I got myself a "meh" photo, I had high hopes for this one. Maybe the winds will change in the next 100 votes

About as expected at this stage. And I knew it would be a risky entry.

5.33 @ 3 votes

Added: Lot of haters out tonight. Sub 5 now. Not surprised, however.
Added: Back up to the 5's. Again, not a surprising behavior.

All my last 20, maybe 30 images, even my ribbon winners, experienced a low votes bombing at the beginning. All of them went under 6 and not only at very beginning, they were in tiny violin territory even after 20-25 votes. It's not a problem because I'm sure that this happens to everybody here. But the fact that perhaps someone is having fun doing this bothers me.

The one comment confirms I took a risk and was too subtle. It is going to effect the overall result.

Exactly what I observed lately. In the end it doesn't matter when the low votes come, but how often

its definitely been erratic of late, i always thought the first 20 or so votes gave you an idea but ive had 5.4 reach 6.5 then ive had 7's drop to mid 6s etc

although this starting strong and finished 7.1

Same. Started below a 5 and has climbed to 6.1 now. Thank goodness. I knew I didn't have a ribbon winner but I didn't think the score would be sub 5. No way.

My photo is just a blah photo (and I knew it going into the challenge). LOL.

I gave out ONE 10 in this challenge and that one just popped in my face and screamed BURST of color at me.

Was in the 6 range last night. And I was thinking it would be in the 6 range (give or take). This morning....

At least the comments are letting me know why it's so low.

Mine is down to a 5.3 but I really like it.

Well, Venser and I had talked about the idea of doing a "who can score lower" side-challenge between us, but he decided to go with a legit entry (the decision to even try for this only came up on monday, and he had a shot already taken, so i don't blame him for going with what he thought might get him an actual decent score instead of purposely tanking).
That said:

I'm sitting .74 above what my "challenge to Venser" score prediction was... i'm sure you guys will see to it that it doesn't rise above a 3 again, and i don't blame you, *edit* forget that, it does belong here, i'm just trying to have fun and nothing says you can't put up a stupid photo to have fun.*/edit*

If someone is actually lowball voting for sport, then you are giving them exactly the reaction they want.

Going up a little, but still expecting to see some wild swings.

In my attempt to enter a legit entry, I'm rewarded with a 4.9xxx as of right now. Looks like it's time to stop trying again, at least until the TPL.

I'm with you. I thought for sure mine would be at least a 6, but one vote away from 4.9x.

You're probably right, but the whole thing doesn't change my life, if someone if having fun is sad, there are a lot of better things to do in this life :)
