Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS

I can't wait for this challenge to be over. I hit 7 a few times early in the week and it's been down hill every time I check it. Just yesterday I was a good .2000 points higher.

So many comments, and on a sub-6 score... I can't remember the last time I had this many comments.

You know it's funny, it seems like 50% of the voters vote right out the gate then it's super slow all week, then on the last 6 hours of the challenge the other 50% vote and vote you down at that. hahaha

Okay after voting on all the images I don't think I will finish in the top 5. I was able to pick out 5 that I thought were better then mine or so I thought.

To all those that I did comment on. If I hurt your feelings I'm sorry. I was just telling you what I personally saw and it shouldn't affect the way you think of your own work. Everyone likes to see something different and each image to everyone looks different. Just please keep taking pictures and try new things to improve your creativity.

Never thought I'd do so well with a shot of a rat since so many people don't like them, lol. Some lovely comments, a favourite and a new PB, very happy!

Pretty unhappy of my score even if 23rd is not awful, but the strange thing is the 22 votes under 5 - without half of them I could score 6.2-6.3, that was the worst I was expecting from this shot. I should think that DNMC police was out... but why? This was not only about body features - We often remember someone for the little things about them or their personality.

I can't beleive this is my all time worst picture. I am so ashamed to show my daughter. (That is her in the picture) Yet she excitingly asked me how it was doing all week. I couldn't tell her, so I just said "Lot's of people like it" (20 votes were 6 or above)

It's like you took one picture with a Nikon D5100 and the other with your Droid X (in the middle of the night)

It was a pretty well composed shot, that I foolishly tried to get a vintage effect with. I wanted it to be like a memory, but obviously failed. I am pretty sure if I left it alone and only did the typical USM/levels, it would have done much better... Oh well, live and learn...

I think you are doing what you need to do- doing what you feel. Sometimes you go serious and it works- as with the Military tribute shot. Well done- but sometimes you have to let your personality through and not care about the score- also well done. or as with your "bullet extraction"- you can do both.

For what is worth, I completely ignored the postprocessing and gave it an 8.
The subject fitted the theme wonderfully and in a sense even the postprocessing fitted the icon kind of look of the image well.
And it was so very funny :)
