Just because I'm never ever going to see a 9 and a comment with the first vote. :)

I've never looked at my score after only two votes. Unbelievable. 2.25. I know it will go up after more votes but puh-leeze! ;-D

Oy!

Can't we wait till we have a reasonable number of votes before we start this?

Personally I like the suspense of waiting until results post.

Haha, yeah, normally I think exactly the same way, I was just so excited with a comment and a 9 on the first vote.

Sorry.

I knew I was gonna take a hit, but cmon! 2's? You have GOT to be joking. I mean really, my subject is blue. That alone for meeting the challenge should get a 4!?!
08/02/2004 12:34:24 AM · #9
jmlelii, you are really lucky! My first vote received was 1.0000 . I was looking at it and as I have never seen a 10 I was wondering.... Was it that good?!... When I realized: it was a 1 !!!!

I'm not doing terribly, but not great either.

But I just think this is the most beautiful image! And it meets the challenge, of course. I guess the voters just don't find it as exciting as I do. :-( Please, some comments as to why it's not an 8 or so...

i really like my shot, too. sigh... just once i'd like to see what a 6 looks like. i know my past entries had definite flaws, but this one's cool.

Yeah, anna, even weirder is the rushed shot I did for the Macro IV challenge, is at 5.5:

which I don't think is nearly as nice. Maybe the early voters are just in a bad mood... please, eat some chocolate while you vote, it makes you happy!!! :)

well my score has now dipped into the 4.7 range, but i did get a comment... they said it didn't look blue (i've rephrased, of course). now i'm worried. i took such care into doing the correct color preview in photoshop, and to think it's showing up non-blue on people's machines makes me want to cry. :(.....

i'm going to bed.

ps skylen-- my macro shot isn't nearly as good and it's still in the 5 range somehow, too.

I can't believe how low my score is. There are no comments so I have no idea why. Hopefully it will work its way up. I thought this was a very cool shot (and still do).

How do you check this information? do you need to be a paying member?

Thanks, No score yet then, but I do have a positive comment :-). It's my first photo entered!!!

ps: I voted on all 290 already so I'm probably some of your 1's.

If you are a paying member you get a button to update your scores on request. Otherwise, they are updated once an hour for the whole site, but they seem to be running late tonight.

You may also need to got to your preferences page and check the box to see current scores.

yeah, my blue picture also got pooped on...it's certainly not following the standard rules of composition (blah blah blah), but as an image i think it's beautiful.

also, i'm not sure if the background is blue in the picture...i know it is in real life but the lighting makes it more gray in the picture...we'll see.

by the way, the blue and the macro are my first entries (i just found this website today, it's great!) and i'm currently at 2.95 with 21 votes!
08/02/2004 01:38:22 AM · #19
...and i agree, i wish more people would comment. between my two pictures, about 40 people have voted and there's only 1 comment.
08/02/2004 01:40:32 AM · #20
With over 500 new photos, I expect that much of the commenting will happen later, and the number/photo will likely be down, especially for those in the 4-5 range who need them.

Welcome, way to jump right in!

Hey, I'm helping out. I comment on more than 50% of the images I vote on. I'm on a sucky dialup 21Kbps, so when I wait 5 minutes for each image to load, I might as well be as helpful and thoughtful as possible. :-|

I vote on many less images than most people, but I do it more carefully than some seem to.

P.S. Oh yeah, welcome thatcloudthere! Hope you learn a lot and have as much fun as I am.

Wow, there is something wrong with the score system (Stats are currently
unavailable for this image) since I do not see any score at the moment but I'm begining to wonder what is going on since I'v already got three comments!

Lower than it deserves imho. I haven't done much voting yet to see what the stiff competition is. ;)

6.3824 after 34 votes.
2 comments.

One thing I've learned about watching the early scoring:
It means a lot, or nothing at all...

LOL
