Visual appeal, simplicity, clarity (of image and concept), and lighting... roughly in that order. ;-)

Don't be. It's tough to stand out from 400+ entries when you can't even use the impact of color, and good B&W conversion presents its own set of challenges. I would expect this challenge to be on the low-scoring side, with a few abnormally high scores at the beginning as people cherry-pick those with particular impact. The really high scores should moderate and the middle scores will tend to rise over the week.

Very well put. :)

6.1 is my personal best and that was 20th place my highest and I really think this entry kicks that entry's but ..... but there are 400+ entries hard to judge or compare.

With a 7 at 49 votes, you may drop down into the high-6 range in the next 12-24 hours, but then you'll get a slow rise over the week and finish comfortably over 7. Probably a top 10- congrats!

Worth another prediction. With a 7.8 after 52 votes, you'll probably tack on another point and several wish lists over the week, at which time Langdon will find some reason to DQ you for beating DPC's top score. The entry will be removed, memories erased, witnesses relocated, and it'll be as if you never entered. ;-)

Of course you are.

It will be a brutal week for me. My image looks like total crapola on a low resolution screen...like what I'm looking at here at work. Looks great on my Cineman Display at home and it printed beautifully. ...but

I thought my image had a classic old style and feel but it looks more like junk, right now. SHIZZLE!!!

What's up with the high scores? The last Black & White II challenge had a high score of about 6.8. Are the entries that much better with all the 7+ scores, or have the voters relaxed a bit?
