		Well, I'm back exactly where I was 25 votes ago right after the -1 bomb.
 
 Maybe the "aberrant" voting was the high votes that had me nearly 0.1 higher...gotta remember that's just as much a possibility... |

		I would start a rant but I am not gonna... 
 BUT....
 1) Not every image has to be over sharpened and reprocessed with 2 runs of NI to be a valid image 
 
 2) back in the day before the advent of 6GB storage cards,12.4 MP cameras and $29000 Blads noise was part of photography... as a matter of fact real photographers would choose a film for its grain pattern .. 
 
 grrrrrr sometime I wish for my F3 and a 24 roll of pan-x 
 
 That being said... my image is doing exactly as expected :) |

 My last 10 entries have averaged 72 comments each. I only have 10 in the Free Study, though. :-(

		| I think the problem with my image is that I did not do very much post-processing. Don't use the NI.. all I did was slight crop, color adjustment and USM.  That will teach me!!  LOL |

 Just counted:  81 comments total for all challenges entered. :(
 
 But!!!! 10 for the free study!!!  When asked I can now honestly reply "Yeah, I'm on par with scalvert"
 
 Happy Place time.

 That's just about all I did with mine Kat.  Nancy told me to "Just say 'No'" to neat image!!
 
 Maybe it's time for a little red wine to ease the Angry-Voter pain.

 NI has its place but not for every bloody image that is shot...

 Ah yes... A Talus  Lodi Cab 1999 is a very nice selection for the evening

		I'm not angry at all. I LOVE my submission. I think it is perfect in every way. I even have a printed copy because it turned out so well. Anyone that sees it does the OMG BEAUTIFUL .. so 5.2 is a winner for me!!  :)
 
 Beringer Merlot for me tonight :)

		I have already sold mine 5 times and its been on TV.  Its getting below 6.  Well the one sold is a variation.  Voters dont seem to matter much when your at the bank cashing checks.

 I meant "Angry-Voter" as the voters are angry people who like to give ones to images that clearly deserve a 9 or 10 -such as our entries clearly deserve-,  you don't seem the angry type ... at least you've not exhibited angry behaviour. :)
 
 Good wine choice btw. :)

		Well, my score steadily went up during the day.  Now it's steadily going down.  What is it, voters upset because they are home on a Friday night?
 
 I must add, I have 7 comments.  One of them, a nice review, from one of the top photographers on the site.  That means more to me than the score.

 I was figuring around 5.9 - 6.1.  I guess I was off the mark. |

		I too went up steadly all day. The last few hours has been up and down. I'll get and 7 or 8 then a 5...then a 6 then a 7 then a 5 etc....
 
 I hope to finish above 6. Maybe 6.1 - 6.3. I feel I have a better than "middle of the road" shot.
