The first challenge after quite some time. I had a good idea, at least I thought so, biked 60km to get my shot and had a wonderful day out!
But I wouldn't mind just a bit higher ...

Whats funny is that many of my lowest scoring entries look awesome as prints.

And this is what happens:

Mary, I did the same thing and it looks like we're in the same sinking boat. LOL

From looking at the other scores posted I guess this isn't that bad. :)

I actually thought the shot was pretty good! My last one was good, but I couldn't get it to look good compresses and I expected a bad score, but got a hair over a 5. I thought this was a much better shot...oh well! Only my 2nd DPC in a long time!!

Some of you saw individual vote scores (how many 1's, 2's, etc...) do you have to be a member to see this? If not, could someone tell me how to see these scores? Thanks! And best of luck to all!!

Here's to the rebirth of realistic voting:

You have rated 99 of 100 images (99%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 23 images (23%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.6768.

As always, some comments explaining the terrible score would be nice...but I'm not holding my breath. It frustrating that I come on here to learn and then don't get any feedback from the voters. Oh well.

I don't think I've ever had one move up like this. Most of the time if I start out with a low score it just gets worse.

Finally passed 100 votes and it is still quite clear that this entry is not pleasing the voters:

Except for one commenter who was most appreciative of my effort. Even said nice things about the result ;-)

BTW, this is on track to be a new Personal Worst! Always nice to set a new record, doncha' think?

Aaah, it is so nice when somebody gives you a 2. I know that with a normal distribution one gets these border cases, but it still feels like I'm going to turn into the Hulk any moment :) Holding thumbs for the border case on the other side of the Bell curve to come through now.

Your lucky with your 2; I just got a 0.9, the spreadsheet couldn't even handle it (it was a 1 of course and in the same time someone lowered their vote). Down 0.07 from vote 108 to 109

LOL! Ok, I can't complain, it could have been a 0.9. What are the odds??

wtf, I just got a zero!
1 hour ago I had 109 votes and 5,5596 average, now I have 110 votes and 5,5091, spreadsheet calculates the last vote as 0! i guess it was like with eyewave, someone gave me 1 or 2, and someone else lowered their vote... sigh.
08/14/2009 11:15:14 AM · #70
I also just got a 1.

Well after three plus years I finally entered a couple of challenges (this being one of them), and just a few minutes ago decided to pay the full membership fee. :)
Now I can see my scores updated when I feel the urge which is much better than waiting around an hour at a time...just to be disappointed! LOL. Now I can do that anytime I feel like I'm getting to cheery and have my score bring me back to reality. LOL.

The main reason I am posting here is to find out if there is an official spreadsheet that people are using to track their scores or if you all do it on your own with a spreadsheet that you've individual made up? If there is a community spreadsheet on the site could someone please point me in the right direction...I'd appreciate that.

Not really thrilled with my scores so far, but hopefully that will improve in time. I have had some very good comments though. Cheers!

3 positive comments (thanks all!) but nothing to explain the uber-lowness of the score. It's starting to slowly work its way up...but it's definitely too little, too late.

Thanks Eyewave, I appreciate that link. Unfortunately it is giving me an error when I launch it both in the web browser and as a download.

Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'blowery.web.HttpCompress' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (E:\CustomerData\webspaces\webspace_00100608\wwwroot\pv\web.config line 58)

Good be my anti-virus, or it could be that I'm using Microsoft Office 2007. I'll look into it more later.

Thanks again :)
