 what happened to all the comments??? It seems that I only get comments in challenges when somebody comes out and says "I've commented on 100% of the photos in this challenge..."  then suddenly, everybody feels like they have to do it too....

 Back up for the moment, but voting on this challenge has been volitile, Up and down like a yo-yo, so I figure it should start getting hammered soon.

		| | Despite being my favorite submission, mine isn't doing so hot (4.1-ish).  I guess what I saw in the picture when I sumitted the shot was just a theme that carried in my own head; not something blatently obvious to the rest of the population.  Can't expect 'em to read my mind when they look at the picture, I suppose.  I'm still a newbie.  I'll learn. |

		| | I took a break from DPC, gotta resist the addiction :) Or, rather, I've been far too busy to be able to concentrate on photography, but it's paid of very well:

 I was/am expecting a DQ request, but it hasn't happened yet. Reasonable number of comments, so I'd guess I'm in the mid-low 6's.

		| | Well, I expected 6 ish, my comments are good with reference to a blown out spot which frustrates me, if only I could adjust  but I couldn't eliminate it with burning as it's a basic challenge.....I guess some people will mark it down because of it without thinking of the rules.

 Well, this is my second challenge. I finished witha 4.8 average in the pain contest. I was hoping to break 5 with this one. I still have lots to learn, it will eventually come.

		| | In this challenge, I entered a picture that I knew was so far "outside the box" that most people wouldn't get how it related to the topic.  Thus, I was prepared for a humble score: 
 Avg Vote: 4.1417
 
 Actually, I'm kind of surprised it's that high.

 What a great attitude, no defensiveness at all, just determination.  I'm sure you will.

		| | I wasn't going to say anything 'cause I didn't want to jinx the 7+ score my photo has had all day, but now it's dropping back down so I guess it doesn't matter. :) 
 I'm really surprised that it was doing so well. I wasn't even going to enter because I didn't think anyone would like it, but I wanted an excuse to click the update button. I must be a glutton for punishment.
 
 It's currently at 6.9671 with a bunch of nice comments.

 Well, if that score holds up, you will probably end up with a Blue Ribbon.

 Congrats Micheal !
 Won't jinx you with that R word, but hope you nail your first one here.
 
 (Might be neighbors on this one too)

		| | I had ten minutes and decided my photo was not going to do well in the contest....and decided to yank it. 
 Then my computer started acting up (again) and I was unable to access the site.
 
 Score is pretty bad.   :(
 
 But its a fabulous contest.....great entries !

 About what I expected to get cause I couldn't get the photo I wanted.
 
 Oh well, maybe I'll do better next time.
