Hmmm....I've had 265 votes and 13 comments! My record comments for a challenge so far (this is only my 3rd) is 14 and this is my highest score to date!

I just had a look through it and it really seems there wasn't much effort put into most images in this challenge. And i've never seen so many off topic photos in one challenge either. I'm pretty disappointed overall.

Is this Challenge scores are lower than normal?

or the winner will get 7+ anyway?

maybe its the interpretation of the challenge,the voting on a particular image is judged by the individual against the context in which they looked on the challenge theme in the first place.

A good take on the current challenge Affluence.

I've noticed the same thing. I don't know why 1's or 2's are given on some of those great shots. I think it is just sour grapes. There could be a few folks that just give 1's and 2's and that is all they give.

Take a look at someof the recent top three shots and see what I mean.

As ladymonarda says, must be some sour people. I think my entry fits in the challenge, but I'm sure it's getting several 1 and 2's, and I don't know why.

Maybe they can put some kind of lock when you vote, so if you want to give a 1 or 2 score, the comment must be obligatory.

BTW My photo has a score of 5.08, i just hope doesn't goes below 5.

Well, to be honest, I'm not really suggesting the ones I'm commenting about are "crap", they just don't seem to fit the challenge.

Maybe this is just a hard challenge for people. I know I didn't enter it because I couldn't find something that struck me as fitting.

Or are there in inordinate number of challenge entries that have nothing to do with the challenge subject?

I've run into 5 during voting tonight that I'm just not getting. Maybe I'm slow??

Well, I did think of 2 things with my current score....either people don't understand it or they just don't have a sense of humour! But, then I thought, maybe my photo is just crap! :p

Maybe the latter me thinks!

I keep trying to take a break, but I keep shooting for these challenges. I must be in need of a nice quiet year at the home for the insane. As to scoring, the scores I give out average out nearly two points higher than the scores I receive. I think we should all just turn off the scoring average until the challenge is ended.

This is one of my lowest scores ever in over the 100 + challenges entetered if its stays this way, I am really disappointed with scores in general lately, not just my scores but everyones, I know this type of comment is getting old, but what a shame that so many great shots barely get a 6 when they hit the top ranks. Opinions differ in what people like, but I feel there are a lot of bitter people that score low just for spite or to make there shot place higher. Maybe time to take a break from challenges and just keep shooting what I want. --- ugh --

I believe the votes have already stabilized. So our scores shouldn't changed more than a few hundredths. Amazing how fast this challenege stabilized.
