And up til that last day I had a rock-solid 6.74 as my lowest score, but mysteriously last 6-8 votes like I said, hit the skids. Yes, I definitely feel that I was robbed of a ribbon. |
Gosh, Susan, all I can say is lucky you that your scores go up during the last hours of voting. It's certainly not been my experience. Pretty nearly every challenge I enter (and those are very few and far between these days) the score drops during the last 12 hrs of voting |
Well, certainly not all the time, but mostly (and in Standard challenges which are usually what I enterI do see some score creep upwards during the last 12 hrs. Usually those are shots that are sleepers, though, ones that start off slow and just keep edging up. With Spotted Critter, it started in the 7.3s and of course soon dropped to the high 6s where it bounced around 6.7-6.9 but looked to be pretty safe and finish in that realm. So when it went to the 6.4s and kept dropping, I was not amused at all.
Anyway, I'm over it now, so just going to keep projects going and working on my PS skills. |
