Let's not start spreading vicious rumors here. It's 5.48! 0.02 off the proverbial median. But I do agree I voted higher on this one. I kept a pretty loose interpretation of sentinel and almost always let the picture do the talking. However, one picture in particular I had to ding although I thought it was excellent. I just couldn't see it as reflecting the challenge.

The median's 5.46? The hell?

Aw man. Just got 1'd.

Yeah, but it's not *THE* SoL, the New York Harbor one. Those New Yorkers are pretty literal about stuff like that :-)

Stats: You have rated 125 of 128 images (98%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.8880.

I did my best to counter act those low voters. Oh and I voted earlier this morning so no blaming me for the recent run of low votes.

Actually, if you'd really done your best, your average cast would be somewhere around 8.71. :-b

someone is "adjusting" i've seen my score pop up and down the past hour without # of votes changing...

Ah ha! Your warrior votes are getting soft and generous...;-P

For this challenge, my average vote dropped well below my usual forgiving nature. Lately, I have begun to assess images as a more critical thinker and I weigh photos differently now than in the past. I can't decide if that's good or bad yet.

No single image really stood out to me as a DNMC except...that atrocious image of YOU dressed up as GROG!

Did Wendy take that photo? No wonder she got a 4...

You're getting more analytical?! Argh! You gave me the 4! Actually, I have multiple 4s, so both you and doc low-balled me. Wow... former teammates, too. Oh the humanity!

Yes, in my short time here this has been the most weird voting pattern. Some kind of a revenge I guess. It seems that those who did not enter themselves for one reason or the other are having fun at our expense. But we will be ready when they are back.. Hehehe


Hmmmmm...I don't vote to have "fun" at other people's expense.

In fact, my overall average vote cast is 6.5...;-)

SORRY! I was so carefully wording my post :) that I was slow and your post finished earlier than mine hence the unfortunate timing and the wrong conclusion! You have done a lot to save our scores so badly severed by the narrow minded interpretation by a small band of heavy handed trolls! (well, this is too carefully worded again! ;)
I went to bed (Australian EST) with 5.8, now I am slightly over 6. Things are improving! :)

PS Ironically this post has again hit the entirely wrong sequence! I'd better go and take some photos of a marble in a bean stack!

You are imagining things or someone is hijacking my schtick. I did think of doing that, since Grog WOULD guard his cave to protect his females and younglings. Didn't do it, however. Couldn't find any good approximation of a cave.

If you were scalvert, you would have built yourself a cave!

@Steve...don't get your Groggy feathers in a bunch! Poor Jason, he has to suffer through all of my imaginations and I just said that to tease him and Wendy.

@Wendy...not me! PuppyBear was bored this morning...HE gave you the 4...;-P

@Marnet...no worries. As I voter, I'm secure in my own limitations of which being a troll is not one of them! I'm looking forward to seeing which image is yours when the challenge is over...;-)

bear?! I should have known. He was mad because of the whole gradient vs non-gradient issue! I've been betrayed by our fearless leader! Oh the humanity x 2!

I'm gonna go vote now. And I'll be fair! Gotta keep the good karma going.

Just got the inevitable 1 bomb. There's always someone dropping them.

They liked mine because I got a 2. If you are quick enough you can sometimes catch them voting by looking at profiles of people online... :)

I really feel like my image is super underrated. Sure, its not the epitome of 'Sentinel' but its not a shoe horn either, and I think the subject is sharp, with good colors and a pleasing composition. I am really not understanding the score.

I have already voted if you want to send me your entry (won't change my vote)... just so I can see and let you know what I thought... Only if you want.

At about 15 votes I was near 6.8. At 35 votes, 5.8 (grrr). Now:

I can now confidently predict a final score somewhere between 3 and 8.
