Well, I'm back exactly where I was 25 votes ago right after the -1 bomb.

Maybe the "aberrant" voting was the high votes that had me nearly 0.1 higher...gotta remember that's just as much a possibility...

I would start a rant but I am not gonna...
BUT....
1) Not every image has to be over sharpened and reprocessed with 2 runs of NI to be a valid image

2) back in the day before the advent of 6GB storage cards,12.4 MP cameras and $29000 Blads noise was part of photography... as a matter of fact real photographers would choose a film for its grain pattern ..

grrrrrr sometime I wish for my F3 and a 24 roll of pan-x

That being said... my image is doing exactly as expected :)

My last 10 entries have averaged 72 comments each. I only have 10 in the Free Study, though. :-(

I think the problem with my image is that I did not do very much post-processing. Don't use the NI.. all I did was slight crop, color adjustment and USM. That will teach me!! LOL

Just counted: 81 comments total for all challenges entered. :(

But!!!! 10 for the free study!!! When asked I can now honestly reply "Yeah, I'm on par with scalvert"

Happy Place time.

That's just about all I did with mine Kat. Nancy told me to "Just say 'No'" to neat image!!

Maybe it's time for a little red wine to ease the Angry-Voter pain.

NI has its place but not for every bloody image that is shot...

Ah yes... A Talus Lodi Cab 1999 is a very nice selection for the evening

I have already sold mine 5 times and its been on TV. Its getting below 6. Well the one sold is a variation. Voters dont seem to matter much when your at the bank cashing checks.

I meant "Angry-Voter" as the voters are angry people who like to give ones to images that clearly deserve a 9 or 10 -such as our entries clearly deserve-, you don't seem the angry type ... at least you've not exhibited angry behaviour. :)

Good wine choice btw. :)

Thank you Al .. it's one of my favorites. I'm definately not the angry type. I like to be positive all the time. My glass is always 1/4 FULL :)

Well, my score steadily went up during the day. Now it's steadily going down. What is it, voters upset because they are home on a Friday night?

I must add, I have 7 comments. One of them, a nice review, from one of the top photographers on the site. That means more to me than the score.

I was figuring around 5.9 - 6.1. I guess I was off the mark.

I too went up steadly all day. The last few hours has been up and down. I'll get and 7 or 8 then a 5...then a 6 then a 7 then a 5 etc....

I hope to finish above 6. Maybe 6.1 - 6.3. I feel I have a better than "middle of the road" shot.
