In response to nds' forum, I have tried out the scoring system on an Excel worksheet.
1) Any score between 1 to 5 inclusive will drag the overscore down.
2) Conversely, any score between 6 to 10 inclusive will have an incremental effect on the overscore.
Conclusion : The photo being judged must score 6 or above. In other words, it must pass the passing mark of 5. That means, even if a voter gave one a passing mark of 5, the overall (average) score will go down instead of remaining the same before the voter gave the photo a 5.
Anyone reading this, please advise if you think the photo in position 184 deserves better than the photos at 193 and/or 194. IMO, I am puzzled why the photo passed at all. |

The midpoint of the 1-10 range is 5.5, so that's why a 5 will drag down and a 6 will push up... so unless d&l want to code a 5.5 option into the voting range... ;o)

Hey limkinglok... I just looked at your photo, and found it interesting that so few people seemed to understand it. They complained in the comments that there's a woman in the background, and yet the photo is titled "Someone to Watch Over Me", and it's easy to see that the background figure is the baby's mother, watching him (or her). Plus you got the typical low marks for shallow depth of field. I think you took a wonderful, artistic photo full of meaning and significance.
This had nothing to do with the subject of your thread, but I wanted to say it :). |
