First, this is not a whiner thread. I am just posting this out of interest. I just saw the thread comparing the two cat pictures and wanted to show off a more equal comparison and allow you all to draw your own results.
For the recent Sweets challenge, I entered a shot based off of another I saw to see if I could pull it off and to see how it would score verses the previous shot.
The "inspiration" image is 
My entry is 
I did not score or place as high as the inspiration image.
My conclusions are that it was a different time and a different place and that there is an absolute randomness to photo challenge voting that can't be ignored. To try to make a science out of it is absurd. |

I like the second image better. Guess it's the softer lighting, the angle, the fact that a bite is taken out. It's more interesting, in my opinion.

I agree with your conclusion. I think your remake is better. The first one was entered in 2003, when expectations weren't what they are now. I think the first one would be hard pressed to pull a 5 today.

no offence, but that was 2003 man! just take a look at the shots that were scoring 6+ back then and you'll see a world of difference, no matter what the subject, challenge title, etc.
eta: I agree with your conclusion that you definitely cannot make a science out of it. But my point is using two (completely different) shots in two (completely different) challenges spaced 9 years apart isn't the ideal approach.

No, that's a brave & selfless sacrifice; everyone knows candy is really really bad for her... You have my admiration.
