Come one someone, please bump me up by .0030, that will put it at third on my profile page. It's been up hanging over 6.4 all week then yesterday dropped all day to a 6.33, then back up to this. Hoping to see it go up some more today.

Not much change over the past week. I'm hoping to reach at least a 4.5 though :D. The number of views are pleasing.

Whew! I thought I'd never get up to 200 votes... pic is pretty much doing the same. It would be nice if I could keep the 4.5 though.

Thanks for your kind words. I'll try and start a new thread :)

Here are my first two:

- Scored 5.2

- Scored 5.3

The comments from other DPC'ers gradually helped me improve.

To be fair, I didn't know what to expect. This was my first entry ever, so I can't be disappointed. I'm glad I am still above 5.

First entry was Textures II and a whopping 4.2434


Things did get better though, just did Textures V with 6.2874


Like your attitude and if you stick with it things will only get better ;)

And I thought I had it bad. Thanks for letting me know, makes me feel much better. Perhaps DPC should require that people pass a color blindness test before they are allowed to vote.

You have to remember that all monitors are not set properly. What one sees over another can vary greatly. If you're getting comments like that often it may be your monitor settings. If you only get those comments once in a while it may be the voters monitor. At any rate check your Gamma and calibrate your monitor. Then all you need to worry about is folks that haven't calibrated yet. You'll be set for most of us anyway.

So that's my problem! I assumed the voters would appreciate some nice subtle yellow colors, especially if the title brought attention to the yellow parts of the photo. I guess I should have known better than to submit something that is less yellow than a ripe banana. So when is Yellow V? I'l put in my banana order now.

Score ~4.6

Mine's definitely yellow, but one of my comments told me I should have used a different color ROFLMAO

I don't understand it, great positive comments but hovering around 5.3. I thought it is a great studio pic. I tried to do everything right this time round. Expected nothing less than 6 as I believe that this is the best entry I've ever made. Come on... What do I have to do to impress?!?

No, it's the difference in people. Everyone has different taste, different level of photo knowledge and different motives and will to write comments.

Is it just me or is there *so* many snapshots in this challenge? I can't remember when was last time my mouse pointer constantly hovered over scores 3 and 4. :(

There are also some very lovely shots that dont have any yellow as such, brown , orange and brassy are not yellow to me
