Too bad the challenge isn't "So great it's good"

Hey, I appreciate the sentiment and I'm sure everyone else does too, but the vote scrubber is sort of a Scrooge, it doesn't understand concepts like the milk of human kindness expressed as a mass act of compassionate voting :-)

If this is true, I'm pretty sure the vote scrubber is gonna delete all those votes :-(

So bad it's good

So bad: use dpc brain to evaluate technique
It's good: use gut to evaluate impact/evocativeness/effectiveness

LOL - My entry started with average score of 7.2+ and I thought it is really bad but then it start going down and now at 6 and looking at this I would say 5.5 is what I will have in my bucket for this challenge :D

My internal voice says that about many photos in other challenges. ;-)

Not likely the issue here. This challenge and others like it are ambiguous, confusing and frustrating. But they can't all be winners and so we move on. :)

I'll take a look after the challenge and give you some feedback, assuming I am not already one who said it was too good. :)

I thought my entry was atrocious but I have gotten comments that claim it's too good and my score keeps going down
because my entry does 'not meet the challenge.' When this is over, will anyone who sees this, please tell me how this photograph can possibly be 'good'!

Lol! Your scoring skills are so bad they're good!

At least I know why my score briefly lifted into the realms of decency only to decline with each new vote.

Seriously though, it is hard to vote this challenge. Some photos just look good to me and some just look bad. There are some though, that seem to meet the challenge.

If everyone who votes on this challenge gives everyone a 10 than everyone will get the Blue Ribbon!
