I was so happy this morning to see that my wacky panorama is on the front page - flight of fancy, yeahhh

Now I'm watching my Shutter Speed entry and feel a heavy downfall....
One of the first votes must be a 1 - I'm not used to that from early voters ;-)


It's no rant, it's fine, not every entry can resonate with the voters.
But my own expectation was quite differnt, so this is an indication that voting is unpredictable.
It's just the other direction of Niall's thread Unexpected positive response

No need to comment on voters behaviour, we've got this plenty of times already, just a personal thing I wanted to share with you because success and failure occur one right after the other

I get you. But there's still hope! In a recent challenge, I started off meh on something of which I was extremely proud. When you start off low on a good shot, it's most likely to go up! But when you're used to happy voters in the beginning, it gets rather worrisome. :)

Thank you for your encouraging words, Wendy!

In the meantime, the whole thing has been put into perspective...
I was just so startled because already the 2nd voter gave a 1 - that has never happened to me before.
