Well 14 hours into this challenge and no one has started this thread yet?

Ok, I guess I will do it...

I have fallen steadily from around 6.6 from the first time I looked. I may be suffering from the "not quite candid enough" syndrome that has been discussed in another thread. My image is definitely candid... the person was surprised when they saw me with my camera and then gave me a nice rebuke for snapping their photo. I apoligized and promised them a copy of the image, which seem to calm them a bit.

I could have improved my image pretty simply, except I forget which challenge was which and stuck to basic editing instead of advanced. I guess I am getting forgetful...

I don't know exactly what I'm suffering from, but I'm suffering:

Down from 6.65 this morning. Will recover during the week no doubt.

Re: Candid... How are you doing?

My submission does what it usually does. Its score moves up and down. Although I feel it's a worthy image, I don't think it's good enough to quite have a life and soul. Thus I cannot truly say how it is.

I, for my part, am doing fine.

i was at a 6.5ish then i got hit by a couple of 1s and 2s all at once, now im at a 6.2

First time I've been genuinely disappointed with my score... I sort of expected it - for some it may look staged, though I assure them it was not. Sad thing is I think it's clearly the best image I've submitted and I'm sitting at 5.5xx.

On the bright side my new years resolution is at 6.6 - so that eases the disappointment :P.

Been dropping all day and not sure why, since nobody will leave a dang comment. :-)

Same here around 2 or 3 hours ago the one's and two's started so not knowing if they were placeholders or actual votes. I turned off my "view vote" in my preferences. So I don't know what my score is and don't expect to turn it back on. I will wait till the challenge ends.

holding on to the upper 5's - I'm happy with that. Candid and portrait work is not my favourite theme.
01/03/2005 06:38:39 PM · #20
I started really high 6.6 at 10 votes, but dropped like a rock down to 5.6 now.

Dropping precipitously. From 5.9 to 5.4, and only one comment.
01/03/2005 06:55:55 PM · #24
Also dropping with only one comment. Down to 6.4 from 6.9 when I got up this morning. First day of work in the new year may be putting people in a bad mood.
01/03/2005 07:35:42 PM · #25
I just may get the "Brown" :)
But I don't mind I gambled and it did not pay off.

78/4.1282/4

The voters have evidently gotten tougher since I have been away :)
I plan on making up for it in the near future.
