The majority of photos aren't as good as you think they are.

Not to argue, but as has been said many times, many ways (no, not "merry Christmas") but different folks have different scales for voting. personally I like to try to use the whole 1-10 range (although rarely less than a 3, and rarely more than a 7) so that for me an "average" photo in a challenge is approx a 5.5, the not so good ones are 3-4, the really good ones are 6-7, and of course the "going for the brown" type get less then 3 and the ones I think should be front page get the 8+.
It is really a matter of perspective. For some a potential front page only gets a 6, and for others the average photo gets a 7.... to each his/her own. :)

I am just plain, flat thrilled!
For the last two years I've been entering Free Studies and I never broke 6.0.
This is the second month in a row after my dry spell:

I hate it when I think I have a shot the DPC voters will love and then I get shot down!! LOL
I try to be DPC friendly, but its not working out for me.

I am so happy that my score is still rising. I never thought I would be so happy to be in the 5s. My photo is not DPC friendly so if I can hang in the 5s I will be happy. Please no 4. Now watch I probably have jinxed myself. I have two wonderful, honest comments and for that thank you very much. |

I'll admit.. I'm a little suprised.. I really thought my score would be a little higher than dead average. I've got cash for anyone willing to show a little love and give me a 10..
anyone??
