LOL Karen. My score has actually gone up 0.1 in the last 2 days! That's pretty hard after 7 days of voting.

Sorry that yours has gone down. Don't worry, the vote scrubber will give you a higher score in the end!

I am at 181 votes & there are some tough voters out there now.

42 minutes to go. Oh please don't drop below 6.0
It's been hovering between 6.0 - 6.2 for the past 2 days. Before that it was around 5.7 and slowly crept up to go over the 6.0 mark.

This is going much better than I originally expected it would... but hopefully I haven't jinxed myself!

Also for some reason now, none of my comments are showing up... weird...

No comments yet. Maybe my picture is one of those pics you feel something is wrong but don't know exactly what it is, or maybe it's just so bad you don't know where to start...

At an all time low score since I started entering challenges.
My pic definitely meets the from the ground up criteria but I don't think
it has been accepted in the humorous manner in which it was intended.
Only three comments, so far, but would really like to hear some constructive
views on the actual shot and why it is being rated so low.

Point zero two from a personal best. Yes that needed to be spelled out like that. :)

I really want to hold onto the 6.5 so I can get 5 challenges in a row in the 6.5+ score range. If I can scrape a top 10 I will have 5 top 10s in a row too. I have found consistency the hardest thing to achieve on DPC so I'm hoping I'm getting closer to it.

At least you received a comment. I'm still waiting for one. Over 90 votes, score barely over a 4, and 0 comments. I would love to get some critical feedback.


Maybe I'll just comment. That way I can cause more havoc and discord.

...and stuff.

Oh, please vote then. Mine is definitely a ground up perspective, so I just know it would be one of the few you'd give a good score too :) Pleeeeeeeease ????? (I'm just teasing you. You don't have to vote if you don't want to :)

Hmm....good point. I may end up voting. Who knows... (well I guess I do)

I understand and agree completely -- however, since I rarely give less than a 4 (even for DMNC), I'm still going to vote. There are some that don't meet it exactly, but still meet the spirit of it. There are many that just don't get it. In those type of challenges, I think it's even more important to vote--it's really irritating for people to get beaten by a shot that in no way meets the challenge.

"This one" being the challenge and not your particular shot. Yours is that one with the thing and the do-dad and its composed using the rules of thirds? :)

as for why I am not voting? (May as well spill the beans here) In my mind, the challenge is about using a "ground up" perspective. Many of the shots don't really do this in my opinion and it really looks like a Free Study in my opinion. If it were only a handful I'd be voting and handing out DNMC comments. But with so many? Maybe my point of view is too narrow. As such I am abstaining from voting.

Dance my little puppet! :)

I actually haven't voted on this one and I am still debating whether I will or not.
 06/25/2009 02:23:11 PM · #24
Ok, I just dropped .06 without a change in the number of votes -- so basically someone moved me from an 8 to a 1. Either someone clicked a 1 by accident, or they're playing mind games with me.

Nope. Not that you should worry anyway. I couldn't possibly keep track of everyone who's told me what's wrong with my pictures! hahahaha
