I am kind of surprised...no, I really am QUITE surprised...that I got a "doesn't meet the challenge" comment on my chocolate entry. I'm befuddled. Is chocolate, and its variations (color, texture, etc.) cultural? I thought chocolate would be more or less universal. I guess I thought wrong! LOL

I have stabilized from the overnight roller coaster and am fairly stable at 5.82 with 79 votes. This will be interesting, indeed! :o)

Second worst for me. That's ok, I knew it wasn't the greatest. I just wanted to submit after the hours of work I did getting this picture, average as it may be.

If you look at the voting page and one of the images shows up as an "X" (didn't load correctly) does that mean it DQ'd?

No, I think that probably just means a broken link. It should get fixed soon if that's what it is.

I agree that it was difficult to make the chocolate look good. There's lots of imperfections in chocolate! You've gotta wonder what's in the chocolate when it doesn't melt under hot lights.

I know what you mean! I had a hair dryer on high pointed at my chocolate trying to make it melt so it would look shiny, it took forever to even affect some of the commercial chocolates (homemade/candy shop stuff worked much better). I eventually had to rethink my photo based on the meltability of chocolate :)

I hope it stays there!!! I only found out in this challenge the difference between cooking chocolate and the other stuff - ummm - - the other stuff doesn't really melt!!! Just kinda goes chunky and dry!!! It was 10:30pm and the shops were closed too - luckily we found some expensive button chocolates which I was able to melt.

My score is hurting pretty bad. lol I didn't even get an idea for my pic until the last hour. So I had to rush. I think it turned out pretty well considering :)

Most food for commercials and advertisements are plastic. There's companies who all they do is mimic real food with plastic. Other companies who use real food, go through most likely hundreds of burgers (or what have you) to get a single shot.

My wife certainly has as she has dropped from 6 to 5.6 and I've remained stable at 5.1-5.2

If I judge on how it is scoring, it's not doing well. Just barely holding onto 5.1. But, if I judge by how much I learned from my first shot of this type and the great comments i've received.. its a winner :)
07/25/2004 09:38:20 AM · #68
Mine has gone down in the last couple days too -- from 6.4 to 6.1. Still doing better than I think it deserves!
07/25/2004 09:58:52 AM · #69
Since midweek my pic has gone from 6.3 to 5.4. My "Balance" pic, which I would consider a much weaker image, has been steadily going up though. It's currently at 5.3.

I'm surprised that some people are saying that they're getting their all time lows. I have voted higher on this challenge than I have on most. There really are some amazing photos in this challenge. I'm working on voting/commenting on every single picture.

Bittersweet. Only at 5.42, but I learned my lesson. I fully intend to make up for this score in the Album Cover challenge...
07/25/2004 04:03:27 PM · #72
compared to all these replies, crap......

this should have been called the 'hershey's challenge
07/25/2004 04:13:12 PM · #73
Just go comment on the chocolate pictures...
I've been slideing upp wards with every comment...

Got 14 comments so far - The comments I'm getting are very nice, thank you all who have left a comment.
07/25/2004 04:16:45 PM · #74
Well I *was* stable around 6.4 but have dropped in the past few days to barely above 6.0... I was really hoping to end above 6, but at this rate...
