2Shay is correct. A voter must have challenged the validity of your photo based on the appearance of a rule violation. In that case, the site council reviews it and, in your case, must have validated your image without needing to consult you. |

Welcome!
I am also pretty new here, I have entered 3 challenges. I didn't enter the "In the Beginning" challenge, but I think I'm doing OK in the "Rubber Duck" challenge. It is hard to wait until the end of voting. Your score keeps moving around. You think you are doing good for a while, then it drops. Hopefully, it eventually will go back up. When a picture says it has been validated, it means that someone may have questioned the photo's editing or authenticity. There are rules as to what kind of editing can be done. If you suspect a photo has been edited outside of the guidelines, you can request that the photo be validated by the admins here. They will look at the photo, possibly ask for the original file from the camera, and make a determination. They will either disqualify it, or they will post that the photo has been validated. Hope that helps. I also just bought the Nikon D70. There is a lot of new stuff to learn on it. I just realized that I had the White Balance set to flash instead of auto. I couldn't figure out why all of my colors were coming out wrong. Anyway good luck with the challenge!

I decided I would try to comment on all of the entries in this challenge. Not because I think I know all there is to know about photography, look at my first 2 scores :-(, but because I would like to get some feedback for my own. In addition, by really looking at the photos and trying to give constructive comments, I am learning things about my own photo skills. I have just finished voting.
Details: In the Beginning...
Stats: You have rated 296 of 296 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 296 images (100%) in this challenge.
I think there were a lot of good entries in this challenge. I don't know if I will be able to do this on all challenges, it took a long time to go through them all. I may pick and choose challenges in the future to comment on all photos, but most likely I will try to make comments on the top and bottom 5%.
Anyone have a suggestion as to which ones to comment on if you don't have time for them all?

Normally they go up after the first day...
If I remember right this challenge was something like this for me
4 vote 6.75
10 votes 5.4xx
200 votes 6.1xx

It depends on the challenge and the image. I've had both happen. |

As an example - the winner of the last open challenge (bored) only got 26 comments during the challenge - and my shot is (at least judging by the score) very much a middle of the road image. Shots in the 5.5 range are normally the ones that don't get commented on at all ?! |

congrats justin, it certainly looks as if your going to get the blue ribbon, i can't wait to see who gets the ribbons, i can't beleive my score, i have nearly 400 hits and over 250 ratings and 10 excellent comments, and i am jumping all over the place between 6 and 5.7.... i just don't understand it, being new it will probably take me while to understand i suppose.....

I am so annoyed.. i just checked my comments and saw this..
what is this??????? come on??? not good a 1..
I do not understand this at all, no explaination as to why i got a 1.. and the person who gave it to me has never submitted a photo but has been a registered user for quite a while.. really i can understand a person giving me a 4 even a 3 but a 1? I only give 1's if the photo is horribly taken and pretty much non visable I honestly think this is someone who is attempting to bring down scores they might have thought would do well;...well they picked the wrong person i've been stuck at a 4 - 4.5 the whole challenge...
sorry for the rant

I think some people recognize your work and have decided to take some drastic measures to make sure you don't appear anywhere close to the front page.
I am having a rather odd experience too. Got 30 comments already, suggesting they all love it (a record for me), but the score isn't that impressive. |

Which is exactly why I like this site. =) You'll never be able to please everyone and not everyone will like or even think your shot is decent. But at least you have the chance to find out why, or how to appeal to a broader audience.
I look at it like this: $25 for a years worth of commentary, advice, creativity, challenging entertainment. Cost me $8 a person to see a movie for 2 hours =/ Thats not including popcorn! |

| roadrunner: 5.76 is actually a good score here and it will surely go up towards the end. |
