an excellent comment, i think - much better than, "good one"

Did I miss something? Was there some hidden rule in the flower competition that the flowers needed to be taken in studio lighting and/or some postprocessing digital art must be used to change the background to all black?
People are certainly entitled to their opinion. However, it bothers me some to have extra parameters or rules applied when voting, about which I was unaware. |

I think every photo should attempt for drama in the lighting and presentation - nothing to do with studio lights or PP art. This, imo, is a very good comment.
I would take it for what it is, a positive attempt at helping.

OW, that's a biggggg drop. At least mine didn't go down that much. Mind you, if they had I'd be in brown-ribbon territory for sure! |

Mine did the big drop, as well. Was at 6.8x this morning. Now 6.2x and drops each time I check. So I turned off the scores. |

I didn't think mine would go down too well.... but didn't think this badly. Maybe I should have submitted the "nicer" macro shot I had instead and maybe got a 5.5..... I wanted to enter something a bit "different". Wish more comments had been left. Why don't people like it? Lowest score yet for me :(

At least I am going back up. Hmm
I have already been told flat out that my picture was not liked... twice! sorry
I wish more people would tell me why it's so bad... instead of dropping a horrible score and leaving.
I shouldn't have entered this one. I came in thinking I had an awesome photo, and I was proved very very wrong. *shrugs* Being different isn't doing so well.
Meh

I was up to 5.94, now it's dropped to 5.80. It seems we have the tough voters this afternoon, since it looks like others are experiencing drops as well.
I just have the same "good job" baghead comment that everyone else got, don't feel bad. Commenting always suffers when there are a lot of entries. We have almost 700 images between Flowers and SftC, so people are a bit overwhelmed with the voting.

I submitted a shot, forgot about it with all the hospital trips the last week and was surprised to see it there this morning. So...woke up to a 6.45 after like 30 or so votes and after todays voting at 5.66 after 80 some odd votes...oh well.
Correction: Now at 5.65 after 85 votes...damn! At least it has 3 comments I like.

Shoot, I had you as one of the top guys in the challenge and now you are disappointing me. With the strong field of women photographers here I thought it would be neat if the guys took most of the top ten slots. :P
