This was a difficult challenge for me to vote on. Whilst many of the entries were very difficult to identify (and so fulfilled the challenge), there was also a great many that were just not very attractive images. I didn't find those to be visually appealing images in the least.

So what do I vote on: the degree of difficulty I had in guessing what it was, or if the macro puzzle actually had some appeal to me?

I've already voted based on the latter, but may revise after some further thought.

I would have thought you would have learned by now not to mess with me. Don't you remember what happened last time you beat me? :P

You can't intimidate me!

gcoulson, I agree entirely. Very difficult to vote on. I ended up mostly voting on aesthetics, and subtracting points only if I felt the shot wasn't macro. Very difficult to vote on indeed.

You guys are thinking too hard on this one. It's supposed to be a fun challenge. Vote on what you like. Have fun with it. Vote happy. :)

I agree. Voting on this challenge (or any challenge) should be pretty easy. Do you like it? Yes or no, then vote accordingly. With that said, I guess people don't like mine.

And here I was thinking it was at least a 6.

I usually try to see how well things fit the challenge when voting, but on this one, just because it's obvious to me, doesn't mean it's obvious to the rest of the world. So I just sit back, enjoy, and have fun guessing. :)

True enough. My vote for this challenge is acutally higher than my average vote. Taking out the puzzle made it higher.

No. But you can give me occasional scares!

My entry seems to be puzzling several people. One comment is just hilarious in how terribly wrong it is :-P
This is a fun challenge!

I've not got one entered but I'm enjoying trying to figure out what they are. I believe I have nailed some.

So far, three out of three wrong guesses.
(erm) we won't talk about the score.
02/21/2011 12:29:40 PM · #62
Same here. Three out of three wrong guesses and we definitely won't talk about my "welcome-back-as-a-member-to-dpchallenge" score! ;)
02/21/2011 12:43:01 PM · #63
I have 7 comments, 4 guesses, 3 which are correct. Guess it's not that much of a puzzle!

I have 6 guesses, 3 of which are correct (including yours Karen). Apparently not as puzzling as I had hoped. Score is decent at 6.3xxx

A couple of guesses that are on the right track, but not quite there.

If you see the words "obviously" or "clearly" in my identification of your photo it means I have absolutely no idea and have likely invented a word to describe it.

I wish I were more creative, as mine is an easy guess and not doin' so hot.
02/21/2011 01:07:10 PM · #67
I've only two comments. How's everyone getting so many?
02/21/2011 01:18:52 PM · #68
My 6 comments are 4 wrong guesses, 1 has no clue but likes it, and 1 with no idea and pretty much hates it.
02/21/2011 01:20:01 PM · #69
I have 4 comments now.

clmadden....thx, nice comment ( for the others, Cindy didn't have a clue what it was :) )

herfotoman ... very funny comment and did make me laugh out loud, which was the intention I assume :)

KarenNfld and franktheyank .........way,way off the mark :)

10 correct guesses, 2 incorrect, and one person just saying "hi". At least I stumped two people...

Are you plummeting too, NiallOTuama, or are you firmly in the lead now?

My guess would be that you've stumped the lot and people are saving the toughest for later.

I'm staying pretty much around here. Was at .08 a few votes back though. You'll pick up again. I had a magnificent streak earlier with 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 one after another.

Heh. That's a good thing! I though it was obvious what it was.

I think I'll have to write this one off. Now I have to start thinking about how to freak you out this time...

I don't want you to overtax yourself. Perhaps you should just give up now. :P
