| My score just plummeted by more than half a point in less than a day too. A lot of mean spirited people voting today it seems. I haven't been participating here long, but when I see high sixes and low sevens on a scale of ten winning challenges that tells me things are out of whack. Maybe they should make voters complete a voting tutorial before being allowed to vote and I think giving a score of less than four should not be possible without first placing a comment as to why a low score is being given. There is really no joy here with things as they are now. |

Yeah or a pop-up menu that appears when you click lower than 5 giving you quick choices for reasons why you voted it down like, underexposed, focus is soft, DNMC, etc. Just a thought. |

There will always be people who will vote down on an image. Even if it's a beautiful shot, people might vote it down. It might be because they are in the same challenge and feel threatened by your submission, or it might be because your photo looks completely different to them than it does to you. Different screen calibrations etc'.
I do like your idea of a comment being required for anything lower than a specific value, but I think that it has been suggested before but never put in effect... Who knows, maybe it's being worked on...

Seems about everyones scores dropped around the same time. Either the early voters were generous, or the more recent voters had a bad Thankgiving (for the Americans at least)
As for commenting....that subject has been done to death regarding compulsary comments etc etc etc.......Especially with a challenge with high number of entries (like this one) you are not going to get as many comments as a challenge with under 100 enties. Commenting takes time.........To comment on 239 pictures (especially comments with detail, as people will whinge about the quality of comments as well) takes a lot of time..........
Also, a hint for those complaining about lack of comments, please take some time and comment on photos in the challenge.
Some happy pills for the weekend voters we hope

My score is in the toilet again. (4.07) Hey, that might make for a great challenge. “In the toilet.” No? Well, how about a country and western song then? “Stuck in the toilet again, oh I’m stuck in the toilet again. The whole world is rigid and, I’m getting frigid, I’m stuck in the toilet again”.

I was out of my element in this challenge for sure. Comments would probably help. |

DPC has its very own Ernest Tubb ;]
Now you got me singing...
I'm walking the floor over you
I can't sleep a wink that is true
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
I'm walking the floor over you

How do comments work?
Voters are highly encouraged to leave comments on photographs. During voting, simply type your comment in the space provided, and then click your vote. You may adjust your comments later.
After voting, you can add more comments on the photograph and see what others said about the photograph as well. As this site focuses on learning, please keep all comments constructive. Try to help the photographer with comments like how to improve the work or how to make it more appealing. Leaving comments also helps your own photography skills, as it teaches you to look at your own work more critically. |

You will have to wait until the challenge is over, then go back to your submission's page and view the voting scale.
I also recommend checking out the DPC Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet voting analysis which can be found, Here. Thanks to  L2 |

Seriously, the best way for all of you who complaining about the lack of comments, is to comment yourself. If all of you comment on photos, hopefully you will manage to comment one of the other photos that someone is complaining about........ |

Well after feeling sorry for myself over the last few days (on target for my personal worst), I just finished voting and commenting on tis challenge. Wow! There are some simply stunning images in this one, and in comparison, I understand my 4.5 :)
One image in particular is a standout (10 from me, and the next one was an 8). Pity I don't think it'll score well with the majority.

I appreciate the comments people.
But telling me to dodge and burn would be better, when that would be illegal? Hell, I could make the shot 10x's better looking had I had the chance to use some editting techniques, I think I know that already.
Or how about saying the subject I chose is odd/weird. Like come on people, open your friggin minds. The challenge is Backlighting. So the only thing which should be predetermined in any of the challenge photos is that it is backlit, other then that any subject to include in your composition is more then accepted.
frig, I am really getting annoyed right now.
