Those two comments, I suspect prompted by the 'please leave a comment along with your low score' nag, confirm what I've always said about requiring comments for low votes - they both just say 'this pictures sucks' and I'd already gathered that from the score heh.

I'll race you to the bottom. My score hit the lofty heights of 4.44 at one point today, and is now back where it started, at 4.29.

The solitary comment is actually positive. So fat lot of use that is.

So, how white is white, and how light is light?

I had the impression that white was white, but to make sure I let the background be in the order of 240-240-240 (not that, but close, won't be revealed). 1 comment says it is burned. Yes, white IS burned, isn't it? It does not become more burned than white, too bad I am at 4.7 something. I did not want any sub 5s any more, and thought I was OK with this one.

Doh!

No sub 5? Ask, and you shall get:

I had some constructive critique, thanks. But as for some of the critique, it is obviously intentionally done in this pic this way.

I'm at a 4.8xxx with 51 votes.....no comments to explain the score, and I really can't figure out why the score is so low, unless some people are being REALLY picky about what they consider light to be. Will someone with some free time and a big heart tell me what I did wrong when the challenge is over?

Knowing who some of the entries belong to and matching them up with the scores posted here it appears voters think the challenge is "lighting on white" instead of "Light color on white", what it suppose to be. Am I wrong?

(Yanko, I thought it was a light color on white background.)

Well, every challenge I submit, the average just keeps dropping.

But I got 4 comments!!! w00t! Hard to learn if you dont know what you did wrong!
My biggest complaint was a pink cast over the picture that I didnt notice before. What in the world happened? Was it my white balance?? Argghh!

Nope. You're not wrong. Lots of images that entirely disregard the incredibly clear and specific challenge description. But then there are the voters who will do the same. Hey, take heart, it's only day #1!

I'm sub-5 and settling in in the 4.9 range. Considering the skill of some of the photogs that are stuggling with scores in this challenge, I'm getting a nasty taste in my mouth about it.

Not this many good photograohers should be looking at these kinds of scores.

It can't be a party all the time / every challenge ;)
And, said that, it's just a challenge. Next time better!
