I didn't enter this challenge but loved looking at all the creative takes and I learned a fair bit in the process. There are some great shots in this one.

I agree. These kind of challenges really bring out the creativity in this group! I'm thinking that the same will be true in the 'Famous Last Words' challenge. I really look forward to seeing the results of that one. :)

I'm making an effort to give comment on each photo I rate (but I think I'm a tough critic sometimes, I pay a lot of attention to details). I think this will only help the photographer to understand how other people see his or her photo. I know I would like to have the comments, even if they're bad. it's a learning process, so even bad comments can contribute to your learning process.

Still trying to comment on all that I found lacked something...

You have rated 75 of 101 images (74%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 31 images (31%) in this challenge.

Hope no one was offended by any of my comments... would never be my intention!

So there I was with a 6.18 and wondering if I'd get any 1's or 2's on this one.

Vote #176 = 2
Vote #177 = 1

I now wonder if I'll get any 9's or 10's - seemed to work the other way ;)

Keep going, I haven't got a comment from you yet :)

No, seriously, good work. I try to comment 100% every so often.

My shot has dropped almost 0.2 in the past 24 hours. I hope it bounces back up a bit.

I've been slowly, but surely commenting on all of this challenge. I have a hard time with comments, because I take too much time, and get too wordy. Right now I'm...
Stats: You have rated 101 of 102 images (99%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 62 images (61%) in this challenge.

I've gotten to all except those I rated 6. They're next.

I tend to be blunt, but I'd rather know what made the voter rate it the way they did than not know (even if I disagree), so I hope I don't offend anyone.

Congratulations to all of the fine images. This was a very difficult challenge to shoot. The details could easily get you.
