You can't. You need to calculate them yourself.

previous score * votes = total points #1 (6.6190*21 votes = 139)
current score * votes = total points #2 (6.5455*22 votes = 144)

total points #2 - total points #1 = last vote (144-139 = 5)

Or use an automated tool, see below :-)

Early days still though. Lots of room for disimprovement :-)

Pretty much a kick in the teeth for me. The one comment was balanced constructive criticism, which I appreciate. I did have higher expectations for this image. Just goes to show.... you never really know.

Good on you Judy, I'm still waiting for your comment.

Well from a dismal early low of
4 votes 4.75
to a happier score of
6.13, I knew those early voters didn't know what they were missing ;)

sigh, i understand now why this is such a big deal to people here. I've checked my results 7 times since this morning....Really was looking forward to the review comments too ( i check boxed).

Welcome Devinder :) and JUST 7 times in a morning? 7 times an hour is more like the norm lol. As for checking the box that would be for a Critique Club member to pick up after the challenge. Comments on your image during voting may be few and far between for everybody.

A bit better than I actually expected, still poop though. The comments so far are exactly what I thought they would be.

i m sitting on a 5.1, which is a tad disappointing because i thought it was a technically sound photo with a story to tell. i've got much to learn..

It's your first challenge here Devinder and I don't want to make out 'we' are an elite crowd, but we can be harsh when it comes to voting. 5.1 in a Free study is nothing to be ashamed about, my first submission was a 4.2 so you got me beat ;)

Also, take a look at the other entries in the free study -- it will probably give you a little more perspective.

Another thing you should realize -- almost everyone here agrees that the voting is a little harsher in a freestudy than in a regular challenge. Probably because the competition is so incredible, and because there's a month to get the shot right, and it's usually people's best of the best that month, so people expect a little more.

I agree with ecce signum. 5.1 is a very decent start in a free study.

One of the "very bad things" about this site.

A photo that's a 6, 7, 8, or 3 in a regular challenge SHOULD score the same in a free study.

Free study should only be interpreted as "any subject you want" and nothing more or less.

Until people start recognizing this and stop voting for photos in comparison to the others in the challenge and instead on their own merits, the problem will never be solved.

That said I'm about 1 point lower than my photo deserves. Probably because of poor voting styles.

Off to a very good start with a really nice comment. I just hope it doesn't tank over the next few days.
