same here, 5s when I was getting mostly 6s and the odd 7/8 before

Is it that people on certain times zones vote low whilst other times zones vote high??
This morning I was getting 6s and 7s and the odd 8
Now I'm getting 5s and the odd 4

That's my theory as well. The high and low votes often seem to come in groups.

Yeah all is going swimmingly well and then a bird of prey declokes and hits you with a tracheon beam of 4s before you can get the shields up grrrr

This is only my second submission so it is quite possible that mine is a crappy shot, but we'll just to have wait and see.

I'm sitting on 4.93 at the moment which is not surprising given the nature of the photograph. I took it on holidays and had no idea about this challenge until I returned home the day after I shot it, so I took little care when I took the photo.

Next time I will remember to think DPchallenge whenever I am away cause who knows what challenge will have started the few days before I come home. :-)))

I was away for 2Â½ weeks so it wouldn't have mattered, except maybe for the Free Study challenge. I flew out on the 29th June and had little access to the net as I was diving for half the time and in the jungle for the other half. I think I might have a good one for the free study though! :-))

Thanks for your advice though!

I'm hanging for a DSLR, I want a Nikon D90. Got to play with one in Borneo and now I want it. LOL

I want to apologize for my "crap" comment.. I was in a mood and hadn't had any caffeine yet. : )

I think some people really tried to get more "creative" in this challenge; some images were executed well and others not. I have been in the 4.whatever range in other challenges when I tried to think more creatively, but I've also have won a ribbon or two. I know here on DPC it's a growing/learning process but I also think it's a popularity club which I haven't been (and prefer not to) asked to join. : )

I was in very heady territory but it has now begun to fall steadily; helped on its way by the '2' I just got. :)

There is a voter out there who is passing out 2s. I recieved a 2 as well. I wish people didnt do that kinda sh1t. Mine didnt deserve a 2.

Using a spreadsheet that does the calcualtions for you. I use the one that

HawkeyeLoneWolf has linked on his profile page. Last time I tried to access it the link was bad. If that is still the case. PM me your E-mail and I will send it to you.

Added: It still does not work.

I didn't see anything that deserved a 2, but for a handful of members, that is their default vote for anything that does not stand out to them.

I swear there are a handful of voters that use the scale upside down...

4.4 and dropping. I'm delighted to see this photo scores so low, cause I appreciate it.
