It boggles my mind that the same photograph will score so violently different on two different photography sites! My current challenge gets top marks on another site, yet starts off with a 4 here.... can anyone shed light on this phenomenon?? *sigh*

different peeps are voting on differnt sites.
Is this a cahllenge that just started? If so, kinda early to call it quits, no?
You may wake 2morrow to find that it is doing quite well.
Good luck!

Was it submitted for the same theme on both sites ? If not, it would be hard to compare, wouldn't it ?

Also the folks here at dpc tend to rate on a lower scale than I would assume that most other sites would (just a guess - I really wouldn't know). In quite a few challenges the average photo scores under a five.

It's a little more conservative (traditional) around here as well...

Off the Wall had a 5.5 average after the first few votes, but finished over 7.7. You never can tell how things will work out....
