Just wanted to point out that you have voted lower than what you have recieved.
Votes Cast: 1125
Avg Vote Cast: 4.1253
Votes Received: 3585
Avg Vote Received: 4.6653
So what is the problem with you getting low votes? You seem to be able to give them out, but don't like it when you get them?
btw I didn't vote but I wouldn't have given it a very high one because a Jim Thome autographed baseball is not an everyday object. A plain baseball would have worked much better.

I think you know the voters i am refering to here... the first batch of pointless 1's and 2's that they auto post just to be mean without knowledge on photography. Its not a case of agreeing with my views about a picture but more a case of thoughtless "Moronic" voting. I really dont believe that it is a difference of opinion here more likely that the "Moronic" voters I am talking about would score anything with a 1 or 2 vote regardless of obvious talent and creativity that went into the photo, hence why some ribbon winners have at least 1 vote of a 1 or 2 when in reality the winning photo is more deserved of a 6-9 vote. I hope that explained what i meant by "MORONIC VOTING".
thank you

I don't think the people that gave "9 ones/17 twos/32 threes" to that shot were all morons.

That's a pretty meaningless judgement, turdave, the votes recieved vs votes cast has little to do with anything. red can't control what other people vote, and if the last round if images was lower quality than usual, red's voting average would go down. For all you know, red has given out scores of 4-6 on every challenge, but recieved only 1's and 10s. And a .5 point difference is piddling.

Or for all I know he gave out 1's and 10's on all of his...so whats the point? I was pointing out the fact that someone is quitting because they get low scores but yet they aren't exactly handing out high ones themselves.

you just made an argument against your own stance. If you don't know what red voted, but only the average, you know nothing about how high red's scoring might be. If red has been voting 4s, 5s, and 6s primarily, then there is every reason for red to be suprised at the low scores recieved from other people.

I agree... not ALL of them but definately some. I feel a score of 1-2 or 3 should be accompanied by a comment as to WHY the voter scored it so low and any suggestions on how the photographer may improve the image.. after all, we are all here to help each other aren't we???

I have to say that this was one of my favourite shots from the challenge and I was very surprised it didn't do a hell of a lot better than it did.
Keep up the good work there siggi :)

| I started handing out higher scores in the beginning but then I decided to vote based on comparision to what my picture was getting...If I though someones photo was better than mine and mine was getting 4 I would score that photo above mine but if I don't like a photo it's going to get less than what I am currently recieving. So basically I have become just as bitter and nit-picky as some of you, and I don't like to be that person. I will share my photos with other people who appreciate them a little more. |

about 5 seconds in Photoshop would improve this dramatically i my eyes. just tweaking the curves a little would make it pop i think. You could also dodge the highlights on your model, which is a little more accurate (and takes a little more practice to make it look natural). It just seems really flat to me. cool idea tho.

Plus, a little less toilet paper (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) may have helped the score a little too. I know, I know... bad, bad beagleboy who likes the naked ladies. LOL!

That is not an argument against my own stance. I don't see in anyway how it can be. Again all I am simply saying is that someone is handing out on average a 4.1 vote while recieving a 4.6 and he is quitting because of low scores. Yes he might be giving out 4's and 5's...but it could also very well be 1's and 10's.
I mean come on already, I got 2 1's, 21 2's, and 35 3's on the chocolate challenge which I feel aren't deserved because I meat the challenge by having chocolate but quitting because of it? That would just be crazy. |

A low voting average is a low voting average. I donĂ¢€™t know what you guys are arguing about???
Complaining about low scores when you are guilty of giving low scores is hypocritical.
If you are scoring low, it is your fault. It is not the voters fault. The voters are not morons, the voters did not miss your point, there are no trolls, they did not vote you down because your shot is too artsy and the voters did not fly by vote on your image. If you get a low score it is because you failed to create a photograph that appealed to the majority.
