		| | I've found that getting a 'favourite' can do a lot to make me feel better about a low scoring image. 
 Share your lowest scoring image which has been given 'favourite' status by some kind soul.
 
 Here's mine:
 
 
   
 I look forward to seeing yours!

		| | Well, this picture of a lime in "Long Exposure" this past September came in just one shy of a brown ribbon, but got a fave from sweet  pixelpig. Actually, most of my really low-scoring images have a fave or 3 attached to them, but this is the most recent. My lowest-ever (the infamous self-portrait as raindrop) actually has 13 faves...

		| | This is my lowest scoring photo of all time: 
   
 Quite strange, the person who marked this as a favourite has only commented on one photo, this one. He has only marked one photo as a favourite, this one. He has never entered a challenge or voted.

		| | As I don't have that many faves in any case, I am always surprised when I get one.  I was very surprised to get 2 during the challenge for this middle of the road image.  This is my lowest scoring fave.

		| | My lowest scoring image with a favorite.  It was a misunderstood image, 'cept by one good person.

		| | This photo was sooooo misunderstood!! I got blasted for thinking a dog was a toy. Trust me, I am a responsible dog owner who was only playing on the fact that this was a "toy" breed dog. Funny me, I thought it was a cute play on words. I do not think dogs are toys. OK, so now that my disclaimer has been posted, here's the shot :-)

		| | Easy! It's also my lowest score. 
 
   
 When I first joined, I thought an abstract concept might be sufficient,  Naaah!

 Then again, it was Art who faved it, so I'm not sure if that counts :)
 
 eta; My 1000th challenge entry will actually be my lowest with a fave, but I can't show that one yet

		| | At a 3.65, this was a pretty low scoring entry, and got two faves. 
   No surprise that
  CharlieBaker was one of the two who faved it. I consider that a high compliment.

		| | The first three are all last-place finishers which have been marked as favorites multiple times, the last one finished three from the bottom:

		| | Yeah, Paul, I loved that atom bomb/mushroom shot!  Actually surprised to see I hadn't favorite'd it b/c it is a memorable shot.  And Karen, if 5.1 is your lowest shot in 178 challenges that's quite a feat! 
 
  This is my lowest scoring shot with a fave, though I believe it was low scoring b/c of DNMC rather than objective criteria (not that I think it's a brilliant shot or anything but not deserving of so many 1's).  I have another low score DNMC shot but after that  is my "truest" lowest score + Fave, and I gotta say I like the shot too.

		| | I've only gotten 1 fav in a challenge, and that was my highest scoring... 
 But! I have received a fav in the current 100 year old challenge--and I never dreamed that that shot would ever get a fav! I thought it was a nice, but dull, shot.

 Thanks! It is indeed my lowest score and I haven't self-DQ'ed anything for scoring low either.

 This is where I learned something.  Don't put fun but technically imperfect studio shots of toddlers in a Free Study! lol.

 I would really like to know what it is with DPCers and blown highlights. It's almost an automatic "OMG! BLOWN HIGHLIGHTS! BAD!!!"  They never, with a few exceptions, even stop to consider that it was used on purpose for impact.
 
 Alas, trying to teach them such things is fruitless too, I think. hehe.

		| | My lowest score with a favorite. 4.6

		| | Favorites are important. I often go thru my favorites, many of them represent the style I wish I had.  My lowest scoring image got one fav, I like to think by someone with a great sense of humor.  Out of 25 photos picked as a fav by someone, 9 of them were in a challenge.

		| | My Second lowest scoring image. 4.8 I got 2 favourites. My wife will kill me for bringging this up into the light again but I still think it's a decent image if not technically so good, at least on an artistic level

		| | 4.6, 2 favs. I believe it scored low because many people wished he was dead. ;-)

		| | not sure what a "favourite" is, but this is my lowest scoring shot that got a favorite:    ;-) 
 
   
 I really hated this one too.

 It always feels good when a picture you yourself like, but doesn't do well, gets a couple favourites.
