the file i will post in the threads after rollover
to show that all is above board

this i will do with all future validation request
until that day we will have some kind of transparency
of the identity's of who does the requests

would be interesting to see the same names occurring

I just uploaded mine. I would also like to know why mine was called up. It is such a straightforward shot.

Not bad considering I could have much improved it with simple edit changes.

I had a validation request in the recent Minimalist Landscape challenge which I thought was a straight forward shot but someone didn't?
This has happened to me about 4 times now and as much as it does annoy me I fully understand and respect that we need to have a process where we as members can question the validation of a any photo.
So I happily send of the original knowing all is good.

I did send it off and have asked for a reason. I fully believe the author knowing the reason helps settle them somewhat.

You folks did agree to send the original when you entered the contest. I don't see what the big deal is. I wish they would validate more often, except for my photos (:

I totally understand this. I wouldn't even mind more validation requests if we knew what was being questioned. Or if we knew that it was a random request and was happening to everyone now and then.

I chose to redo my lowest scored picture. I changed what commenters suggested (which was not much).
Then I get an unhelpful comment about how nothing has improved and how that commenter (whose identity is hidden)wishes I reshot my highest scoring shot...

I don't get it. Pretty discouraging to say the least. Not to mention with the suggestions of others it is currently doing worse...

Spooky - 0.75 improvement! But no favs, my Take One has one fav.

PS Just after showing my score here I had 2 views on my Take One and the score went down. As always it is best to keep the scores secret which I will endeavor from now on.

Mine has improved, not that much - and not making my front page just yet.
Neither many comments, but I got a Fav and a Wish List.
So, what is better?

This is higher than my original shot that scored 4.9306. However, my origanal had 8 comments that were all positive and some with helpful tips. The average commenter score was 7.1429. I'm in two minds that I have actually improved my image as I value comments more than votes.

While typing this my next vote was a 2. Thanks
