This is a funny statement coming from you - one of the merry band of literal interpretation of challenges police.
I didn't enter this challenge because I feared my potential partner image would get killed by the literal interpreters for showing a pair of the same rather than two working together for mutual benefit.
Looking at the scores now, I am sure glad I stayed out... |
Not funny at all. If you've paid any attention at all, I've only said I'm literal to the clearly literal points of the challenge AS DEFINED BY THE SITE.
This was clearly an interpretive challenge and being wise, I vote accordingly.
If a challenge says "DOG" and someone photographs a "CAT", there is no interpretation required.
But that's just common sense.

I respectfully disagree. I read with interest the forum thread on the masks challenge and the debates you had with several other members. From that thread your interpretations of the challenge descriptions appeared to be very narrow - and taking the challenge description as the absolute requirement or 'rule'. I am just suggesting that complaining that some voters are not being broad enough with there interpretations of this challenge descriptions is an interesting comment.

And you were corrected that it's not "interesting" at all, just consistent.
This was an interpretive subjective challenge.
Masks was clearly an objective, defined challenge.
If you refuse to see the difference, then there is nothing more that can be said.

I appear to have either escaped the literalists or my interpretation of partners is more obvious than I thought, because for once I entered something I wasn't sure would pass DNMC muster.
Of course, it's early in day 1, when scores tend to plummet.

I would be shocked if anyone tried to consider this "literally".
Congrats on a great score.

Chill guys.
Everyone reads the challenge description and everyone comes away with different points of view on how the challenge should be met.
It would be a big ole boring place if we all read it the same way, cos we would all have the same photographs.

I'm shocked the votes are so low this round (not the values, the quantity), seems we usually have more by this point. Or is it just me?

Yeah, seems low to me. Maybe Night Sky is getting all the attention - some really cool stuff over there. |

But that takes like 5 minutes to burn through all those ;) Maybe some of the voters are looking at the space shots and trying to find their homeplanets. :)

Anyone had this before? Checking the profiles of the three guys who left a comment so far, I noticed they'd all registered on the same day, all left a pretty similar, decent comment, all within 15 minutes. I found it somewhat strange...
My score went from 20 voters at 4,8 to 40 voters at 5,6. I like the trend! |

About what I figured, since I'm sure I'm getting dinged by some interpretations of "partners" -- hope it keeps creaping up... Yay, blessed comments! Hope those keep creaping up, too. :P
At the risk of stating the obvious, I think a lot of voters are fixating on "two people" being the only acceptable form of "partners." I don't agree with that -- I'm just saying I bet that's what is going on.

That's odd, because I saw so few...
Since it's interpretive, I simply asked -- "Do the people, animals, items, creatures, whatever in this photo have a mutually beneficial relationship?"
In almost all the cases, even if a few were razor thin, the answer was yes. So then I rated the photo on quality.
Sorry you didn't see the relationship between the subjects in many. You may have been the source of my recent 1. :) :) :)
