Is it taboo here to tell others what your entry is?

Yes commenting is rather slow. I am used to getting about 5-10% comments on decent shots.
I have finished voting, will do some commenting.

I'm hovering about 5.45, and I've gotten a grand total of 1 comment.

The votes seem to be about on course, the commenting might be a little down. I think a bunch of folks have burned out after looking at nearly 1000 images this week. I'm trying to decide if I have the proper attitude to vote the "bizarre nature" challenge this evening, or to let this one pass.
I'm seeing just short of 5% comments on my "Calendar" shot...

...and I feel very lucky to be where I'm at. I shot my entry 18 minutes before the deadline, which didn't leave much time to edit and submit. I pulled another entry to submit it, one that I'm pretty sure would not have done as well.
Flip side is, I have another take of my final entry that is actually much better, and boy do I wish I could have entered that one.

| OK, now I'm getting comments (7 actually), but I'm not sure I want them. I'm getting hammered over one aspect of the photo that has been successful in the past, but doesn't seem to be working for me. |

Isn't that almost always the case? I switch at the last minutes sometimes, then sit wondering what was I thinking afterwards.
Glad you didn't use it, and better keep an eye on your rear view mirror - coming in behind you with a 6.3838.
And no borders in this one - LOL!

6.2 here. If you stop suddenly, you're gonna get rear-ended. |

I think if you have a good shot, you get comments. I may finally get a ribbon on this one, and it was a shot taken when I was doing a site assessment for a class. I shoehorned it.

Hey, lookin' good! hopefully it'll creep up and get you above the 7.0 "barrier." That's always a good feeling! Good Luck!

I am very confused now about what people are thinking when they vote. I went from a 6.12 to a 6.02 overnight. I have 2 comments and they are both very good.
I am now completely convinced that some people base thier votes on how well thier own submission is doing.
No I am not complaining saying my photo deserved any certian score. I was very happy and suprised to see it doing as well as it was. The feeling I got when I see it nose diving is sickening.
I think I want the update button removed or at least a option to turn off viewing the scores till the challenge is over.
Edited for comments: I now have 5 comments and they all love the photo.

If you go to My Home>My Preferences you can turn off scores AND the update button during voting.

| Yeah, this is the lowest number of votes and comments I've had since the beginning of July. |

Sniff, sniff....looks like that 7 mark won't be a happening thing in Macro.
Oh well, at least I should be in top 20 35 or so in Impressionism.
ROFL
Had to update. Why? Just because xion, just because...LOL

I can't seem to find my violin smiley. Maybe you could shift some of that Calendar score over to Macro to help you out (say... .15 or so)? ;-) |

So far I've managed to vote 100% on Calendar with 50% commented on. Zero and zero for Macro. Hopefully that helps balance things out a tad! LOL
