LOL - the subject and your score are alike? Nice exposure and texture in this image - 5.7

Mom thinks 10; I think 6.38; DPC: 5.74

Interesting composition, but it just isn't appealing to me. I like the lighting and textures on the wall and table, but the orange peel is off-putting. I'm guessing the voters won't get it either. 5.1

Wow, perspective is great on this image with the people. Most don't realize how mammoth the offshore rock formations can be... 6.2

I anticipate that some of the blown out areas of the swan will bring your score down - 4.8

Ambush - 4.2

Love the color, and the texture - this one takes some effort to see the value and I don't think it will score high. 4.9

"Ah, this is so rich. What a perfect example of why the scores on DPC are truly meaningless. This brother of this image won an international photography contest, competing against 11,500 entries from 79 countries. On DPC it didn't even make it to a 6.0."

Truly a shame that this photo didn't score higher and place in the upper half of the challenge. I struggle with the score issue on here, and I have to keep reminding myself that the value of DPC isn't the scores or ribbons, but what is gained by entering challenges and expanding my photography skills. While I'm sorry your photo didn't do better, it does help me to see someone as talented as you are struggle with the score stuff too.
