I think you're right about that. Some entries bother me more than others. I usually just make some "choice" comments directed at the voters in general and turn off the update for awhile. Hang in there. |

I wish we had a challenge "#10 without human" or "#10 human only".
at least we would know there will be bunch of repeats and vote for the photo, instead of saying "oh no... another one"
:(
I think I will hold my voting until later this week... waiting to cool off a little bit, or I will vote very low...
Kind of fuming right now :( |

Update is off, but I'm betting it won't really help my score :)
As the masses grow, the scores are much less forgiving. I think we're simply seeing a lot of people that are more willing to give low scores. Dunno. Maybe I'm really getting worse and don't have a clue of what makes a good photo. Anyway. I'm done raving. :) |

Or maybe the bar is just being raised as the competition and increase in standard forces you to improve all the time. |

I'm right there with you. '10' is only my third challenge I've entered, but I've been slaughtered in all three. It's starting to take a toll on the confidence, lol.

It's better than that, of course. I'm very proud of this picture, and it's running about a half point below where I expected to see it.

Dont worry Jimmy. Still another challenge to go this week and 5 other photographers to help pull it together. I have a 6.3 in firworks so that gives us at least one good score. I know that my Ten shot and my perspective shot wont beat that out. Get out there and take a ribbon winner for tomorrows challenges my man.
