My submission for a challenge is slowly dwindling down. I am new to this so I don't know what to make of it. I am not saying its a great image, but the real question is, when do you know approx. what your going to get. Do the scores fluctuate greatly? Do a lot of more votes come in at the very end? I don't know, I just got into this site and I just started taking pictures like a week ago. I am learning as I go. I have some other ones to add later.

FYI- You may want to take the name out, bad form to talk about individual photos during voting.

No harm, no foul.

After around 100 votes you're going to be in the range of your final score, give or take. But of course there exceptions to that. For the complementary colors challenge I went on the roller coaster ride from hell, score up, score down, score up, score ... you get the idea.

The gut-wrenching "What are voters smoking?" question is part of the fun!

Good luck on the challenge.

i rollarcoaster with a lot of my images. My score often doesn't settle until about 300 votes.
Thre are other times when i hit the submit to challenge button and can tell you what i will end up with.
So really the answer is, who knows?

Keep in mind though that many here sort thier photos into 4 and 6's or such and then rearrange thier votes after all are sorted. So where you might have had a 6 average from the voters, they may be putting you in thier finial position of a 5 (given that your score is dropping).
