Half of the comments have been negative but at least they are leaving comments! Now off to write some nasty PMs... :P

The two comments were very lovely and whilst the score may not be to everyones liking it suits me just fine and may even end up hitting my front page |

 Yanko looks like you and I are doing the tango - my score has been swinging between 6.61-6.67 all day. |

nice score catherine - I am squandering again in the 5.6-7 area. I guess my choice should have been to not enter!

Sigh, ya know it is hard NOT to get discouraged with an middlin' 'average' score especially since I worked my *bleep* off on the photo and tried my hardest to stay within Advanced Editing. I know it is early in the game but I STILL have *0* comments to offer me a clue as to what is not connecting with the voters nor how to improve.
Turning off scores now. What will be will be I guess. |

Second time above 6, last time it didnt last. Hopefully This will. I was pretty excited to see this when I woke up this morning. |
This one didnt last either :( I am down near a 5.89 now. I was up to a 6.2 at one point but have taken a beatin in the last 10 votes and I am down over 2 tenths. That totally stinks, dont know why I am getting such stinky scores from the last 10 people and good from everyone else...
Oh well maybe third time will be the charm when it comes to me and 6's

Seems to me that the winning score is usually 6.9 - 7.4 (ish) no matter what the challenge is.
I wonder why (in a challenge like this) where there are so many great 9 - 10 shots, we will see a winner with about a 7.2 - 7.4 score.
It seems that DPC voters treat each challenge separatly and vote in a way that the winner will always be at about the 7 range.
I feel that there have been winners in the last year that IMO should have gotten scores of 8 - 9.xxx instead of 7ish.
Does this make sense? On average, is a 7 THE BEST? What type of shot would be worthy of a 9.xxx finish?

I doubt that a 9.xxx score will ever happen. Only if all the voters here all of a sudden got the same taste in pictures (and God forbid that) a thing like that would be possible. |

This does not happen, the reason is people usually reserve 9 or 10 for their best few shots (may be 5-10 out of 500), now if most of them are very good shots this list of 5-10 such entries will vary very much from person to person, and you will end up 7.X winner. Think about it.
My shot which is at 6.5 could have been a winner in any other challenge, but when it is put against so many of very good entries, it could not score 7+, because many people may find others better than it. |

I'll just smile for now on the free study.
We'll see if he is just fast out of the gate at PPC and ends up a slug,
kinda like the bear dude.
Well, at least bear has a reason - he's ancient. haha - Hi Robert!
I know he doesn't have a chance if he entered working without a net. |

Mediocrity defined. Middle of the pack score and no comments. After 50 votes, I've never had no comments. What's up with that?

I cannot begin to express how many ways I have no sympathy whatsoever for you being annoyed about *ANY* 7+ score.......8>)

But today is not opposite day. So instead of your score going up, it will go down. |

Can we start having a minimum IQ requirement before people are allowed to vote? |
I think I got your commenter too, I hope he or she goes back and looks at whose work he said what to. A little shocked. |
Hmmm, my baghead commenter withdrew his/her comment. My score is pushing 5.9. |
So did my baghead. Hmmmm. Guess I'll withdraw my comment then... with reservations. |
