 I actually thought this would do better than the last.  Apparently I am wrong!

		| | Everyone must have been mesmerized by the Free Study challenge. My score has been dropping since that voting booth opened ;) Was a steady 6.3 which is now trying not to dip below a 6.

		| | I'm so disappointed. I thought my photo was very original. I guess people didn't like the lighting -- or lack of. I wanted the environment to hold its own without artificial lights or PS effects. :(

 At least the score has gone up from the first day, where it only had a 4.0

		| | Gosh I am around 5.8  I was hoping for more  cos this was the most thought I put into any challenge.  Does seem like it is a low scoring challenge though. |

		| | this is my first entrance into a challenge and i dont quite know what to think about the 4.8 i currently have.  i thought mine would do better, but this is the case with probably every entry so that doesn't mean much.

		| | I don't think people are understanding my idea or seeing it the way I do.  Obviously lol.  Now i'm sitting at a 4.3.   Ah well, I got other things to worry about lol.  I'm not entering any challenges for a while because I have too much going on. |

		| | I have to admit, I'm a bit disappointed with my 4.3, but I'm sure it could be worse....lol.  This is my first entry to one of the challenges, but I usually watch and vote, and knew I was up against some incredible photographers.  I just wish I had been able to figure out a way to keep the picture at a larger size and still have it under the 150k file size limit.  :-( |

		| | Pretty low scoring challenge it seems. Folks let's not forget what the challenge description says. 
 Details: Stamps, coins, dolls, cars, shoes... people will collect just about anything. Let's see what makes your particular collection special.

 Well I played around with my picture and decided I could have done it much better.  My focus was off a little, it needed sharpness and I was able to fix it after some adjustments.  Last min photos are my downfall.  Acept in the free study, it worked for me that time.

		| | I am still happy to be above a five,  though I keep dropping little by little.  I am, however, disappointed in a rather blunt and somewhat condescending comment I woke up to this morning.  Not the best pace to set for the day.  As far as I am concerned comments should be given as constructive criticism or compliments, but not as a mockery to someone's ability.  Afterall, this is my first challenge, and I've only been working with this camera for a couple of months. 
 Sorry everyone...guess I just needed to vent...

		| | I'm still above 5 too, but it's also dropping... I hope I'll stay above, but I'm not sure. I didn't know what to do with this photo (enter or not), I guess I better not enter it next time when I have doubts. 
 @ Brielle, I know what you mean... with this challenge I have a very dull comment about the title. I mean, come on! what's this site about?!

		| | Take it with a grain of salt... voters around here can be harsh, but I'd consider it very good that for a beginner you're hanging around 5. 
 My Industrial is hanging around 5.6, it's got a lot of good compliments and some good critiques, but it's also got quite a few comments that are just moronic in my opinion. Just take away from it, what you believe is helpful and forget about the others.

		| | Ive learned to ignore the rude comments, there arent many people that leave them.  Just work with the comments that work for you, the constructive ones.
