I have to say this was a fun challenge to do and also fun to vote on.
Some beautiful images in this challenge.

Some good entries, some poor ones a lot of average ones, mine included. While some are really impressing and seems that lots of effort went into and do look like a painting, some are just photos with a brush filter on it (mine sort of included into the last category)

Stats: You have rated 41 of 101 images (41%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.4634 and I might stop here...

With every vote that i receive (which is now 61), my score keeps changing by 0.01 either way. It's so frustrating!
But it's remained consistent, which i'm happy about!
When i have some time i'm going to look through the entries again and alter some scores and comment on some more!!

wow I finally had some time to look through the entries and there are some absolutely amazing images, lots of stuff I'd like to see at a much higher resolution. Great work folks, this is going to be a high scoring challenge I think!

As long as you are happy with your entry, it's all that really matters I say!


Oh for sure...I'm very happy with my entry and I was just joking when I said I'd go back and do some damage of my own. I,m not like that.


And I'm so glad, because you liked mine!! :)


And that makes me very happy too :)

Jeeesh dropping all the time ...now just above 6.0 at 52 votes and that's a drop from 6.7 in just 13 votes. Think I will have to go through the challenge again and do some damage of my own...revise all the scores I gave downwards...I probably gave scores that are way too high
;) evil hacking laugh

I don't vote in challenges I enter to avoid the temptation to low vote .... except the monthly bbecause if everyone didn't vote there will be No votes :)
05/18/2013 08:10:54 AM · #21
It looks like with every nice comment I post another vote comes in that torpedoes my score :(
Now down to 6,1 at 51 votes and at 42 votes I was still at 6.7
I notice the score also changes a lot without any additional votes so it must be voters that are constantly
revising the scores they gave downwards in the hope that it will boost their own image to a better position.
Or something like that....

Back in dpc after a year or more away. 5.6 ... reasonably OK for the quality especially given the amazing standards on this site. Didn't use a fancy paint filter... cooked it myself. Kinda feels like cheating to use a paint filter but that is so hypocritical of me... after all my favourite HDR program isn't written by me nor the Gaussian blur I used.

There are a lot of excellent believable "It was painted" images.
There are a lot of DMC but not truly believable "ART" works.
Mine is likely seen as part of the latter, not the former.

Have an open mind when voting, not all paintings are done with greasy oils on a textured canvas with a knife.
Some can be almost photographic...with a hint of paint.

3 x 10's, 4x 9's and 8x 8's (Might change still)

Stats: You have rated 101 of 101 images (100%) in this challenge.

I'm impressed with the overall quality of the images in this challenge. It's interesting to note that while many of the images do look like paintings, there are many that look more like graphic art. I wonder if the voters will show a preference?

My image is hanging just above 6 at the moment. I'll be pleased if it stays there til the end.
05/17/2013 01:24:36 PM · #25
Great images folks! I'm so glad that I didn't enter this. But it was sure fun to vote on.
