what did you end up eating tonight?
was thinking about that chicken recipe when i was on my bike so looked it up, i wasn't far wrong, and actually think that i might try it with the chili poweder instead of the dried ginger

I had chicken marinated in lemon and garlic and olive oil,
in a tomatoey sauce with fried mushrooms and onions in it On rice With a leaf salad with olive oil, balsamic vinager and lime juice and zest dressing It was tastey

i don't dislike the compo, i just would have liked something else. there are too many object/noun compos - why not concept ones, or verb/action compos or total freakshow ones, where we have to actually DO something rather than gis a word or two and drunkenly lurch around photoshop for fifteen minutes?

the problem isn't your suggestion so mush as it is the lack of imagination of people posting. this either means that we should be harsh to the failpics or we should encourage goodpics (or do both).

yep. Nothing to do with you at all.
I just find it sad that every week the image challenge is a mixture of old stuff ( most of it crap and from lurkers ) reposted in a new thread, or quick and shit because they are desperate to get something on there. Or completely and utterly not fitting the brief whatsoever because 99% of people can't read a challenge without fixating on one word.
As I said earlier something, something, something, something, something, HORSES something, something, COMPO IT.

I voted No
Its an interesting idea for a compo but the trouble is because its so vague people just photoshop or a horse (or more likely pearoast a horse picture) and expect thunderous applause.
Like most things its not a bad idea for a compo its just people are so lazy and desperate to be noticed they will use any tenuous link for an excuse to post a pic.

as with most things, the end user is to blame.
oh, and i did have another image challenge suggestion once:
not a challenge suggestion, rather a modification in the manner in which challenges are implemented.
challenges stay open for six days instead of seven. they get announced as usual, but no entries may be posted until 24 hours have elapsed. that way people are encouraged (not forced, mind) to think a little, and perhaps make a picture and then reject it as crap before they post it.
again, search doesn't want me to link to it.

But they do try. And some of the people there are extremely talented. I just put it down to a complete lack of consideration for others and too much value placed on their 'work' here at b3ta.

The problem is that there are no rules on b3ta
it's the only rule. However after a brief conversation with Rob this afternoon to clarify this he re-iterated his position that images should not be posted again as the start of a new thread ( I took this to mean all images and not just challenge entries ).

well, there is a blur between guidelines and rules, here and in life.
anyway, this conversation is now long enough that we're in danger of taking serious a photoshop compo on a website that we loll about on in our spare time - that too violates the spirit of b3ta, so i'll abandon this until a get another wild hair.
