I went up a little bit. This is a tough crowd. But I'm pretty sure I have figured out the top 3. And I'm FAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRr from it!

If it was a portrait of the animal (not just a snapshot) I gave it just as much consideration as the ones of people. It was not a "natural light portrait of people" challenge, lol.

In retrospect, I should have scored yours higher (only gave it a 6, I think it should be an 8).

But chloe's was one of my top 2 (gave out 2 9s and no 10s). I love that shot.

Thanks for the cheer up Krafty1..


Probably the same ten people who gave me ones. My guess is that they did not consider animals as portraits. I finished at the 22nd percentile. Didn't even make it to a five. Those who commented had nice things to say. I think both our shots are better than our scores suggest. I am accepting mine (reluctantly) and moving on.

Pets don't fare well. Neither do figurines/knick-knacks.

The rule that says your shot must be a lot like what the voter thought it should look like. ie... don't go against the collective consciousness. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

I thought submitting an animal portrait would do a tad better but it looks like all of the animal portraits picked up quite a few 1's; almost double digits for each animal portrait. The best of the animal portraits was ranked 173rd (good job chloe noel)

Note to self: Don't submit animals to future portrait challenges unless the work "animal" is specified in the title.

Back to your vote monitoring...


I think it's great to see some pats on the back from fellow DPCers. Woot!

Do only memebers have access to that?

You can put your score and number of votes in that spreadsheet and then you'll see the vote or the average of the votes.
Individual votes are hard to get when not a member because you can't update every second ;)
