dp+ Pick - top 9 ranking - photo challenge 7 - some kind of bride

For our theme "Some Kind of Bride", 11 entries made it to the dp+ Pick.  It means only 11 entries made it to the judges' top 3 choices. If all 5 judges would each have their own different set of top 3 picks, there would be 15 entries included here instead of 10. It means that one or more judges chose the same entries in their top 3 picks.

Instead of 11 rankings, however, there will only be Top 9 Ranks. 3 entries tied at Top 6 slot all scoring 90/500 each. They are Steven Ee Kin Cheung, Lara Juan and Jennifer Hamilton. 2 entries got a 5 points deduction each for having watermarks on their entries. They are Joey Yepez from 100/500 to 95/500 and Srimon Buro, from 96/500 to 91/500.


2 entries vied for the Top Pick position. Both got picked by 3 judges on their top 3 picks. They are entries by Fidel Fernandez and Kamilovich Karpov. Fidel Fernandez was picked 2 times as Top choice and 1 2nd Pick. Kamilovich Karpov, on the other hand, got all Top Pick choices from the 3 judges who added his entry to their picks. Total score for Fidel Fernandez is 281/500 while Kamilovich Karpov got 293/500.

There were 5 judges as before, 1 is part of the dp+ administration and 4 are select members of the group. Each judge picked their top 3 choices from all the entries and scored them based on 4 criteria which include Quality or the technical aspect of the photo (30%), Creativity and Originality (30%), Theme Adaptation (20%) and Overall Impact or Impression (20%). Each also gave their reasons for their picks. A total of 100% per judge is the perfect score in all categories per entry. Final perfect score is 500 points with 100 point percentage from each of the 5 judges. The one who gets the highest score wins. 

So here are the 9 entries who made it to the dp+ Pick top 9 ranks and their rankings in reverse order from top 9 to top 1:

Top 9: Entry 9 - Rhoda Corpuz - “Still Attentive" - Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd - 70/500
