Uhmmm no I'd have to say my entry lacks the X factor. *muttering under breath* Far too many literalists on this site...


Or is it that there are far too many people that skate around the challenge description and aren't literal enough at times? Haha.


LOl........ are you being punished ???

Don't feel bad... I really dug my image and although it's now up to a whopping 5.1 and change, it's certainly not the crowd favorite or at least, "a small click" favorite I was hoping for.. I'm not into the literal X on the images so I won't vote, but it appears that's what the voters were looking for... Which is totally cool, just not my cup of tea... Definately some beautiful shots in there... Off to the next one..

well, not the 4s of some people, and not the high 6s of jeger.
had been at 5.7 and 5.8 yesterday and today -- but just had some harsh votes.

Aww I felt really good about this image, I was expecting to be in the high 5-low 6 range with this. I wish more people would comment and tell me what I could improve on, or what is lacking in the image.

Nice comments! It'll be interesting to see where this goes next.

Just dropped in some comments (about 50 of em) so Spiff hopefully I hit yours in there somewhere.

There are some really beautiful images in this bunch for sure. While I couldn't vote, I think I got the top 5 for sure.

Wow! that's a big drop...

Well, it's early in the game--if you were over 6, I'm sure you'll be headed back that way soon! :D

Me three!!! Yay! It's the only comment on that one, though. COMMENT, people, tell me what I did wrong if you're gonna give me a low score!

Speaking of low scores... how do you see your score distribution mid-challenge?

Use a spreadsheet. You can find one linked on Hawkeyelonewolf's profile page.

Only one comment from Neophyte who appeared to like it. Nobody explaining their sub 5 votes. I'm left to assume:

a)boring
and/or
b)too small or subtle an x, in spite being in a prominent location

Haven't had a vote for hours. Anyone else?
09/30/2009 04:10:49 PM · #63
I think one or two votes overnight and nada all day. Hanging out slightly under a 5. I'm having a lot more fun with my twisted entry.
09/30/2009 04:12:35 PM · #64
I've had one vote since 6:10 am
09/30/2009 04:25:35 PM · #65
Sorry!!!!
09/30/2009 05:06:31 PM · #66
Got one more vote and a critique that confirms what I had already figured out: My entry is boring.

Kudos go to the people that take the time to explain their low votes.

Do you think it is possible that a title could negatively effect a score? My title is really bad, due to brain overload with school work, and I think my score may be being voted lower because of that. It could be something else as well, but I'm just wondering if any believes that could be a potential cause. I sometimes vote up a picture if the title is clever, but normally I just rate the picture as is.

I think there may be a couple of people that vote down because of a title, but I'm guessing that they're few and far between. I think people realize that the title really doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the photograph. I definitely have voted up a photo because of a clever title that made me appreciate the photo a little more, but I've never voted down because of one.
