I thought it was leveling out safely above the 6 level. Then it began dropping. I better post this quick, it may be the last I see it above 6:

Guess I chose the wrong photo though it was what I thought was my best so perhaps I just need to improve. Would be nice to get some feedback though which is after all why I am here in the first place:)

Someone just nailed me with 3! Not just a personal opinion here, but this is NOT that bad a photograph...even for a FS! I am starting to think the self proclaimed know-it-all voters are not even worthy of people entering anymore. There is nothing learned from this! And if it's one of the new, "I have my OWN voting scale, but expect you to use yours and give me high marks" voters, that is also ridiculous! Membership coming up for renewal and SERIOUSLY thinking it's a waste of time based on the voters here. I understand a mediocre shot and getting voted down...heck, I have recently had two challenges that barely finished above a 4 due to stretching the subject matter for the challenge. I'm fine with that and expect it, but this is a *expletive, expletive* FS!


Is it time to head to the bar?

I just got nailed again, and now down by 0.3 in the last 6 votes.

Same here and I can ill afford it!lol

Well, I just gave all the landscapes a 1 :-) So far, so good. For the record, that represents 29% of the entries, plus probably a tad more, since a few of them I have consulted on so I don't vote those. The rest of you landscapers, fear not! I'll be adjusting you within a day or two :-)


So if your image is a landscape image and you feel like shooting someone (with a firearm) relax: relief will be forthcoming as I rank the landscapes against themselves :-)

Meanwhile, back at the farm, I'm about to give 2's to all the animal shots (including birds and insects) so those of you who did THOSE, don't panic. I'll take care of you too before voting closes.

Have a nice week :-)

Wow, i'm surprised. I haven't entered anything in literally years and it was at a 4 when I went to bed last night so this makes me a bit more optimistic about the site again :)

But that doesn't help those of us who posted neither landscape or animal/bird/insect!

Well, I don't have a landscape/seascape/animal/bird/insect/sunset/sunrise/portrait as an entry, but no matter, I am still getting hammered. Stuck in the mid 5s and don't see it going much higher :-(

Heh. That's pretty funny.
I take it you're actually serious too. :-)

But what happens if you can't change 'em all before rollover due to a freak topaz accident? :-)

Pretty darn happy with that. At least until Robert hits it with a low vote! :-)

11/01/2011 03:48:34 PM · #91
Alright, I had some extra time so I just adjusted the 'scapes group, all the 1's are gone. Relax, citizens!

At this rate I think I'll finish at about a 2.5...

I was assuming I had about a 6.0 image, so it's still possible I'll end up where I thought.

Mine didn't go back up :(. Maybe it isn't landscape-y enough.

Evidently not, OR I missed it in the first pass-through and it never got sorted 1 to begin with.

In any event, I've now promoted all the animal pictures as well, so nobody has received a 1 or a 2 from me at this point in this challenge.

People pix are next, so all you people pix people, if you get hammered tonight, it may be me and it will be reversed :-)

Mine is all fuzzy and warm. I don't get why people don't like it.

Thats actually a very interesting strategy to vote alike images, Robert. A useful method to group images of a similar style into one collection so that they can be voted on together and direct comparisons can be made.

Also, it breaks the quite intimidating 300 entries into manageable groups. I may do something similar when I vote tonight.

Fluctuated heavily today... I forgot how much the first days votes swing. Went from a 5.4 to just over a 6.1 and am now down to a 5.5 I would say a 5.5 is a pretty fair vote for my shot.
