With only 65 entrants even if I get the brown it would still be my 4th best placement. LOL |

Grrr... I thought my score was going all right, then I updated and had 3 new voters - dropping my score because their average was 3.67 (maybe a 3,3,5; or 2,4,5; or even a 1,5,5 - either way at least one of the votes was low) I know it is pointless to waste my energy on it but I so do wish those who feel it necessary to score so low at least leave a comment explaining why they did so, so I can learn from it and make my future photographs better. Oh - only in a perfect world I guess.
Grrr...

I agree - it's only a matter of courtesy.
Having said that, it's interesting that there appears to be a common theme running through the images - almost as if a group of submitters got together and decided to use a particular object as a theme as a sub challenge within the challenge.
Very interesting.
Just finished the rating pass -
Stats: You have rated 65 of 65 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 8.2462.
Comments pass tonight after I finish cleaning the garage. :>)
Later,
Tom

First vote last night was a 3! And, of course, no comment. Was very pleased to wake up this morning and find it was over six-and favorited! I'm stoked to have it doing so well since my last entry was a total disaster. Hanging pretty steady at this score all morning. Really great and helpful comments too. At least some people know how to give feedback!

| Wow. This is the biggest jump in score that I've ever got! Started at 4.667 now 6 hours later I'm at 5.04. Still not a great score but it's been rising all day. |

So what are you studying for Rachel |
Eventually I hope to be a registered nurse. Right now I'm knocking out prerequisites and general ed classes and just generally having a great time. I put off college to get married and have kids, which is a decision I've never regretted, but now that the kids are a bit older I'm really enjoying learning again. :) |

FAR AND AWAY my best score ever. In my prior days of DPC obsession I was stoked if I got above a 6 -- I mean SERIOUSLY stoked, as in when the day came that all my top 4 were over 6 I did a little dance. It's all going to be downhill from here. :) |

Scores up and down all over the place. My first vote was a 4, arrrrgh.. It's kind of crazy as my last challenge was a bland copy of an old studio based idea which resulted in a great score. This one was much more satisfying, is more creative, but as expected the score is a bit Marmite. Each week is a dilemma, do I chase a good score with a well executed studio shot or be satisfied with pushing my creative boundaries and accept a wider standard deviation in the scores. Maybe one day I will learn enough to do both!!

That dilemma is why I like side challenges better than regular challenges (although regular challenges definitely have their place and have taught me A LOT) and also why I took a nearly-two-year break from participating in DPC. It probably does us good to do both -- the people-pleaser shots and (of course) the creative ones. But it IS discouraging to take a picture that you LOVE and watch other people receive it less than enthusiastically. |

As much as I love photography, I never want to do it professionally because then there would come a time, I'm sure, however brief, when I hated it and wished I'd never owned a camera in the first place. I want photography to continue to be pleasant and relaxing and completely voluntary. ;-) |

| Thinking of quitting altogether. I cannot seem to get out of the 4's. Maybe I just need better equipment, but I am frustrated by my poor performance. Guess I thought I had a good eye. I seem unable to translate that into good photography. |
