Morning (EST) came with, apparently cranky voters and, low scores.
But I got a nice comment...

Yup. Makes scoring them pretty challenging!

I see that most of the scores are moving straight down this morning.

Still above my average, and one nice comment.

Started with 10 after 1 vote and felt all elated. But reality soon came along and I'm heading for the bottom of the heap once again by the looks of it with a current score of:
Straight II

"Details: Capture an image that includes only straight lines."

surprised at how few images follow this rule

OK Maybe I didn't follow the challenge as closely as I had thought. My score is still my personal worst but it is better than it was this morning. )-:

I also think it had an unfair level of difficulty compared to "Capture an image that includes curved or twisted lines."

The other challenge is much easier to meet based on description. Don't know why the mismatch. I had originally entered this one, but swapped it out before rollover for a twisted entry instead.

This was my first challenge submission ever. I liked my picture, but apparently 23 people giving me a 4.9130 don't. And except for some clouds in the sky, every line in my shot is straight.

I'm hoping, as I'm seeing other scores being reported, that this is an abnormally low-scoring challenge and that my 4.9 is not *that* bad (relatively speaking).

Mostly though, I'd prefer that people who give "bad" scores leave a comment as to why it was so bad. That way, I can improve. I didn't join this community to get into a urine projectile contest... I'm entirely new to photography and I want to get better.

Patience. If you don't get enough guidance from the people that do leave comments then you can always post the image in the forums and ask for additional critque.

Why did i have to get up this morning.... at least the first vote made for nice dreams. No comments yet, but wondering if I will get hit with "Lack of a strong subject" since the challenge is for ONLY straight lines. quite a quandary.

Thanks Five_Seat. I don't mean to be petty or complaining... just a rude awakening for a first submission. ;)

I think you all LIKE giving out "low" scores, dontcha? It makes you feel good, dunnit? Come across an image that may or may not be "wow", and is open to interpretation on the challenge topic, and you're like "Yes! I can give this a crappy score! I HATE giving out 8's and 9's! I'm happier giving out 3's and 4's!" Right? Right??!?

Yeah what is with the 3's and 4's?!

What ever happened to 5's and 6's?

My guess is it other challengers in the challenge. "no one is gonna beat me, cause I am gonna give them all low scores, and my submission is better anyways"


09/30/2009 04:04:29 PM · #43
I gave you all low scores and I'm in the other challenge. Bwaaaahaaahahaha!!!!

tastes here have changed...

(Just kidding.)

There were some very good interpretations of the challenge, some average ones, and some where the photographers need to keep in mind that just meeting the challenge won't net a good score. You also need to make the picture interesting. Now what constitutes "interesting" is very subject, I understand.

You have rated 111 of 111 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 41 images (37%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.7027.

We are the DPC. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

You didn't leave a comment for me! Does this mean you gave me a low score?
09/30/2009 04:12:27 PM · #50
Oh. I'm a baghead. I meant to turn that off - I was sorta playing around with my settings while turning off and on my scores... If I go turn it off, will it then show my comments as me? And by the way, I did comment on all my "low" scores, but I'm a softy and don't usually score anything much below 4.
