The vote tabulation software does not currently recognize the possibility of a tie. If there is in fact a "true tie" (there are "false ties" where the scores are the same to 3 decimal places but break down further out), the images will have consecutive rankings, though the order in which they appear is essentially random. This does happen, mostly toward the middle of the pack where the scores run very close together.
It is possible to manually correct this by editing the "place" field in the database for a particular entry; however as a matter of practice we do not do this unless a ribbon is involved. So far as I know, the only time this happened was in the Literalisms challenge (Challenge 157). In that challenge, two red ribbons were awarded and there was no yellow.

It took me until today to take the pic. I wanted to upload something, as it has been a few weeks.
Hopefully, this will end my recent lack of ideas.
Thanks for the comments

One more bump. I appreciate Laurie's input -- is there any other or am I barking into the wind?? lol |
I think I would have scored it a 5. It is very amusing, and I like the frame filled as it is. I think it would have had an average score around 5+ -- the reason not higher, is that I think people scored a little lower for signs, walls, storefronts written out (from what I have read in the forums), and it doesn't have really bold coloring that grabs people going through quickly. Hope this is somewhat of a helpful answer.

...well, I don't know what I would have given it, being that I have never seen a crapbook store before... LOL ;o)
Actually, it's pretty cute considering the whole memory thing going on there. Maybe a 6? Thanks for sharing it! :o)

well, dont look at it like you are taking crappy pictures. everyone is different, so just because you think its bad doesnt mean others think that way....maybe its possible that you're learning and you dont even realize it...:)

| I really was not all that impressed with the picture I submitted, but it's sitting at a comfortable 6.7 right now.. Hmmm.. I really thought the pictures I've submitted in the past were far better than this one. Maybe I should start taking what I think are crappy pictures and everyone else will like them ;) |
