Too late.

Do what I plan to do - a vacation from challenges. Unless you're Irene, this place can really wear you down. Take some time off from challenges, keep shooting, then enter only those you find interesting. That's my plan, anyway!

I did. I stuck my head out of my shell only for someone to step on my neck.

Yep, I know that feeling - know that feeling VERY well.

My own score is much nicer than it was early this morning (late last night for the North American crowd), so as with my Periodic score, I'm pleased to see the antitroll crowd putting in their two cents worth.

I'm in the red challenge but just had to comment on this as it so rings true, I think you can realistically add .3 - .4 to current scores to get an idea of where you would have scored a few months back, I have just looked at the mirrors challenge and that had 130 entries of which only 15 scored 6+ I looked back and found one with the same entry tally (Woody II) which was before the DPCO started and that one had 44x 6+ scores. The average votes were 5.8 for woody II against 5.2 for mirrors which in terms of overall scores is a pretty massive difference IMHO.

I just think those that are not in the DPCO and are fretting about scores should consider taking a break until it is over as I know I would were I not participating. I sincerely believe there is some vote skewing going on and the thought of that makes me rather sad to be honest.

Mark, the previous version of the DPCO (Round II) was taking place during the Woody II challenge, so I don't really think you can draw any conclusions about the scoring based on what happened during August.

hahaha I saw the too.
I was going to leave a hasty comment saying how it didnt fit with the challenge, among 4 other entries, but I figured this person is hearing enough and probably kicking themself for entering in the wrong challenge. haha Poor guy

You have rated 182 of 188 images (97%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 2 images (1%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.8516.

5 photos I didnt vote because there wasn't one shred of the colour blue apart of the photo.
and the other, is mine.

I left quite a few 10s and 9s, and I will let you all know who when I get the time to comment.
Some really crisp and vividly blue shots out there.
Good work!

Just a reminder - it's against the rules to discuss photos during the voting phase.

5.77 and leveling off.

Oops - I really thought long and hard on whether to list it but figured it was for public view and thought it was okay. So sorry my mistake - guess, if you have to think twice about it you probably should just error on the safe side huh. My bad - I'll listen to my inner voice next time.
