I am occaisionally surprised by the voting in site challenges, sometimes for the better and sometimes not.
I must admit that I thought that my entry for the recent Pink Floyd challenge would have done better than 46th place...
Interested on feedback on why this 'bombed'
Thanks
Chris

6.0 is far from a 'bomb'.

I think one thing that may have hurt you is changing the title to fit your pick. duck side instead of dark side. I didnt vote in this challenge but one DPCer complained to me about a title tweak like yours. may have been yours specifically. I dont know. but I know it was a sore spot for at least one DPCer so maybe for more.

Thanks....
Regarding the title.... I changed my mind a couple of times about using the pun in the title..
I originally just called it 'Any Colour you like' which fits both the challenge and the pick...
Good point... I guess it doesn't pay to try and be clever!

| Another mitigating factor is it seems there are some dpc voters don't like centered compositions in general, except if that's what the Challenge calls for. ;>þ |

I could not agree more! Duckies and Woodies are almost as overdone as bi-color glass reflection shots.

you mean refraction? i typically try not to have many if any reflections on the glass.

Yeah. Fat little fingers type faster than the fat little head thinks.

any mark above 6 is far from a bomb!
I think the fact that this had nothing to do with the floyd, apart from the pun in the title, it scored a tad lower than you expected. |

Hell, I wouldn't have expected more than a mid-5 from a ducky shot. That says a lot about the technicals of this shot that it made it into the 6's.

Thanks for the feedback... 'Any Colour you like' is a Pink Floyd track from arguably their best ever and most well known album Dark Side of the Moon....
I think the pun may have caused voters to miss this... and of course the use of the duck...
