Possibly on the hour for registered users. Consider a membership, if you don't already have one. Then, you too can become a DPC addict.

I'm going to pay for my membership later this evening and vote on all the photos as I'm at work at the moment. |

You have rated 75 of 75 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 15 images (20%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.6533.
Hidden in my average score is a broad range distribution. I gave 2-10s, 2-9s, 6-8s and 10-7s. There were some remarkably good nighttime shots in this challenge. Of note, I commented on 20% of the images, which is a big % comments for me. |

| Poses the question, what defines a landscape? Makes you think. |

| I would define it as scenery from a distance... the land as far as the eye can see |

Now, there are many interpretations when it comes to art... but this is what I found when I looked it up:
land·scape
noun
1. a section or expanse of rural scenery, usually extensive, that can be seen from a single viewpoint.
2. a picture representing natural inland or coastal scenery.
3. Fine Arts . the category of aesthetic subject matter in which natural scenery is represented.
4. Obsolete . a panoramic view of scenery; vista.
I don't want this to skew results, but it is interesting how the genre inspires us all differently. |

I have not voted yet. There are very good shots, but my opinion is that:
night is night = stars, moon, dark sky,...
landscape should include nature = trees, sea, mountains,...
Now I have to decide wheter my vote is based on the previous facts, or if I just consider how much I like the photos
I will leave it for tomorrow... now I'm really falling sleep... ;) |

| You have to bear in mind not everyone has the luxury of a rural landscape at their disposal! |

True, but one don't have to enter every contest. Maybe that type of thinking is too cynical?
For the record, I didn't vote any of the good 'non-landscape' images down much due to them not being what I deem to be a landscape. |

Even Manhattan has Central Park, what kind of City would not have any parks with some nature in them? ;)
PS I don't do DNMCs so my voting wasn't effected by definitions.

Yes, you are right. Such a pity, it is a nice park. |

| FWIW I don't have any issues with 'urban' landscapes (or cityscapes if you prefer) as an interpretation. I was also kind of surprised at how many sunsets were submitted though. |

I live right in the heart of a big city, so I walked to the botanical gardens and took a photo there. Not awe inspiring, but you work with what you have to meet the challenge theme. I resisted the urge to shoot a nice cityscape, because to me it's not a "landscape". Sometimes I don't vote in challenges I've entered, but I did this time, and I took into account the theme (landscape at night) and weighed this alongside how much I liked the photo. A photo I really liked of trees at night scored higher than a photo I really liked of a cityscape at sunset. I think that's fair voting. Other people might choose to be moved solely on how appealing they find the image; personally, that's putting the challenge topic too far into the back seat for me. (That's not to say I don't like unique interpretations to a theme; in fact, I tend to favour them, it shows imagination.)
Sure, in this challenge us city folk are at a disadvantage versus someone overlooking a soaring majestic forest... but that happens all the time. (When was the last time Larus/LalliSig lost a "sky" challenge that he entered? :) If the theme is "majestic churches" then anyone living in Italy is at a huge advantage. That's just how it goes! |
