Started out around 5.3 now 4.9ish and dropping quick. Getting alot of useful comments though so that is the silver lining on this dark cloud.

just getting into digital photography, its a nice break from the job. Always respect the comments and thanks for taking the time to leave them.

This makes me , so . I'm and . Beginning to my photo is and getting the !


Now THIS is the way to express feelings about a low score!

The rest of you pay attention.

Strikeslip, though you have been in only two challenges with a high score of only 5.5, I have a strange feeling you will win a lot of ribbons here if you continue participation. The quality in your work clearly shows in those two entries. And, you are obviously creative. Put those together and you have a winning combination.

Note:
See Labuda for further details. :)

dropped almost a point from 6.0 to 5.2 in the last few hours - guess the East Coast has logged on.

*laughing* ...Seems like when I decide to go through, vote, and leave my comments... that's when my scores take plunges. Maybe people will vote happier after they've had dinner :)

What is happening??? At mid day I was at 6.3, now I am at 5.9!!! That was my strongest entry ever, and the one I am most proud of. Also, all the comment I got were very positive. I whish those who gave me 4 and below explain why. I can't understand the voting pattern.

fplouffe, I know exactly how you feel. I do feel that this is my best submission so far and my photo is not getting the the score that it deserves. Oh well.

Was wondering the same. I've dropped over 1/2 point since this morning. One of the comments received praised the shot and noted their vote as a 5.
(just checked the members stats and see with 405 votes given, the average was 3.8741 - guess a 5 is pretty good then ??)

My score has dropped a 1/2 today as well. For my photo anyway it is the "Did Not Meet Challenge" crowd making their way though. I am getting great comments but at the end...DNMC. It's all cool, I love my photo.
04/13/2005 07:44:03 PM · #84
Mine dropped about 1/2 point too.

I don't know what's the matter with you guys. You must like... ummm... suck or something.

Just kidding of course :) I'm just kidding about my score too. It ain't anywhere near that good.

04/13/2005 07:54:54 PM · #86
Okay.

I really hate the update button. It is no longer my friend. Lost a whole point between this morning and now.

04/13/2005 08:47:58 PM · #87
same here, down an entire point.
04/13/2005 08:58:56 PM · #88
I dropped over a 1/2 point through out the day.
first look-6.4 something, now 5.7 something
everytime I clicked the update button I would drop.
My entry for this was excellent, one of my best
only three comments
this is unreal!
I wish people would leave comments so I have an idea what they are voting it down for.
04/13/2005 09:39:39 PM · #89
Man. I kinda liked that picture...

Oh well, my first challenge submission, I'm sure I'll improve. (Don't count on it though.)

What I really hate is that now that it's in there, I realize I can go into PS and make a tiny, legal tweak that makes it look like twice as good. Such is life.

Mine's dropping too... I think many people are scoring on the basis of the thumbnails. Many of the pictures I'm looking at have amazing details at full size that are just lost when only looking at thumbs..

Good luck everyone! There are a lot of wonderful images in this challenge. It's obvious to me that this subject struck a deep chord with a lot of folks. My voting will certainly try to honor that.
04/13/2005 10:15:11 PM · #92
Doing ok but I see were I could have improved on the imgage a bit. I made a very simple editing error that cut a key element out of my pic, oh well maybe I'll pay attention next time.

I did a photoshoot at an abandoned place, but as I was setting up there was a golden kodak moment. Unfortunately, I wasn't fully set up to take advantage of that, so my score is now:

very middle of the road, I was hoping for better, but was prepared for worse. My cemetery shot was very good, but next to nobody got it. But my abandoned building is slightly better.

Headed for my personal worst.

This might explain why the scores are low - the subject is so incredibly sad.

There probably are few of those "feel good" bumps that come from the warm-and-fuzzies that one sees in most of the other challenges. If anything, at the end of a tiring work day and a second look, people probably take an even more jaded look - and bump their original score downward.

I found the sheer number of entries sad. What does that say about us - that we let so many structures go from places of love or hope to abandoned pieces of rubbish?

Well, there's my cheerful look at life this evening! Maybe, it's time for a challenge called "Hope" or "Future"!

I would certainly say that this is higher than I expected, being my first challenge coupled with the fact that I could pick apart the flaws in my shot with ease. So, you can imagine that '5ish' is worthy of me kissing my monitor.

This is one challenge where my score is going up and down like a yoyo - unfortunately, it's going down again right now.
04/14/2005 02:39:55 AM · #99
what a depressing score for my first challenge with a photo i thought was going to do a lot better than what my current score (4.6). but this gives me an initiative to do even better on the next challenge.

04/14/2005 02:42:18 AM · #100
You have rated 54 of 497 images (11%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 54 images (11%) in this challenge.

I had to stop hitting the update button because every time I hit it my score would golower. Is anyoneelse commenting???

I also feel there is a strong distinction between abandoned buildings and a ruin. They are 2 very different subjects.
