These votes don't make sense...I feel insulted with the score I have been given. I may not have the best image in the pot, but I feel confident that my image is good. My image is much better then the score I'm stuck with. I feel like I'm being jiped.....

Just got the most bizarre comment I've ever had.... And not in a good way. My score took a hit too.
Still doing OK though:
Avg Vote: 6.4231

You are being jiped [sic], your photo does suck, and nobody loves you.
Back of the line, pal. |

That's the one! I wouldn't worry about it. That person has never entered a contest so I'm taking it as a compliment :) |

| Mine too. It's disheartening. But the way I figure it my DP score is secondary to whether I love my picture and in this challenge I love my picture. Does it appeal to the masses, apparently not, but I'm happy with it. |

| F*ck the posting curse, I'm already cursed. Started strong with an 8 last night and have dropped down to a 5.6. I have three comments and a fav!! The last comment is another bizarre one-word comment. I checked the profile - 100 comments made- 8 were checked as helpful. That splains a bit. |

| I would imagine this person is leaving one word comments to get a rise out of people. Or...that's the only word they "No". |

Try Wendy! LOL! Seriously Deb, you're awesome. Don't let the voters get you down. |
Yes!! Try me!! I would love it if you were my mentor! (I keep telling her I love her street photography, and that I want her to teach me everything she knows!!) |

51 votes
96 views
sub 5
no comments
Does it take that many views to give me a "1"?
My take on these voters:
"Let me see. I've looked at it 5 times and I still think it deserves a one. However, it meets the challenge, it is in BW, there are shades of gray, and ohh, shadows too. It's not over processed and seems fairly sharp. I guess I just don't like the subject.
Should I leave a comment as to why I gave it a one? Nawwww, he'll figure it out. Now, back to drinking my tea and reading the paper."
Gotta love it! |

Goes through good and bad patches. Hopefully it'll stay at this side of a PB!
How's yours holding up, Wendy?

| Well I just went through and voted and I personally thought there was a lot of fantastic stuff there. I gave out tons of great scores, so I'm not sure why everyone is getting hit with such terrible ones. Troll, I guess? Whatever, next challenge, moving on.... |

Well, I didn't get a "no" - got a different word. And no, it wasn't a "yes". Lol |

I am in the back of the line pal! And my photo does not suck...and I'm very much loved. I'm expressing how I feel...like everyone else. Not sure why you feel sarcasm is needed! |

You're okay. It's a test of your mettle. Don't let anyone get under your skin. Be confident in yourself. Ignore the ill-timed humor. Continue to make photographs and show 'em what you've got. |

Sad commentary on the times. Personally doing well in this challenge (for me--and that is really all that matters). I find it amusing that Trolling has become such an obvious issue on this site. However, I think the update button, and these threads do nothing but encourage it. However, as I am obviously posting, I enjoy the threads just as much as everyone else.
I view DPC like golf. If I am doing well against my own work as a whole, and improving, then I don't worry about what my photo "deserves". Not that I haven't been surprised by a low score or two, but that just means there is something I am not yet seeing in an artistic sense.

Wendy, can you mentor me, please?
Thanks!
 kichu, thanks for the most excellent comment! I'm still sub-5, but now much happier. Glad you liked it. I do, too!
Edit to add that I'm totally sucking with respect to my own work, the site average, my average, and common decency. I'm good with that.
