If the votes go for the highest average among commenters, I would win 2nd place along with Dr. Achoo. :-) Do I get a ribbon?? LOL! I got 8.571 avg among commenters, and it's the tie among with DrAchoo's winning entry.
I'm actually surprised at my score, I thought it would be below average, especially when people were saying how sick they were about seeing flowers. I did well, in my eyes.
The only small problem I have is many people gave me a score of 6 or below, and I want to know WHY! It's the only way I can really tell how to improve my score, my shot, my way of shooting. In my very first challenge I submitted a photo of a collection of cat whiskers (My Favorite Things). And that sucked....totally. I give myself a 2 for that. I do not have a DSLR, and I am not really good at deciding how to adjust lighting, levels, contrast in PS. That's where YOU come in...
For this challenge, I took the photograph of my flower the day it bloomed. It was a special day because I've been waiting for 3 weeks for the flower to bloom. I've tried taken various other bokeh photographs, but this stood out. I should have done more research on what exactly a Bokeh photo is. My photo obviously does not have the "rings of light", but "loosely defined", it fits.
I don't usually hang out in the forums and such, but I'm starting to. Basically, all I want to know why I have such a high score in commenters, but still get a bunch of 5s and 6s with no comments.
I'm sure it's like that for many of you...
LMK if it doesn't belong here.
