Dropped down overnight to where my shots usually hang out. It was doing really well, then got hit with a bunch of 5's shortly after my first post to this thread.

I'll eventually learn that whatever I think my shot will do, it will do about a half to full point less in voting.

Sure would be nice to climb a bit and break that 7 barrier. What happened to that happy juice? |

I think they were into the happy juice friday nite when they started voting (drunk) and then today everyone is voting all hung over and grumpy.
Oh well, I have no right to complain about this for a score, but being above 7 and close to my PB was just a tease I guess. |

This is my first DP Challenge and I have a few questions.
Here are my current results.
Votes: 49
Views: 86
Avg Vote: 5.9592
Two questions for all you seasoned veterans. (1) With about 50 votes in, should I expect my avg vote to stay about the same or is it still too early to decide? I feel like I'm keeping track of a Super Tuesday event. (2) Is 5.9592 a decent score or should I go place my camera equipment on Ebay? :)
...Okay one more question. Is it typical to have a higher number in views vice votes?
Thanks in advance. |

1 Am thinking it shouldn't change more than .3 from now (though normaly use 100 votes as my yardstick)
2 Yes, 5.9 is a decent score and especially so for you first challenge (though don't know your history)
3 Another yes, I've had as much as a 3:1 ratio but around 1.5:1 to 2:1 is normal.
Enjoy this little corner of the thing they call the world wide web and prepare to get bitter on occaision ;)

Thanks. (My camera was a Christmas present, prior to that I used mainly point and click cameras.)

Don't know how I'll finish, placement wise, as there are a lot high scored being quoted in this thread, but this is likely to be my personal best score, so I'm happy!

Got slammed with a bunch of low scores this afternoon, dropping me to a 5.48. I thought it was better than that, but we all do. I think I'm doing some good shots, but I'm not quite nailing the "Wow factor" or the "broad appeal" that is needed to score highly here.

Great shots Option, as always. I am looking forward to spring here so our herons come back. I have now located a nesting area for them as well. Love the shot you have of the one with the fish. :)
ETA: couldn't you have shown more of the environment around them, instead of just a "bird on a moon rock shot"? LMFAO (inside joke)

| Notice how there are very few comments so far? I think with so many entries everyone is just trying to get through voting on them all. Hopefully the comments (and upward score bumps) will happen later this week. |

I'm pretty happy with this so far. Even happier if it swings back up later in the week. Free Study's are pretty tough on the scoring I think, with so much competition. Even so, this photo will likely make it onto my profile page as one of my top shots. I figure that's a pretty good result.
