 Just went through them and honestly finding a full top 10 would be tough. I haven't viewed a free study in several months, maybe as long as a year. But wow the decline for the free study is huge.

		| | Once DPC voters cannot find a shiny stuff to fly to... they are like angry mad bees, keep stinging anything comes to their way! 
 As I was telling, I never thought I am that bad photographer... but apparently I am. Sitting between 4s and 5s!

 I had the completely opposite reaction.  I saw very little to dislike as I scrolled through.
 
 Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

		| | ok on 2nd time around I saw a few  more better shots so maybe I was a bit harsh on everyone, sorry! 
 Mine keeps jumping to 6.00 and back down to 5.8ish, then back to 6.00 and back down again, looks like maybe a tiny violin for me!

 I'm surprised no one has voiced this opinion about the "Color Portrait III" challenge as well.  I was really shocked when I voted on that one.

 I voted in the color portrait, hoping to see some great stuff. Sadly I too was disappointed.
