Well done on a great score. And no 1,2 or 3 votes.

Jason, came across your thread about this shot. Some thoughts.

You say it does not have a colour cast on your calibrated monitor. OK that's fine and dandy, but based on the comments you have received, to many of the voters it does. Perception is reality, if most people looking at this shot think that it does, then it does and so you have received scores that reflect that. You don't have to agree with people, but accept that this is what others are seeing and understand it maybe why you received lower votes.

I also have a calibrated monitor and to me this looks underexposed (and my monitor tends to be quite bright) and distinctly unnatural in colour. Look at the histogram and you will see it is underexposed.

Add to the equation that not everyone likes pet shots or borders etc etc and you should have a better idea of why the score distribution is the way it is. As Ecce Signum said I would question more why there were so many higher scores than lower ones. I think it finished just a bit higher than I would have expected it to.

At the end of the day, if you really love this and it means a lot to you, does it matter what the rest of us think? Because it really shouldn't. Print it, frame it and hang it on the wall and forget about the rest.

I recognised this one as yours, although that did not prevent me from giving it a score I felt it deserved (9). I am so very sorry it did not score higher.

So sorry this did not score higher. Well done on the posthumous ribbon, hope it compensates in some way.

Deb, so happy this scored so high. Should have been the blue ribbon as it truly sums up in a frame what DPC is all about. Fun and friends.

Can you spare some change?

Well, I only gave 4 10s in this challenge and this was one of them. I thought this would be a ribbon winner for sure.

Like many others, I am at a loss to know how this didn't ribbon.
