Off to a good start as usual but that only means it will end up at around mid five’s when voting ends. Legs (ARCHIVAL)

6.33. I think the generous voters are in early.

Yup. I was excited that mine was going over well, but it looks like we have happy voters. :)

I’ll take my perfectly average 5.5 after my book cover disaster.

Yep as I expected....the low voters have arrived so now the score will slowly drop to around 4.8-5.5 as always
1 nice comment though.

Against my better judgement, but one of those numbers are incorrect or made up.
9 * 6.8 = 61.2
It has to approximate a whole number, which the product doesn't.

I rounded it off ... it was 6. Something in the 7’s can’t remember the exact figure.... why the intricate exercise to go and calculate whether what I reported tallies???

Every score thread the same complaints appear repeatedly. It's tiresome.
And intricate? Point eight times nine is obviously not a round number.

Gee golly! I love so many of those leg photos!

Wow, peeps! Y'all really packed them in!

So sorry...just starting to think my photo's suck.....if my score thread is tiresome why bother to read it?

Hardly ... you seem to consistently score in the 6+ range -- many of us (me anyway) are happy to get a six anytime.

I enter what I want and don't worry about the score (much), but when I do I've found (about 18 years ago) that if I add about 1.3 points as a "DPC Voter Correction Factor" the scores feel much more reasonable.

Sure Gen E I understand you and like your attitude and photo entries and appreciate them but I am ill and depression is my constant companion and so when someone like Venser suddenly decides to get on my case it does bad things to my psyche.....

I didn't mean to pile onto you or anyone, but I was merely pointed out the original votes and numbers didn't add up.
It's more about the complaint still being in the 6.8 range, a score that would have won a dozen of the last fifty or so challenges. And remember, this is a subjective endeavor. You're asking random strangers for feedback on your entry. Not everyone is going to align with your tastes and vision.

Never thought about it like that actually...will try a different approach and not let scores get under my skin so much...actually not even doing too badly with this challenge for a change :)

I quite understand -- try applying my recommended correction factor to your score (increase to 1.6 points if topic requires out-of-the-box approach) and see if you don't feel better.

I actually figured 5.8 on this one, but I thought it might draw some comments

I've improved, too. 5.5 to 5.7 (with a dip to 5.4 in between). I'll take it.
08/27/2020 12:51:04 PM · #25
Mine dropped significantly. Three votes totalled 12. I assume it was a one, a five, and a six.
