Possible problem with my score in pink

So this is my problem, my pink entry started out with a pretty low score, well I have been there before so no real problem. But as this week has gone on the score has been going up more and more, more in fact then I have ever seen one of my scores go up. So what is the problem you might well ask? Well it is getting dangerously close to edging out one of my top five scoring photos, which means it would show up on my profile page. Now I donâ��t dislike my pink entry but I am not sure I really want all that pink on my profile page.

Maybe you should have done it in blue?

Not a problem.. tell us which one it is, and we'll all go give it a 1.

Or.. maybe we'll give you a 10, and make sure it's your highest rated ever.. and it'll be on your profile FOREVER.. MUWAHAHHAHAA

Maybe they'll give you a pink ribbon.

I could try to get it disqualified, put in a DQ request and claim I lost the original.

BTW it is easy to tell which is my photo, it has a fair bit of pink in it.

Maybe thats why it is doing so well. It has the most PINK.I'll go and see if I can find it. Give it a TEN.

hmm... an interesting problem you are facing.
Could you please explain to me, why having a pink photo on your profile is a bad thing?
If you give a good enough reason, we might consider some great move here.

Personally, I really really hope my pink entry will end up high enough to be in my profile page. So far it is going to be, but dangerously close to the right edge of the page.

If it was no in a pink challenge it would not be that great of a photo, well even so it is not that great of a photo. It does not take all that high of a score to get to be one of my top 5.

Ahhh so number 5 is the problem.
I'll tel you what: when I go to your profile, I see 9 of your highest ranked pictures there. Maybe there's a key to your problem: just set the number of photos per row that you see to a higher number then 5 and your problem is solved.
Hopefully you will not ask me to pay for the bigger screen you might need ;-)

I happen to like pink. I'd be proud to have my pink entry on my profile. Granted, I love my shot. lol.

Won't happen though. It's doing well.. a 5.76.. but it's in no danger of becoming high enough to even be in my top 8

Scott,
consider putting your real favorites in your bio section, so nothing pink can bump them off of there. That's what I did, anyway.

Also, look at it from the positive perspective: you'll have an added insentive to improve and score high with your future entries just to push out your pink.

I have mines set at 7 images across and they all look blue to me. A touch of pink would only force you to do better to knock it off :P

He's trying to use reverse psychology on us! He really wants us to give him all 10's.

You're worried about a bit of pink?
Wait till you get a self portrait stuck on your profile for a couple of years :-/

If you have a setting of 6 images wide in your preferences, you still have a self-portrait on your profile page ;-)

My fourth place image will probably get bumped by my pink entry. I'm cool with that. I actually like my entry, not that pink is my favorite colour, but I don't hate it as a colour either.

I really need an orange challenge right now.
Not that I know what to shot, but orange is my all-time favorite color (guess why...) and I would loooooove to have one in my portfolio for good!

But I also like the pink entry very much. I really think it's a good one and although I'm happy with it's score I think it deserves more then that.
