I think I scored pretty well for some people.


what four points can you deduct to get to 5.6?


I'm not sure what you mean. What I meant was I think I gave out some really good scores to people.

I just gotback from a vacation, and checked my score, could'nt believe how low it was, but then I saw this thread, so I'm not the only one. I have 2 lovely comments though, so there are some who like it.

62 votes,
5.9+ and two nice comments.
I am also surprised at the low scores in this challenge. I think that it may be a problem with how shooters and voters comprehend the challenge criteria/description.

Strange...I don't understand how all of you are getting this low scores.
I just finished voting myself and honestly, only 1 or 2 entries were euh..how should I put it...less good than the other entries.

You have rated 124 of 124 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 4 images (3%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.1129.

I guess the other voters are feeling blue seeing all that blue.

Hey MargaretN: here's something to chew on; Hamlet was not a play about indecision, it was a play about procrastination.

Interesting. So it is about what he didn't do rather than what he pondered on. I am on a third glass of wine and it is after 1am so I'd better finish for now :) Spiffy has been slow with the pizza ;) I hope the scores will go steady in the morning.


The "TO be or not TO be" soliloquy is not about "if" but about when and how, and why me- and its inevitable- all die around him- he must not let things stand... really uplifting.

15s x 10, 20s x 9&8, 19s x 7&6, 27s x 5&6 and the rest I'm blurred searching for ROT and blue.

Hmm, mine suddenly got hit with a bunch of low votes. Dropped .5 in three votes alone! Grrr. Guess they found out I had some high votes and felt they needed to counter, lol!

100 vote check in. Comments reflect some unusual ideas on rot composition, not in line with my own. But, that's okay. I expected that. Also, I expected the "blue" criticisms. Not everyone is going to like my photography.

Finally made it up from "beneath notice" to "full-fledged mediocrity" Life is good. Now that I've said that, I feel some 1's and 2's coming.

I'm still low as well. But the 4 comments are really positive, go figure.

Someone has even said, my shot was their pick for the challenge, and another gave me a 10. Don't get the low score then, were talking under 5.

I'd like some critic at the end of the challenge if anyone would kindly do that.

6.04 with 4 nice comments. Since my overall DPC average is only about 5.25, this one is doing ok.
07/26/2011 10:02:59 PM · #94
HA! Someone is trying to stack the deck in their favor...lowest vote of this challenge just came in. LOL!

i waited till the end-ish to ask... did anyone else sense that there might have been a bunch of art class entries? quite a few shots seemed to be "forced" ROT of (IMHO) very drab/boring subjects...

As in all visual subjects, the viewer sees what is in their head, all their insights good and bad. Their comments are a measure of their worth as reflected back by what they view.

Maybe you need to reflect on what you do...

To be honest, I had a different take on the topic. I was shocked when I first started to vote. I spent the week thinking about a single blue subject composed via the rule of thirds. However, I tend to read the topics once, and shoot later...by then it's a vague guideline.
