.
It is a shame to see ratings of .5 and 1 on excellent pictures. People should at least have the decency to leave a comment on such kind of vote (or trolling).
And for the trollers; why don't you have some decent photos on the challenge or on your galleries? Why don't you show us how may challenges you have won? Let your camera do the talking next time -.-

Plenty 'portraits', not a lot of 'eyes'.

Cheers.

Why did some people enter photos of children? The title was "The beautiful eyes of a WOMAN". It's not rocket science.

1st place is a excelent photo. The composition of the photo fits in with the tittle of the challenge. Also the the detail and the sharpness of the eyes are amazing.

I'd have thought it was pretty damn obvious to most normal people that the title suggests it should be an adult female human being who has attention-grabbing or above-average looks as measured by the average man-in-the-street.

'Beauty in the eye of the beholder' is codswallop.

Any other interpretation is deliberately being obtuse and making complications out of something that should be simple.

Some people!

There you go. Define 'adult' - 18 years+? 'Attention-grabbing looks' - or rather 'eyes'? The 'average man-in-the-street' - where, India, Japan, US or NZ?
I think, I know what you mean though. Let's see...
Winner: looks like 15 years, beautiful eyes but no stunning gaze. (And: good pic but composition not really perfect.) Runner up: Aha, there we go (at least, we caucasions?). Third: a child - should've been DQ'd.
You already don't agree? Maybe that's because I'm not average... ;o)

Are you kidding me… Apparently the judges were inbreed hillbillies

Does the host have any "pruning" rights?
I'm suggesting that those photos not even remotely "The beautiful eyes of a woman" are being left in for some reason, or does the host not have the ability to delete? (or has gone away)

1 upvote

The Host is absent . . .

Maybe it's to do with the hosts 'eye sight' ? :-)

Such is a wide challenge. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 178 views of beauty, and I wish there were more. Cheers to all!

Don't worry about the age when it comes time to vote!... The Picture is either a good picture or it isn't. There are some outstanding candidates and then there are some where I'm scratching my head. But when they are at the end of the 178 pictures after the voting is done, that action will take care of everything.

Yeah, we should also allow male eyes as long as it's a good picture . . . or the eyes of an animal, as long as it's a good picture . . . and what about needle eyes ? as long as it's a good picture . . .

It looks like a lot of people don't understand the meaning of the word "beautiful" or just chose to ignore it.

4 upvotes

Is Woman meaning Woman? or is it female,and there for alright to have younger females as it seams is the case.

9 upvotes

I figured it mean adult female. Of course everyone has their own idea of what that means. I guess it's pretty open to interpretation
