I am so confused ::frowns at screen:: Who faves a sucky shot?!

::pulls self together::

OK, only a few more hours to sign up here. I am definitely not going to win this one. My score is bad, but not bad enough ;-)

It could be me. I think I faved 3 or 4. If one of your two comments was from me, then I didn't think it was as sucky as everyone else did.

Nope; it was someone who either didn't comment or is a baghead. Neither of the comments I got lead me to believe anyone in their right mind would fave this shot. So ... hooray for the demented person :-)

This shot >>>>>>><<<<<<< got the crap kicked out of it in the last free study and yet I got a fav. It's all about the people's taste I guess.

MAX!

Ok, my score has moved up a bit (still PW by 0.5) but I still think this competition is mine! Are there any silent challengers out there? :-)

You may have this one locked up! I think this will be my ::calculates in head:: 6th worst score ever. Not bad enough to be impressively bad or a New Personal Worst.

But I have faith in my scoring inconsistency, so I can still aspire to greater badness in future ;-)

This is my worst entry so far. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Am I not supposed to go up on the graph and not down? hmm, someone must have switched the learning curve upside down or something.

I just checked my score, I have to switch them on in my prefs, and it went up to my second worst entry. I say lets keep the voting for this challenge (Upside Down) open for another 4 weeks. ;]

Hmm. I think that low score doesn't mean bad photo. Great on DPC and Great Photograph, while not mutually exclusive, aren't mutually inclusive either ;)

But for someone whose worst score is a 5.1566, that is not bad. Looks like lots of people have you beat for the worst score. :-)

What a week it's been ;-)

If I don't stay up till rollover I'll check this first thing in the am to see who will be the lucky recipient of all our comments. That's the penance all of us not-quite-bad-enough people have to do for losing this side challenge. Really, what more could one want than comments from all the other people who couldn't figure out how to get a good score this week? We'll be so happy the challenge is over we'll be bound to be cheery commenters! ::giggles::
 10/21/2008 08:38:29 PM · #37
I'm looking forward to the comments if I continue to retain my apparent lead ;-)

But even more I'm looking forward to putting this one behind me. At least I pick an interesting week to have a PW!

I think this might all come down to what happens at the scrub at rollover.

My previous PW was 4.3727 and I'm currently sitting on 3.9294 (was in the mid 3.8s yesterday)... so what's that 0.4433 difference. I might be in with a shot at this, especially if voters have been as generous with the score for others in this side challenge.

Damn... the scrub gave me a bit of a boost. Ended on 4.0000... so that's a 0.3727 drop in my PW. Anyone beat that?

Nope, the scrub knocked me up to 0.05 over my pw

I've got you by a bit new PW by .4654 if my math is right :-)

Old personal worst: 4.5
New personal worst: 4.2738
 10/22/2008 08:10:21 AM · #43
Looks like I failed. My score ended up being my 2nd worst by 0.0195
 10/22/2008 08:53:18 AM · #44
Drum roll, please!

Only 4 of us managed to achieve New Personal Worsts: DJWoodward, vlado, Doyle, jettyimages. The rest of us DNMC!!

And our grand-grand winner is (as he predicted) DJWoodward! Congratulations and felicitations :-)

Go forth and comment!

Well done MaryO for turning such low scores into something fun :)
 10/22/2008 10:38:47 AM · #46
Thanks Mary!

I humbly accept this prestigious award but I hope to never win it again :-)

ETA: I appreciate the comments everybody. I guess I should have never rotated it. It probably would have done better.
