I'm tired of doing bad, that's my rant for today. Oh and I wish people liked my photos. That is all.

*Hugs*... I understand. I was really looking forward to this week because I thought my photo was really cool, but it's turning out to be the first time I've gotten a score lower than 5 for ages :(.

Thanks Lisae.
One more rant while I'm at it. I think I was voted down because I don't have milk in my photo and I don't drink it. There's a conspiracy against me.

Man! I've never scored below 5, and was hoping to not score below 6 since I started participating again in December. That is now all out the window!

A freaking 3.6!! And my first really nasty comment. What a bummer.

Funny thing is, I look at my photo now, after the low voting, and I think it stinks. Amazing how perceptions can be changed like that.

I am there with you! 4.4 with the square challenge, almost funny! from high to low all in a day! Just remember low to high can also happen!

welcher - Wow! Looking at your profile, it's hard to imagine you scoring that low. This week seems a bit odd. I'm sure there are loads of people out there who are scoring high and feeling really good about themselves (wankers :P), but for the rest of us it's going to be a bumpy ride :/.

Edited to say: Whoa, same for you Natasha! There's nothing under 5 on your profile. This is crazy!

Yeah, I've only got a 4.5 so far, but I thought I had taken a pretty good one for the square challenge. Ah, well, if all else fails there's always the cliches...

I don't want to hear anyone who's scored over a 6 - EVER - to complain about frustration. ;-)

Oh, you say I have to actually submit once in a while to get a score?? THAT'S what I'm doing wrong!

Can I share this fustration? My photo is doing better that previous, but not as good as I had hoped. No way have I gotten over a 6.

Sorry, but that was only one of my photos, maybe I'm just frustrated that I can't repeat that performance. Whoops I just checked I had two but still.

Well, just when I thought if I kept it simple that I wouldn't get any 1's... I get three anyways. I am willing to accept other people's opinions and all, but I have a hard time thinking my Signs Revisted photo was among the absolute worse of the challenge.

A little frustrated, but the four 10's make me feel better.

This is unfortunate. I do however feel that the scores have not been as high as they once were. That is too bad. I am studying this problem and will report back soon on my findings. Have to finish making correlations.

I also am experiencing disappointing voting results. I've been in a constant downward spiral since voting began. My photo in the Square challenge started at 5.1, and is now at 4.33, and only 1 comment. If this is something that everyone is experiencing, then I don't feel so bad. Though I can commiserate with all of you - I'm feeling really frustrated and depressed.

I gave this a 6, I can`t understand how anyone can give 1s unless it`s a terrible picture.

I don`t think any of the pictures in this challenge deserved a 1.

my score has been pretty rocky.. i submitted it like 30 seconds before the poll closes (damn superbowl), so i wont be dissapointed or anything.. actually though, i was quite supprised. i'm getting (or was) higher scores than my other 2 entries, on which i thought more than 2 seconds before shooting. It started at like 4.7, then up to 5.66 (wow! for me anyway.. ) then down to 5.4 .. i have no clue where it'll end up at the end.. i knew what i did wrong before i even submitted it though :) so it's not that bad.

talk about frustrated seven ones and seven twos. I know that my dead duck crossing wasn't going to win but I can see getting a one because my photo did meet the topic.
I was going to become a member when my scores increased. At this rate I will never have to cough up the money for membership.

ack.. down an OTHER 0.1 .. down to 5.3 :( i guess my dreams of this being my top pic are gone...

welcher: Very strange indeed. I felt that too in the past but most of the times the score was right and the photo really stinked. But I also recently experienced the contrary. The lower the score dropped the more I felt constrained to love my "baby" ;-)

bamaster: I think the endless discussions about photos getting 1's is becoming somewhat cliche...

Regarding low scores... I'll join the club :-) I'm currently at 3.6 but I'm _not_ frustrated. I knew that I would score really low but I submitted anyway because it's some kind of experiment for me. Actually I'm very happy about the comments I got so far.
