It still amazes me that there are or have the appearance of teams taking the same pictures. In this challenge there are at least 4 teams that are taking the same picture, same subject. I guess no problem with the rules, afterall it's just for fun. But it sure would be great for everyone to try to be original. We can all learn more from the different subjects and techinques. I guess when teams shoot together then we can learn from them on why one is so good and the other not so good.
Holding at 6 with 20 votes. Interesting rollercoaster on this one. ;)

Not so sure: certainly, in relation to the London photos , I have seen several of the same two buildings. When taking photos for the challenge, I took pics of each. I think that the same buildings are being used because they are quite obvious triangular-based buildings for those who are looking, rather than because people are necessarily going out shooting together.

I'm depressed, I started this morning with:
Votes 9
Views 12
Score 6
Fantastic, my first 6 (I know, it's only a 6, but it was my 6!)
Now though I've dropped to:
Votes 26
Views 29
Score 5.1923
Oh well, same old same old. Is it me, or is the scoring very slow? |

So far, so good, but before the number of votes gets above 150 mark, there is no point in either getting depressed or excited about the score. I like my picture anyhow, so the final score is not that important for me (albeit a ribbon would put a smile on my face ;-) ) |

LOL, maybe, but I like my entry much more. I'll just have to be patient and wait for the bumps. I'm confident I'll end up at that perfect 10 yet! Voters are just getting a feel for the submissions, the lay of the land.
:-)
edit: --> LMAO Buzzmom! :-D

I'm in the same situation my triangle was a bit week but it was a great image. My reward 3.9 I I started with a 1 this is my roughest start ever.

It think the scoring is low in this challenge because everyone is preparing to give the proper spread with my image, so the results will eventually end up with mine at a 10.0 and everyone else at a 1.0.
:-D

Not sure where your image is at in voting...but I thought it was a 4.7 or so last time I read...maybe that is a 10 in this challenge. |

I'm right there with ya smilebig4me... Damn this is disconcerting! LOL I thought I really had a good one this time too (and yes 2 other people used the same idea, but mine was so much better - LOL!). Oh well, there is still lots of time and this has been the most bizarre early voting I've seen. There are a lot of entries so there will probably be a lot of votes to bring up those less than optimal starts (a comment or two would be nice as wellâ€Â¦).

I am not trying to be rude to anyone(sorry if you take it that way)...but did I enter the triangle or macro flower shot challenge?
I understand the bridges but wooozy on all the flowers. |

Oh so that's the story here! I was a bit worried really... this is definately going to be my lowest scored entry ever!
But I don't care a bit! I had a lot of fun taking it (and for that I owe all the thank-us in the world to Tristalisk here), and I really don't care how it ends. The fun will remain longer after the votes are over. |
