Very unhappy morning people. I turned my score off, I dig my shot too much to be bashed over the head this week! ;)

And, when exactly do you have breakfast? I'm at 4.9 right now with a shot that imho fits the morning challenge. No, its not a 'breakfast' shot its a Morning shot. I'll bow down to all the DNMC voters that don't get up till the afternoon to eat breakfast so don't understand ;)

I understand that breakfast takes place in the morning, so do showers and newspapers and rush hour etc etc etc. The point is that there were a LOT of breakfast shots and they made me think FOOD not MORNING.

Jason, I'm not having a personal dig at you, if you were in the minority then that would be the norm but it would appear yours is the common consensus. Using your thought process it would be impossible to take a shot reflecting 'Morning' what would be a good way to reflect morning to you? or anybody else for that matter.

That said, In lawn I had a comment stating there was too much grass! that shot ended on the right score imho and was suprised it finished so high (33/151 with a 5.8).

Have you considered that perhaps folks were trying not to do the stereotypical "morning sun" kind of shot?

I had, instead they all went for the stereotypical Breakfast shot. ;-)

Again, some astounding votes.

I took an 8 that raised it up to 5.350. The very next vote was a 1, that dropped it to 5.2787, with NO COMMENT! Here, it SUCKS OUT LOUD, but I won't take the time to tell you why. Amazing...

I don't know about you, but if I ever give something a 1 it must be REALLY shitty, and I think I would have to leave a cussing to go with it, for the owner of such a disaster.

Hi hear ya, however, its mandatory to receive 2% of your votes as a 1 - especially for ribboners! That said I do receive 10's on images that quite frankly deserve no more than a 7 ;)

I think that is generalization.

Did you see the smiley? ;-)

That meant it was a joke.

There was a heavy breakfast percentage however you choose to look at it. Seemed like more so than in the first Morning Challenge.

Well if you can't do a "morning sun" shot and you can't do a "breakfast" shot, what can you do? Trust me, you do not want to see a pic of me in the morning with bed head!!

I just looked at the Morning II challenge. Of the 154 entries, 32 were food still life photos!
08/07/2008 03:21:13 PM · #69
And over 40 were sunrise type shots, so what?

Turned on scores to see if my FS was doing OK (I suppose it is, but I'm still kinda disappointed). My Morning is at a lovely 4.9, thankyouverymuch! Edit to add that won't be a personal worst. Or even a second worst. And I'm thinking of entering Woody, so there's a very fine chance I could have multiple fours in the same month! Woo hoo!

Seems scores are dropping today. Lost 0.3 going from 70votes to 88.
08/07/2008 08:29:16 PM · #73
In the last 14 votes I dropped .1 and came back up to .08 above. But with my first vote being a freakn "2" I'm just happy its above my avg now. And my morning shot now has more votes then my fallen shot!? go figure!
