		| | These votes don't make sense...I feel insulted with the score I have been given.  I may not have the best image in the pot, but I feel confident that my image is good.  My image is much better then the score I'm stuck with.  I feel like I'm being jiped.....

		| | Just got the most bizarre comment I've ever had.... And not in a good way. My score took a hit too. 
 Still doing OK though:

 You are being jiped [sic], your photo does suck, and nobody loves you.
 
 Back of the line, pal.

 That's the one! I wouldn't worry about it. That person has never entered a contest so I'm taking it as a compliment :)

 I wouldnt really care, except my score somehow dropped under 5 right after!!

		| | Mine too. It's disheartening. But the way I figure it my DP score is secondary to whether I love my picture and in this challenge I love my picture. Does it appeal to the masses, apparently not, but I'm happy with it. |

		| | F*ck the posting curse, I'm already cursed. Started strong with an 8 last night and have dropped down to a 5.6. I have three comments and a fav!! The last comment is another bizarre one-word comment. I checked the profile - 100 comments made- 8 were checked as helpful. That splains a bit. |

 Mentor?

 Try Wendy! LOL! Seriously Deb, you're awesome. Don't let the voters get you down.
 | 
 
 Yes!! Try me!! I would love it if you were my mentor! (I keep telling her I love her street photography, and that I want her to teach me everything she knows!!)

 sub 5
 no comments
 
 Does it take that many views to give me a "1"?
 
 My take on these voters:
 
 "Let me see.  I've looked at it 5 times and I still think it deserves a one.  However, it meets the challenge, it is in BW, there are shades of gray, and ohh, shadows too.  It's not over processed and seems fairly sharp.  I guess I just don't like the subject.
 Should I leave a comment as to why I gave it a one?  Nawwww, he'll figure it out.  Now, back to drinking my tea and reading the paper."
 
 Gotta love it!

 How's yours holding up, Wendy?

		| | Well I just went through and voted and I personally thought there was a lot of fantastic stuff there.  I gave out tons of great scores, so I'm not sure why everyone is getting hit with such terrible ones.  Troll, I guess?  Whatever, next challenge, moving on.... |

 Well, I didn't get a "no" - got a different word. And no, it wasn't a "yes". Lol

 I am in the back of the line pal!  And my photo does not suck...and I'm very much loved.  I'm expressing how I feel...like everyone else.  Not sure why you feel sarcasm is needed!

 You're okay.  It's a test of your mettle.  Don't let anyone get under your skin.  Be confident in yourself.  Ignore the ill-timed humor.  Continue to make photographs and show 'em what you've got.

		| | Sad commentary on the times.  Personally doing well in this challenge (for me--and that is really all that matters).  I find it amusing that Trolling has become such an obvious issue on this site.  However, I think the update button, and these threads do nothing but encourage it.  However, as I am obviously posting, I enjoy the threads just as much as everyone else. 
 I view DPC like golf.  If I am doing well against my own work as a whole, and improving, then I don't worry about what my photo "deserves".  Not that I haven't been surprised by a low score or two, but that just means there is something I am not yet seeing in an artistic sense.

		| | Wendy, can you mentor me, please? 
 Thanks!
 
 
  kichu, thanks for the most excellent comment!  I'm still sub-5, but now much happier.  Glad you liked it.  I do, too! 
 Edit to add that I'm totally sucking with respect to my own work, the site average, my average, and common decency.  I'm good with that.
