Congrats on the brown! Sorry, I only gave you a 3, because I could still recognize what it was.

The 10 was me....lol, I knew this was someone going for the brown and I am disappointed that no one else voted with me.

Thanks charliebaker, that was what I was going for and I can't believe that this many people got pissed about it.

For all the people who think I wasted everyone's time with this entry, get over it.

Now for my comments

- I have never received more than 22 comments on an entry until now and it was a crappy one. I know that during voting, people are reminded to comment on all votes lower than a 3 but come on people, I never got this kind of comments when I entered my first challenge and I was actually trying my best there.

- The 10 is definitively an anti-troll vote because I have no friends. I am just surprised that I did not get any 9's, 8's or 7's.

- How were there 10 people who thought this was a 5? A 5 suggests that this photo was average. NEWS FLASH, IT GOT LAST PLACE. It was not average it was terrible.

- More 4's than 2's? Ok I can see some people feeling guilty about voting below the 3 mark and not leaving a comment but come on folks, try to actually vote each entry for what it deserves. A 4 really means that an entry is a bit below average.

Anyhow. Next time you see an absolutely horrible entry, vote it appropriately. In my opinion, any entry less than 50% of the max entry size is generally a 4 or lower. Any entry this blurry, unless done for effect, is a 3 or lower. And any entry with this much wrong and even the title spelled wrong, deserves a 1 no matter who took it.

Comment by charliebaker:
Great job on the brown! Small blurry photos will sink quickly. Titles that have missspelled words (knifes versus knives) add to the counter-weight. Since the SC added the "comment on all photos voted 3 or lower please" instruction box, people tend to vote higher, issuing fewer 1's. To score 1.8 on any challenge anymore would be amazing. You'd push yourself deeper into the basement if you had taken a photo of cleaning supplies rather than kitchen anything. DNMC always pushes people to knock off a point.

By the way, ignore the whiners who say you've wasted people's time on 37 comments (now 42). People comment on what they want to comment on, and really crappy brown entries tend to draw comments. We are drawn to what is superb and what is really bad.

I find brown entries very funny, and enjoy looking at them. Quirky sense of humor I suppose. Your entry cracks me up. Congrats on a well deserved brown.

Comment by Ubersteiny:
Why wouldyou "go for the brown"? you just took 30ish useful comments away from other users that have photos who actually needed the critique.

and also not to be rude, but how was that 10 counted? obviously it was a joke vote
