Probably not. I went out of my way to take a decent shot for this one, it's in the 2.7 range right now.
I guess I should stick to submitting crap instead, I do better.

+1 Some outstanding ones!

I didn't enter this, I've been told to not hog the top ten, so I will give you more of a chance to win, hehe ;)

The height of mediocrity. Almost all the votes since I logged on have been 5s.

I have trouble discerning your brown ribbon attempts from your blue ribbon attempts. ;-)

Over the very long term at DPC, your average vote cast will be in the same ballpark as your average vote received. It's a karmic justice phenomenon, which may be totally dumbfounding to you. But, it is real. A karmic tendency is a noncongruent affecting variable, neither a form of physical phenomenon nor a way of being aware of something.

In a strange way, you can affect your karmic justice by treating others in the same way you wish to be treated. It's something Buddha knew and Jesus knew... but you have yet to discover in your early years of life. ;-)

Glad you threw the smiley face so we know you knew this was a load of malarky.

Fair enough. I have trouble at times myself.

This is the part I have problems with. I have never cast a vote based on who took the image, only by what's presented in the image. I know based on comments others do not.

When it comes to fair and consistent voting, karma shouldn't be involved. They shouldn't even be in the same sentence together.

It is often the case that painful truths emerge first in the form of denial; one needs to create distance from what is painful.

Getting more confused on subsequent readings. What are you implying?

I wonder if Buddha and Jesus were antagonistic and demeaning toward others.

The Buddha didnâ��t use language like this at all. And it didnâ��t take much to track down the source as Swami Sivananda (1887 â�� 1963), who was indeed a Hindu, although he wasnâ��t a prince. He was, Wikipedia tells us, the founder of The Divine Life Society, Yoga-Vedanta Forest Academy, and author of over 200 books on yoga, vedanta and a variety of other subjects.

It's awesome you're a walking bartleby, it'd be even better if you answered the question.

Are you implying I'm in denial other voters are vengeful and vote based on the photographer as opposed to the photo? Or are you implying I'm vengeful when it comes to voting?

I still stand behind my comment from above:

If Buddha knew Jesus, he wouldn't have been Buddhist.

I'm implying your very low average vote cast matters to you, even if you are in denial about the karmic justice boomerang.

I think I'm going to test this karma thing out.

The next three challenges I'm going to vote:

Below Average Photo: 8
Average Photo: 9
Above Average: 10

After that I should be expecting my first blue

LOL... back to scores,

I dropped .2 in 2 votes (thanks!)... but am slowly building back up again.

Wow... Your theory has a big hole in it and is bleeding all over the carpet.

Quite frankly, I think the people who score higher would have a lower vote given average... because they are good are making great photos, they should also be good judges of the photos here... and if they are honest, they would score the bad ones and the good ones accordingly.

If I get a nice comment and even a score cited, I look at the persons history. If they've ribboned a zillion times, then the comment and score (good or bad) means a heck of a lot more to me.

If their average is low, but I know they just gave me a great score (6+), then I am honored and they must have seen something in my shot. Likewise if it's bad, I assess they are a Simon Cowell who is "being honest" even if it hurts... and that is good feedback to have.

Mom will always tell you your work is good. Getting told that by someone who knows and has proven themselves at is far better.
