I sometimes wonder at the scores people give/receive. Why does an obviously stunning picture sometimes receive a 1 or 2 (assuming it meets the challenge)? Is it always in the eye of the beholder?

Well, for fun I took a look at my score (currently 5.4) for the complementary color challenge and decided to compare it to the same score in the original challenge (at //www.dpchallenge.com/challenge_results.php?CHALLENGE_ID=98 ).

I had to admit that I would have ranked myself pretty much in the same spot (5.4) in the previous challenge if I had submitted my current picture there.

So, despite the occasional voting aberation, I think my peers are pretty accurate - in this instance at least.

Which leads me to question...How would you rate your score against the earlier challenge? Be honest now....

You are kidding right? With nearly 800 current images to look at in active challenges I'm going to go back thru a prior challenge...?

Well, OK. I'm sure I would have made Top 10 with my current entry. But then I haven't looked at the other 72 entries in the old one. Hmmm...82 entries in old challenge, vs 317 in current challenge. Let's see, if I took the brown ribbon in the old by coming in last, I would be in the top 74% of the current challenge. That's pretty good yes? ;^)

Sounds a bit like Apples to Oranges. Wait, that's Red and Orange. Don't thing that works for complementary colors - does it? I'd get crushed! That reminds me, I like Orange Crush. Haven't drank one of those in a long time! Wonder if they have that at my local store...
