I just want to Vent. Maybe I should just get over the fact that my picture did so badly. But I love it and everyone I have shown it to out side of DP Loves it to and I don̢۪t understand why It had to get 3.9664 Ok yes it did have a few problems, like the dust. But really. I was going for washed out, that̢۪s my favorite part about the picture. 
Scream! Scream! Vent! Vent!
Ok I'm done.
If anyone else wants to Vent about their challenge results feel free to do so. I know its liberating.

| As long as you like it, the score shouldn't matter. But also be willing to accept that some will like it, some won't, no matter how much you, personally, love it. :) |

Emily, you like it, and from what you say you do have fans out there. So don't worry too much. I'm in the same boat with my personification score.
The important part is that you like it, and that it reflects your creativity and your taste.

If the picture came out the way that you planned it, then be happy. You will find that what you like and what scores well are not the same thing.
selling out
I would like to vent too but can't until voting is over on the 11th for Personification.
Look at the bright side- it's the 7th highest rated photo with your camera.
Peace E.L.

I don't think the issue should be the score. a genral rule of thumb around here for all of us is if you are emotionaly attached to an image don't submit it.
we all have one that we love that didn't scroe so well, and we don't understand why. I think overall the "washed out" look doen't look intentional enough for voters to vote high on it. not saying you didn't do it intentional it just doesn't look like you did.
keep shooting though, one bad challenge doesn't mean the end of your dpc world

People will score down for the "blown highlights". People will score down because it's a cat in a free study and people tend to expect something "more" for those. What scores well around here isn't always what we like most as individuals. So ask yourself - are you in it for the score, or would you rather shoot what you like and how you like?

| Ya, and dust spots will kill a score as well. If a picture in anyway looks "snapshotish" on this site they will vote you as if you owe them money. |

No - I think this looks like in the traditional sense of using film that it is fogged. It just looks muddy gray and does not make the picture better in my opinion. |

I think I would have upped the contrast a bit, cloned out the dust cropped a bit tighter and went for a little more of an "artsy" look. To me the problem this shot faces is the shadows and the extremes caused by the light. That is tough to overcome. |

Your score is not a reflection of your work.
Your score is a reflection of the quality of the image you present.
I agree with the score.
Left critique.
