At least you know why they did poorly. That fountain at Exchange Square is very tough as the location is full of distrating elements (construction wall, blurred walking man....which you obviously liked but in fact distracted from the image). The fact that you overexposed the water on that long exposure also took away from it. Sadly, we just don't have many great fountain options in Hong Kong (with exception maybe of HK Park waterfall fountain). |

| I'd like to thank the last two extremely low voters for dropping me down .05 in two fell swoops. Thanks again. I was dangerously close to 6.7. *rolls eyes*. |

This is about where I expected to be, see what the next 12ish hours brings.

Fairly pleased with this, as it was an experiment with something new. :)

I pushed myself for this entry and I am happy that I did. I was out of my confort zone taking it and then entering it! That being said I am so happy I did! I have two great comments, one of which is a comment from Paul! I'm sitting at 5.79. I would do a cartwheel but the hospitals are busy enough!
Happy Sunday DPC! |

That is a perfect statement, and if everyone felt this way DPC would be a much happier place!
1. I didn't mean anyone in particular (and if i did they heard about it in their comments)
2. Anyone who receives a 4 or lower from me, gets a comment explaining why I voted that way (even if they don't agree they'll at least know why). All my top votes get comments as well. Folks in the 5-6 category typically miss out unless I have time...
3. Even on image with "same 'ol boring stuff" I judge partially based on its standalone merits
4. However, part of the fairness of this voting process is for the photographer to remain anonymous through the process and those whose images are instantly recognisable (intentionally or not) are ruining this system through biased voting (which in theory can go both ways...but typical human nature of admiration / envy / friendships suggests otherwise)
You have rated 199 of 199 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 40 images (20%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.3518.

Not sure if you meant me in particular (I guess there could be some others too) but it's not 2 years later. It's 3.
And for none of the reasons you suggest....just couldn't find anything else worthwhile enough to shoot and thought
it might be fun to try and improve on my previous effort and see how it does this time round.
But like I said...not sure if you meant me as you did not comment on my previous effort nor on this one :)
Afterthought...
