Well I think this whole thread totally ruined my score. It has fallen a bunch since this talk started. :P Seriously the trolls must be voting now. Mine dropped from 6.2 to 6.0 today. :(

I don't think all the people who voted have read this entire thread, and many people don't give a crap what others say and just vote how they want anyways.

Sorry wavelength I was being silly but guess my post didn't show it. I don't feel like anything discussed here has anything at all to do with my score or anyone elses.

See what I get for trying to help someone? This place is so damned uptight, nit-picky and anal anymore it's really sad. Used to be a lot of fun. Now it's take measurements to determine percentages and a protractor to see if it is perfectly level, and, and and.... Sheesh.

Oh and I'm right there too on the big drop - was over 6.6 now under 6.3
Ugh. Feel like I should go clear out my desk or somethin...

Is okay, I wasn't upset at you or anything.

I was upset when whatever dude started the whole Bokeh crap in the first place.

Bouncing is exactly right...in the space of 8 votes I got a 1, then 8, 9, and 4 votes averaging 5.75 and then another 1? What is up (or rather down, up, down) with that?

Well no more checking of my stats. I just hope it stays right up there with the big boys/girls. I am very pleased that I ran with this photo instead of my phobia one. as I am sure my phobia would have ranked right with my other submissions. and thats one trend I sure wanted to break.

I totally agree Brad. You're almost afraid to say anything for fear of someone jumping on you. This week seems to have really been a bad week for people bitchin about things too. What's up with that? Man it's the holidays...be happy and enjoy!
I shouldn't have added fuel to the fire with what I said earlier. I just felt the comments thrown at you were unnessessary. Sorry!

Just to gripe some more my score is now down to 5.9. I have never had one drop so quickly. :(

You have rated 347 of 347 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 26 images (7%) in this challenge.

I hope to comment on at least 20% of the entries. On to the other challenges. I truly enjoyed this challenge. I'm not in any of them so I'm a bit bummed out. But what a joy looking at all of your images!

I was hoping to get something beetween 5 and 6, possibly 6.5. NIX. I am under 5 now and just getting lower. I thought this contest was about getting things in to clear focus and near things in front and back out of focus. Was I wrong?
I even tried something that needed fast capture, something that moves fast, not something standing or hanging still. But nope. I am under 5, almost dropping to 4.6.
Maybe I should have dropped this picture.

Gunnsi, don't be disappointed with a lower score in one challenge. As for what you should have photographed, I think we should not discuss or else we are both going to be slammed soon :)
let the challenge end and you can post your photo in forum and ask for feedback, that would be much better option.
