Was on a steady climb for a while. Got up to 5.85, then a handful of folks who didn't like it showed up. It's still early.

This is my first entry, it was so stressful to push the submit button! |
haha the update button can be even more stressful!!!
At 16 votes I have a lovely 4.42 - note to self "do not be coerced into entering challenges that you don't want to enter - follow your gut". |
OMG I see what you mean - it's crazy! |

The best part is â€Â¦ we can all watch your score - your 'average score' is updated live in your profile - and since it's your first - it's your average! =)

That's a good way for users to get an "update button" - they just need a spreadsheet to help "decode" the impact of new entries from old ones.

Yep 5.0.
But I see you beat a few big guns in your last two entries.

It goes down .03 points/hour consistently. It is painful.

Very happy with this score, much higher than I anticipated but this is actually the first time in almost 200 challenges entered I have more favorites on a shot in voting than comments :)

Nah - stick with it - after all, what do voters know anyway?

Don't. Scores supposedly reflect the photographer's ability, but remember they also reflect the amount of time and resource they have available to put into it.
Some have more than others. Myself, I have a full time (50+ hours/week) job, and a family. My time for photography is very limited. I don't really have access to any models (such as this shot that won another challenge recently //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=867395 ) nor do I have a lot of time to prepare shots.
This pretty much means I am stuck with landscape or still-life. I'd like to do more but lack the opportunity. But I can still enjoy what limited opportunity I do have (-:
Time to feel bad is if you spent a whole day on a photograph and gave it your all, and it gets trashed here. But even then, there's no accounting for taste. Remember most people on here vote within 5 seconds of seeing the image. At that speed, the only thing that matters for voting is the initial visual impact. I've even seen some photos score very highly that I personally struggle to see how they reflect the theme!
Bottom line - don't allow what others think to ruin your enjoyment. My entry into the current challenge is getting trashed. I don't care. I like the photo. I took it for myself. If other people like it, then great. If not - so what?!
If you're enjoying taking photos, stick with it. Look at some of the high-scoring entries on DPChallenge if you want to for inspiration, but don't let them take your mojo! |
