Wow, I'd love to have 5 comments...a few others seem to have that number but I think that the average number is just 1. Wish it would be more:-(

My entry is still treading water just a tad above 6 and STILL only one comment - my guess is that many don't wish to venture into Sadness when much more attractive challenges such as Visual Puns are out there. :-( :-(

100 vote check in.
I still feel like there are a bunch of people who must not be posting their scores and are well above 6.
Cause otherwise, in comparison to what most people are posting in here, my score is really high.
And I doubt that.

After writing so many comments I will admit that they became more and more brief as I went along. I will try to go back and add to those that got short changed. There is nothing personal in my comments and I'm merely pointing out why it didn't resonate with ME. By no means does that mean it won't with others however, if my comment matches others received it might be an indicator. I would like the same in return rather than a "1" (IMO based on some bias or jealousy) so that I might improve with time. My vote was based on how the photo (alone, w/o title) impacted me in provoking sadness. I did not give anything below a 5 and base that on the fact that the photographer took the time to at least enter the challenge. I know it's a ten point system but it seems voting a 1, 2, or 3 only penalizes. I haven't found a photo yet that deserves to be penalized. A no-vote is a better option sometimes IMO.

And I thank you very much for the comment Don - I was able to see it from a different viewpoint as to why it was not resonating strongly.

Capturing the emotion of sadness (or any emotion) is tough - it may resonate strong with one group while another it does not.

What I would LOVE is more comments!!! My score is a head above 6 but I wish I had more than one comment:-(

CHALLENGE ALERT!!!

This weekend I pledge to find time to comment on at least 20% of the entries. I pledge to constructively say what the pro and cons of the photo is or why in my humble opinion the photo is good. The Sadness challenge needs more comment love.

Anyone else with me? [/quote]
