Not necessarily, there are about 389 entries matching that criterium.

When I look at images for a challenge I firstly check out previous dpchallenges then I usually look on one of the top stock sites like getty.
Nearly without fail there is great diversity in opinion. Check out....
Getty Images - High Contrast search
As this is the scores thread I suppose I should post mine

I've decided that stock photography is what does well around here. I don't do much of that, so.......

I hate myself for submitting what I thought would do well rather than something that I liked. I wish I could leave myself a comment - "what boring, mundane crap" |

We seem to be experiencing an epidemic of zero comments. I would try to comment on a few myself, but I am really overloaded this week.

You have a bunch of 6 scores that don't look like stock photography. |

For the record, I am pleased with how my image is doing... SO FAR. lol! I am especially thankful to kirbic, louddog and tfaust for making it possible for me to submit anything. I have not so in a while.
For those keeping track of their scores, mine has been slowly dropping since late afternoon yesterday after it topped 7 for a brief time with 60 votes. I identify with your pain if yours has dropped also.

Hang in there... be advised that scores tend to drop at this phase of voting but have a slight jump at the end. :)

Comment is a rare commodity in this challenge. Useful ones even more!
I finnally got a couple, but I have no use for them.
It wouldn't be bad to have a couple of good meaningful comments. That's what I am trying to do with mine, though far from being an expert in the matter.
Anyway I am over it and (hopefully) things can only go better from this low.

Yes, but look at the dates of those scores. ROFL The winds have changed.

It's probably a superb shot, but not high contrast. Most entries have mostly midtones,not predominant highlights and shadows.

Today's Analysis
Given the total number of entries, we are probably about at the halfway mark in total votes for this challenge. My score continues to dip up and down slightly but with a slow general decline from its peak at 7.04 at the 60 vote mark. I suspect that type of fluctuation is true of most everyone else at this point.
A secret about comment percentage during voting
The percentage of voters that comment on your image during voting is a strong indicator where you stand compared to others. People sometimes give you their vote tally and number of comments but not their actual score. But you can bet if their percentage is higher than yours then their score is higher than yours as well. So even without revealing their score, you can still know if you are in the running for a ribbon.
I'm at just under 8% comments in total votes. At my peak score I was right at 10% comments. You are generally in ribbon territory during voting if your comment percentage is 12% or above, probably a little less than that for a challenge with as larger a number of entries as this one.
Based on that percentage I'd say I'm in pretty good shape for top 10 but probably outside the ribbons. That is supported by my current score.
Btw, it is very flattering being marked for 2 favorites.
Does anyone care to verify or deny this analysis based upon your current score and comment count compared to mine?
You don't need to give your score. ;) LOL!

Agreed, I made a careful review of your comment percentage using the latest statistcal analysis software tools and I was able to conclusively determine:
1-You have a lot of company!
2-You could be tied for last place but probably not
3-There may be other images out there with lower scores that are so horrible that they generated comments and therefore have a higher comment percentage than yours.
Conclusion:
In this challenge, you can win for nuthin!
