This really pissed me off. The person is entitled to register their vote and post their comment. It's just not necessary to throw out a comment like that. The person went out of their way to insult. Wish I hadn't submitted an entry.


If we are talking about the same person then I think that this is their commenting template for all the pictures in the challenge and not just yours. If I'm right then each image is getting an appraisal on whether it's nat geo worthy or not so I wouldn't take it too personally.

Okay, I'll take the comment in stride. The baghead's other criticisms of the image indicate "brand new photographer" misconceptions. I'll try to learn from the "fresh eyes".

Cruising along nicely now, fairly decent score so far.

Incredible light commenting, don't you think?

Considering I was barely above 5.0 after 20 votes or so, I'm pretty pleased with how this has come back (and both comments are positive):

It seems the later voters accepted that NG publishes stuff other than wildlife.

My one commenter liked it. Still a little better than I expected.

I think that is the norm nowadays. Unless the picture is fantastic or sucks it won't get many comments.

The 1 comment is a DNMC message from a baghead.

Awesome entries. I've never given so many 8s and 9s. My screen is filled with them!

So many good pictures, I'll be pleased if I even make it to top 10. *fingers crossed*

Dropped from a 6.404 yesterday to 6.17 this morning. Still elated to be in the 6's again, hope it stays there.

My first challenge and I am very happy so far. I received a couple of very positive comments that make it worthwhile regardless of the score!

Guess no one likes it much, or at least not enough to comment.
