(not bad, considering I shot my bird photos after doing photography at the church and er...well...left it on ISO 3200. Yeah...what a bleeding idiot i am. The sad thing is it's a great shot and probably would have been in the upper 5.x or possibly a low 6.0 if it hadn't been at such an insane ISO level...duh)

I'm still praying for my first 6+ finish, but I'm SOO STOKED about the Comments thusfar. This (to me) means that I've won already because I've stirred enough emotion in people to send me their thoughts (both positive & negative). Thanks to all the Commenters & I'm trying to get ready for my next Challenge!

It was higher an hour or two ago but now just a cut under my best score ever. I hope it's my top at the end. That would be a definitive show of improvement.

This is one of my best scores, but some of the comments I am getting are rediculous.

The image is supposed to be back lit and the i am gettint things like pity the light is on the back of the bird .

I just really cannot understand some of the comments, you create a picture that is liked by loads of people and then you get a comment like this when that is how the image is supposed to be.

Is it me? Don't I understand photography or what? Some times it makes me thick Why to I bother.

There you go I've had my chunter and hopefully things will be better in the morning.

I really do not understand why members get upset over comments they receive. To put things in perceptive, the critiques you receive are not from master professors of photography. The comments are given from another member that has taken the time to peck something on his keyboard to give you some insight. His comment, right or wrong is just additional information you can choose to use to improve or disregard as garbage.

But to post something complaining about comments I THINK is in bad taste. The alternative is NO comments.

It is all a learning experience.

Also there are master professors here and is great when you get a comment from one of them GOOD or BAD. It all helps IMHO

Great news because I am going up :D .. no seriously, I am glad that you are enjoying it. I know the feeling.
I am on 6.5 now and that means my 7th best for me in a total of 61 challenges! As you can see I have something to smile about too.
So, best of luck. Enjoy.

I'm going out on a limb here to say there will be 6 images score above 7 and one of them will be right around 8.

There have been 63,608 images submitted in 348 challenges but only 21 have scored 8 or above and of them only 5 were in the last year, even though the number of challenges per week has doubled and there are a lot more entries.

When there is little question about meeting the challenge, as is true in this case, and where there are a lot of technically superior images the number of them that score 7 skyrockets. That does not happen often, but will with this challenge.

I doubt 8+ scores as not everyone likes the same image and there are voters who don't like zoo shots and then sometimes its technically good, but very common (one comment I got is about the image being seen too ofen, its too common )... so not every shot gets a high score from everyone. But yes high 7 is expected.

I just finished my first pass at voting. My breakdown was as follows:

Score/Count
3............6
4...........36
5..........121
6...........91
7...........30
8............4

A second pass will probably push some of the 5's up to 6's and some of the 6's up to 7's.

I'm really impressed by the quality of the photos. Seems like we have a lot of folks who really like birds (or at least know where to find them).

I would expect a pretty high top 10 average score this time.

I'm personally running about a 5.1 right now. Ho-hum average.

I'm excited! My bird entry just went over 7.0. This is my first time in this rarified air. I think I'm getting dizzy. Hope I don't tumble back down.

Oh, man... now I feel really bad for you.

I suddenly realized that an Archaeopteryx is the only true bird so had to change all my scores to "1" for for anything that wasn't.

Is your's an Archaeopteryx?
