If I could make one wish, it would be that this will finish above 6. It is not a terrible thing to wish. |

Pushing up a little bit. Only one step back for every two forward today. Got some interesting comments that I am anxious to respond to, and 2 faves.

I was about to say don't give up hope, I've gone from 5.8 to over 6.1 (which I was hoping for) in the last 3 days, then some *#$$&$ just gave me a 1 and bought me down to 6.09, thats going to take a few 8s and 9s to claw back :( |

I just got hit with a 2. Mine must be only slightly less sucky. |

Then, well done Steve on what must be an excellent shot :)
Hmmm coincidence? I think not!
I wonder if it sad that we watch close enough to know what the last voter gave us after 350+ votes :} |

It's incredibly sad. Especially since it's 2am here. :`( |

I've often wanted to ask. How do you know what the last voter gave you? (Note that I refrain from asking the obvious ... 'Why?') |

How, with a spreadsheet that does the calculation. HawkeyeLoneWolf has one linked on his profile page.
Why? because it is interesting to see them and join in the griping in the scores thread. I blame credit all the 3's to you these days. |

Plus two really good ideas that would have made the image a lot better. |

OK, about halfway through the voting now, commented about 60 images - but I am beginning to see why there are so many low scores being handed out.. I went into the voting with high hopes of seeing some fantastic photography but so far I have felt incredibly underwhelmed. |

After a couple of days of the score creeping downwards, it crept back up yesterday. With hindsight, I may have made the wrong choice and overlooked some that I took recently. I'm pretty happy with the score looking at others though. The comments are a similar theme, even if some are contradictions and they have forced me to relook and have a go at reprocessing, now I have CS4 (now I need to learn it properly) :P.

I can understand where you are coming from but there are also some amazing photos? It is clear to me that some people have submitted photos that were special to them, photos that they are proud of. These don't necessarly meet the 'classic' DPC formula - Kudos to those members IMO! :)

I think this is a good analysis; I certainly didn't pick my best image but chose one which was a bit more biographical.
Having said that, I think the challenge includes the best image I have seen on DPC - one of three 3 tens I have given. I've also given 13 nines.
With as many images as this, there are bound to be a few dodgy ones and I have given 145 scores of three or under, but I'm someone who uses the whole scale. |

Oh dont get me wrong, there is some amazing work in here, I know I entered what I think was my best shot of the last 5 years, but I guess its all quite subjective really. |

I'm enjoying the favourite and the comment that came with it; though actually all of the comments have been really positive.

There are some stunning images in this challenge but there are also a few that make me think that they were entered as a bit of a joke because they are just so bad. I mean the challenge states " enter the best photo you have ever taken with a digital camera and your favorite hidden gem"
Not that my own entry is doing very well although the comments have mostly been very positive:

6.9 is a fraction. It's 6 and 9/10. |
