...it will be called LIFE and how to SCORE it!

Ha ha, just got my first vaguely rude comment. I guess some people need to have the challenge subject RIGHT IN THEIR FACES in order to agree it fits with the challenge.

I just got a criticism-only comment. Sure, it's helpful, but "you did _____ well, though" would've made it 100x better. Now all I can think of is "_________ is why your image sucks. there is absolutely nothing good in it." c'mon people, part of the "constructive" element is a little encouragement!

If it is, I'll consider forgiving you.... maybe....

I feel it's important to leave a comment explaining any low votes, and I sometimes think those explanations may come off as rude or harsh.

I think you should add the score you gave it, and what the photographer did well. It makes you seem nicer, and though you may be pushing it with the compliment, adding the score makes you seem more honest/open, too.

I've been gone a while.

My entry sucks, but it's not my fault. OK it's my fault, but it's not my fault that it's my fault. OK, that's my fault too. But I'm not OK with that.

My entry was definitely alive when I took the shot. That should count for something.

Honestly, and all kidding aside, I entered this challenge after the news that Jon passed

jonfrommk. I didn't have much to work with, but it made me feel better to get back into it - don't really know why.

You have commented on 77 of 200 images (39%) in this challenge

I'm going to comment on all 200 over the next few days.

I have really gone into a lot of detail with my comments too, I'd say 90% of them are a good few sentences or so.

Feeling a little cheated... ONE sentence!

But it was a good comment and very much appreciated.

You left a fairly detailed one on mine, with only a moderate (and probably right) nitpick, which falls under the category of "it is what it is."

Thanks for the commenting effort.

This week is crazy busy for me but I think I need to make at least a quick run through the entries; with all the faves being handed out there must be some really good stuff in there!

Whelmingly dreadful: four point zero something. I have been on the downward path since my latest posthumous award, just as he predicted. (I may stick a pin in my all purpose woodie).

Hmm I could be in for a Pug-Pasting here. Could still go up or down though, I'm keeping the faith.

I'll clean you out on Best of 2008 though - fo' shiz.
