 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...

 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 paintings
 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".
