expected a better score than this but this seems to be the trend today...
Nice to see my better half is doing well though

What a horror show...
A lot of gratuitous tilting to explain the low scoring. I said in one of my usual rants that people have a tendency to do things in these technique Challenges but with no purpose. Here we have the perfect case in point.
There are going to be a lot of unhappy voters out there after they get slammed themselves, with a few 2s and 3s...
A lotta earthquake shots....bummer. |

Started with 5.2xx last night :(
this morning up to 6.32xx, plus two faves!
My tilt is pretty subtle...too subtle I thought. But maybe not... |

It's not a theory. It is fact. Recently, someone left lots of comments on a challenge such as "bad", "ok" and "crap", and a confusing comment on mine. I PM'd him after the challenge asking what he meant by his comment and that is when I learned he was on DPC for his photography class. He explained that he was doing as his teacher instructed and leaving comments. I offered him some suggestions for commenting that would also help him with his own photography, and told him I looked forward to seeing his own challenge entries. However, I was left with the impression that he had simply registered for an "easy" class an did not have a real interest.
The first time I encountered this was early '08, when an entry of mine got two nearly identical comments, 5 minutes apart, same camera, similar theme of usernames, same join date. I thought it was one person with two accounts. I notified SC and was told this was a high school photography class. Apparently, they were evaluating the entries together and posting the same opinion. I've noticed this several times since then I have periodically noticed handfuls of nearly identical entries that appear to have been shot in schools.
Oh, yes, gone up to something reasonable and an early fave was a treat for me!

just curious....have you guys noticed that our vote count is also up...we have been going over 200 votes of late whereby before it was 180ish...the class thing would explain alot of this... |

Now I can stop thinking "conspiracy theory!". Thanks for the validation :) |

I have to agree. I've not finished voting yet but so far I've been left thinking that quite a few shots would be better without the tilt and I've left comments where that has been the case.
As is customary, it's a shame that there are so few comments.

I'll be curious to see if I get any of those comments, since I think the visual impact of my entry was enhanced by the use of the tilt. Not everyone sees things to same way, so this will be interesting. |

Just got a validation request - explains why it is scoring so low; no one believes such a brilliant shot could be achieved in Basic ;-)

| I bet I know which brillant shot that would be! I thought it was a pretty ingenious way just to make people wonder. But maybe that's not it... :) |
