Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro for Nikon

I just started voting on this challenge and looked at my stats after about 6 votes. Apparently I gave out a bunch of 10's early on. Either someone else was logged into my account or I was accidentally clicking the 10 button instead of the >> arrow when previewing the entries right after rollover. It appears I may have been the "anti-troll" mentioned earlier in the thread. Sorry.

I will be revising those votes and just wanted to make sure people know when they see the noticeable drop in their scores that this is not a case of a "tactical voting".

On a mac if you use cmd + to zoom on the image and then use cmd 0 to reset the size it issues a vote of 10 and moved to the next image arrgh

Oh I do agree with

posthumous that there are 20 good ones, but that's a pretty low amount, with as many entries as there are. :~)

I think 20 good photos in a challenge is a lot! :D

My average scoring shot shot aside (and currently being validated - WTF!) I didn't see 20 images that stood out, maybe half a dozen that met my missed focus criteria and could meet the 'compelling' part of the challenge. If I'm honest there is some ~~shite~~ very under par work to be voted on

haha! Hopefully my 5.8-ish score would then do quite well. Also being validated, weird.

I have decided to vote and comment on all entries in this challenge. I haven't done it in a while but I think this challenge is right up my alley. I have done 6 so far, having to take a break to eat (and drink wine, a lot of wine). I'm not sure what I expect, but if anyone has an issue with my comment, PM me. At the every least, I will be amused, if not ~~trashed~~ surprised. I take this as a mood/emotion challenge. If you don't like it, join me in a glass of cheer. It'll make you feel better about your score.

Not great, but it is above my average. And I'm quite pleased with the number of comments I'm getting.

I was in love with nearly every picture I saw. My creativity clearly comes out when I drink because I had a lot of great things to say that challenge. I kept calling my husband over... "Hey, you just HAVE to come see this one!". I was driving him crazy.

Hmmm, I just popped open a Miller Lite; maybe I'll slam down a few more and then finish up "missed focus". Wonder if my perspective will be completely screwed up because everything will be out of focus anyway. >;o)

I had a good little buzz when I took my shot so maybe we'll meet in that zone. All I ask is that people actually look at the images before they vote...

Pretty miserable showing, I sort of missed the concept of the challenge. The one saving grace is that I got a comment from Judi.

lol, methinks you have been here long enough to know voters don't actually look at the images before they vote!
