| Honestly, the title loved had me puzzled ? I knew I was missing something?.I thought perhaps it is a bag of potatoes, and you were maybe fond of hash browns. |

I stand corrected. :-P~~~~~

Bobg, don''t mean to beat this one to death (since Lisa''s Loved already seems that way) but I just revisited the rules and this is what it says:
While voting, users are asked to keep in highest consideration the topic of the challenge and base their rating accordingly.
BTW, I question whether it is entirely fair to start discussing one''s submission and feedback received to date while the voting is still going on. It does induce people to revisit those submissions (as stated in several posts here), some further clarifications have been given which might influence the vote, etc. . . Don''t want to sound like a horrible bureaucrat but still since this is supposed to be an anonymous process . . . Comments anyone?

To completely beat this into the ground. There's not enough fabric left on his face to hold any eyes...it's like guaze. So, here's a diagram.

Not to also be a lame-o but I agree with you, Journey, on both your points :)

Aww...no fun. Alright pull my submission (pleeeez) or how about if everyone who's read this thread goes back and gives me a one to penalize me for discussing my photo/comments...that would hurt more...I'd have a puny score really dragging that average down. Whip me, spank me...I've been a bad bad girl. :P (In all seriousness, I'll try to comply in the future).

Oh, Lisa, please, don't take this personal. It was not AT ALL my intention to attack you or anybody else. But since this thread in the course of a day became a source of much entertainment and presumably much traffic, it might start a (bad) tendency to start discussing one's submission during voting.
Let me give an extreme example: Someone is very proud of his submission and receives some negative feedback. By Tuesday, she/he starts posting that people are just "not getting" the subtleties deliberately employed in his picture. I.e. voters are put on the spot and they may possibly revise their votes and comments in order to avoid coming across as dimwits. Fair? I don't think so.
On the other issue, sticking to the topic, I have given quite a bit of thought and find it is only right to penalize a picture to some extent if it does not meet the challenge. People go out of their way to come up with ideas to meet the challenge. And the big fun is to see 200+ totally different interpretations of the same assignment. There is an obstacle attached to meeting this challenge and I feel it is fair to downtick someone for not meeting it or poorly. Under Autool's method, a flawless, beautiful picture that is totally off topic could still fetch a 7 or 8 rating!
Last week I did a nice shot (at least I think so) of a waterfall (like to do nature shots). For my first submission I picked something that I don't usually do (and it is good to be forced to expand your horizon because of those challenges). What I submitted is getting horrible scores but that is okay. I have learned a great deal from the experience. The waterfall shot would have gotten better scores probably but I wouldn't have learned a thing from submitting that.
Finally, pardon my pontificating, if periodically there is a Free Study challenge, one can always submit to one's heart desire. |

I didn't take it personally at all and I really do think I should be penalized...I was only making fun of myself for begging for disqualification or 1's with my 'whip me, spank me' routine...I'm just having fun and no stinkin' lame-o rule quoter's going to ruin it! :P JUST KIDDING!
You're right. All it took was a few other people commenting on their own photos pre-contest close and I thought it must be acceptable to do the same. What's the best punishment? Disqualification, suspension, automatic score of 1, have the prefix 'cheater' added to your username for a month, oooo, how about a permanent record?
No hard feelings...REALLY!
