Even more awesome! I ended up dropping down to 6.13 before the competition and hour ended. FML.

No it's the last minute, gotta get my 20% quota, can't bother with looking at entries more than .0000001 of a second "Slaughterhouse 5" voters that are out. Ugh! Ya, I agree, go away!

Yup, I dropped from a 4.7 something to a 4.65 --

Hey there and thanks for the warm welcome :)
I wasn't really expecting 400 entries, but it's a great opportunity to see how others think on the same subject and what ideas they have. To be honest, the photo i entered with isn't really the greatest piece of art out there, but that's why I'm here - to watch and learn :)

This will be fun, good luck to you too.

Hi there, first post and first challenge i'm taking part of.

Currently around 4.45, i don't think the pic is that bad, and only got 4 comments, all of them either positive or with advice on how to improve. Hope i get at least 4.5 until the voting finishes and some constructive comments as well. I'm gonna do my voting tomorrow, have an exam in 20 hours :D


Hi, welcome to DPC

You've picked a difficult challenge to start in with more than 400 entries. People find it hard to score them all never mind comment on them so you aren't doing that bad really. After the challenge has finished, try posting your picture in the forum with a request for comments, there are usually quite a few people willing to help. Good luck.

I wish the score was higher, but I am happy with all the comments I have so far.

My score keeps creeping up towards 4, then falling back down. I think I'm getting high marks from people who see what the subject is, and low from people who don't. ;-)


Isn't it funny when you have a low score like that how you are THRILLED with every 4 vote! :)

i am doing the same thing I have gotten more than a few really low scores, like 2s and 3s with no reason, so i am going back and making a comment on anything under a 5 and on the ones i consider favorites. My voting is based on emotion, these pictures should make me feel calm, relaxed, quiet. When I close my eyes to go to my "special" place is this the picture I might see in my mind. Then I vote and comment.

How absolutely boring. My score has been stuck at a constant bleh-ish 5.3 and my comments have been stuck at 2 since the start of voting.

4.6 here.
Lowest score I've seen in 3 years. From the 4 comments, it seriously DNMC and people are seeing the total opposite of the zen-like image that I thought it portrayed. Yay! Maybe I'll get my first brown. :b

Thanks, Ron. I looked there but didn't see it, but now I do. You've shown me the light. ; )

No way this is a sub 5 shot...

Same here.
I've already got 3 comments (all positive) and after 99 votes I'm stuck at 4.5. This is clearly far from my worst picture so it must be the DPL agressive votes...

Go to my home> my prefrences> and untick the box next to.

Show scores and comments for my submissions during voting week.

Then click save.

That should turn off your scores.

Ah, yes, the not-quite-crap score of 5.000 is finally in view. See, it really IS a pretty nice shot...doesn't shout ZEN!...but then, Zen is not supposed to be shouted, is it?
