 It's still going down but very slowly. Long way to go... still hoping this might start to go back up some. I have received some really nice comments.  I have a feeling this one will have a wide voting curve with scores from 1 thru 10. Hopefully more will be in the above 5 range.

 The votes go up but the score stays the same. I can't wait to see the way the voting on mine went. You may expect to see a thread regarding it after Tuesday. |

		It started out close to 7 for the first 2 days, big slope down to 6.3 since then.
 Bummer. |

 Moving back up. Really good comments and not just in a "great job" kind of way. Received a couple of long and detailed critiques explaining their lower vote. Much appreciated. |

		I'm so close to my goal. (6.0) At least it will be a PB and I have received some helpful comments.

		I don't know where my score is as they are not on but I'm a bit frustrated in that based on comments, I'm being shot down by new photographers who have no concept of alternate styles of photography such as high key, low key etc. I can't say more.  If the image does not "fit" where all is "normal" then I can only assume based on comments that they are voting me down.  I am happy that some are more well rounded though.
 
 BTW, I'm basing my assumptions based on the profiles of the commenter's
 
 In any event, it's a shot that both I and the subjects like very much. |

 LOVING the comments.  most are "this is not environmental" :P  although, i think it's clearly environmental if you took long enough to stop and think about it.  i guess i might have a completely different definition of what an environmental portrait is.  oh well, i'm not complaining, i'm always happy w/ a 6+ score.  they're hard to come by these days :P

 No.  Actually, I had the wrong environment in mind in that previous post.  The score that I posted earlier was my Harsh Environment entry so I'm not even close to you in this challenge.  My simple mind is having a tough time keeping the two challenge titles with the word 'environment' in them straight. |

 Hah! Must admit that was pretty funny. 
 
 Quiet thread overall though. I know mine cant be near the top rung as the ones I thought nailed the challenge really nailed it. But I am creeping back up a bit.

 Yeah, I saw a couple of claims of 7+ scores earlier in the thread.  I didn't expect mine to do extremely well anyway.  It's a different kind of environmental portrait and is probably scoring a little lower (although nobody has said that's a reason yet).  In a different challenge it would surely score higher but I'm not disappointed since I expected it.

 It's a shame that you think that just new photographers would be the only ones to shoot you down. |
