OK,

Ja-9, I've hit double my original goal:

You have rated 151 of 382 images (40%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 82 images (21%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.9801

Need to get to at least 50% in voting soon, or I'll never get to see them all!

I didn't read the particulars.....they are not in a row.

I ain't done, I'll make it happen....

Once I did the first 38 in a row, then I just started commenting at will. The idea of "in a row" is to ensure a wider distribution of comments. And to teach the commenters to look a little longer - it's easy to comment on the "wow" shots but not so easy on the average shots. Those with the "wow" shots really don't need the comments as much. But every little bit helps!

This sounds like a great idea and a lot easier than trying to vote 100%, but ensuring that a variety of shots get comments no matter how good or bad they are. Gonna get started.

It is foremost that everybody be their own conscience. If some consider this a competition rather a challenge they could be diverted in to believing that it's my work against yours. Too me this is not so. Challenge your objective!

melethia ideas are to be commended and pursues impartiality. But, one problem...DIAL-UP. Since upping the pixel allowance to 800/300kb it would take me 3 hours to vote and comment on 38 submissions. I am all in favor of larger files. You all can understand my dilemma. I try to vote and comment as much as I can.
There is one advantage...i get a good look rather than dashing through at warp speed!

Im taking a break from voting just to say how jealous I am of those people who live in or close to these awesome scenic areas, or just happened to go on the perfect vacation this week. lol. Lots of stunning shots here.

Hey Janine - thanks for the insight on why mine is tanking! Very much appreciated.

I'll work on some more this afternoon. I'm enjoying the voting on this challenge, but then I'm a B&W gal at heart!

Yes, but it's still a better shot than a 5.0, I'll have you know... :-)

Woot! Good job, Brian! And thanks to all who are playing along in this challenge. Does take a bit of the annoyance off of those low scores, doesn't it?

I'm working on it. I'll get there. This has been a pleasure, by the way. Outstanding photos. And I've got voting turned off and won't know a thing until next Monday morning. It's so much better this way. Again, EXCELLENT photos. I'm averaging a 7 in scoring.

If I wanted to blame someone, I could blame myself, since I was one of the people that encouraged you to heavily comment. BTW, your profile page is getting top heavy with comment club bling. I think it's about to implode.
