I'm happy with my score. It reinforces the belief that my vision of art is far removed from the average voter here.

The blow your own crumpet challenge. least amount of entries ever....

I apparently have Zero idea what art is, or can't relay it fer shit, sub 5 score.


I am sorry if I wasn't clear- I meant that if we had a blow your own crumpet challenge we would get the least amount of entries ever...

misinterpreted humor, the story of my life- that and inappropriate laughter.

Well... at 33 votes, my entry is at 5.1515... starting to suffer for my art.

I figured that the score would be all over the place, and I also figured that many wouldn't see it as art. My hopes were for comments. Let's all try commenting on the ones that make a connection. Let's stop the suffering! :)

Wow I've never received such a brutal drop since I've been here on DPC, well maybe one or two other times: I will just have to ignore the 6 comments and 1 fave that I have, because the score doesn't compute!!!

I have always questioned a 1-10 scale to rate anything, in this case art in 2D image form.
A 3 tiered voting system is more accurate and also teaches the uninitiated voter to look for more than just immediate reaction. To afford the artist a genuine look and understanding of his/her work. It also follows a more traditional salon style of voting. Naturally it will take you longer to vote and has other side affects and counter arguments.
1. Composition 1-5
2. Lighting 1-5
3. Subject and Creativity 1-5
and then throw this into the mix:
(4. Personal Appeal 1-5)

Art is different to everyone. An A0 canvas on the wall of an Amoeba swimming in a Petri dish to a picture of horizontal grass/water lines that fetched $4M+

Note most expensive doesn't mean best in your eyes imo.

List of most expensive photographs

Oh, my "artwork" was shot with a POV that had in mind; unusual, art, thought provoking, questioning. I used a POV that is getting an unappreciated 4.7

+1 this as a new voting mechanism, it will block all the ''I hate 5'' threads :) Thanks to Art Roflmao for his creative suggestion here.

The voting in this challenge has turned into a mockery. The challenge itself is now a parody of what it once was.

Looking at the dates I can see where our retirement money is going. After all the money lost in GFC is in someone's pocket (or rather hanging on their wall).

Apparently, I was wrong - they were rather gentle. The latest voters are really brutal.

Wendy's right! I know I am hoping for comments. So I'm going to make an extra effort to do some commenting for this challenge.

Not bad but not a TT contender. Still, I like it very much. But probably not artistic enough to the voters.

OK, I need four more in-voting comments to equal the number I got last year. My score is just a little under my last year's finish, but I still have hopes of equaling it which was my goal (though I actually like last year's entry more than this year's). Will I make it?

I suspect many of these votes were made with the mindset of "I don't know art, but I know what I like".

Well you got me beat, I broke out of the 4's but not by much. Currently 5.2
