I have high hopes for mine, so I'm afraid to look and see it with a "meh".

Ah well.
I'd say you can't win em all, but I don't win any, so...when I win, I guess i'll have to say "you can't Not win all the time ;-)"

The last vote of a three kicked the legs out from under my 6+ average. They were thoughtful enough to leave a comment. I am not saying I disagree with them...

Thought I had a strong entry that nailed the typical "Stock", but the collective doesn't agree. Maybe I'll actually put it on shutterstock and see how it does in the real world.

Seems like a buttload of shoehorns, or else a buttload of people who don't understand what stock photography really is.

Apparently I don't know what it is, because my "strong entry" is still going down.

I should have prefaced that statement with the obligatory "just IMO"

I have to agree, as someone who has tried to get stock photos accepted on several sites, and who has been successful with a few. They actually tell you up front, "photos of x, y, z will not generally be considered.". But if you look back, there was a lot of top placers that were " x, y, z" in the previous Stock Photography challenges.

You people are just no fun:)

Just thinking out loud here... I don't go to stock sites, don't really know much BUT... I think the idea is that stock sites are where I would go if I want a picture to buy and hang on my wall, right?

So I guess I should only vote on the images I would want to see everyday hanging up in my living room?

Ok wait... that's what I do with every challenge so .... how is this different? I'm so confused.

My first nine voters were pretty fun (avg vote = 6.3333). The next nine were not so much -- maybe they were bitter over having their stock entries rejected (avg vote = 4.7777).

You are trying to take a shot that an advertising company will purchase.
Something they may use online, a billboard, a magazine add, etc.
