Just remember to leave me your equipment when you rope up.

My entry is struggling to stay above 5, I guess there is little appreciation for performance art.....

So this basically means a 5????? DUHHHH?


I got the same comment except that Composition was 1/2

I don't think this is very constructive.

Well, I can't seem to figure out how to make a noose, circle impaired I guess.

I got the same comment. I'm a little confused. Does that mean I got half a point? or does it equal a 4 or a 5?

I got a similar comment too... am still baffled by it, but I know my score went down lol

It appears that they've broken down the points available for voting into 5 categories. So a 0/2 means they didn't like your composition and a 2/2 means they thought it fit with the challenge. with a 1/2 being average? then you add all the points together for the final.

This is very similar to the process, though more on the technical side) I've used (below), from the sound of the comments here I'm taking it that you either don't understand or don't like it??? If it's not useful... why bother with this much even?

Base: 5
Technical: -2 to +2 (from Heck my kid could do that to WOW)
Subjective: -2 to +2 (how much do I like it)
Challenge: -2 (if you didn't meet the challenge, but I have to tell you WHY or smack myself upside the head.)

Total: 1-9 (a 10 would have to really knock my socks off)

ah it makes sense now, cheers!
07/06/2005 03:42:59 PM · #110
Yeah, after looking at it a little more I get it. But you're right... not sure I like it. To each his/her own I guess.

I don't know if it is due to the number of entries but I will say this: I showed my photo to at least a dozen people not related to this site before entering. ALL of them, at the very first glance said the same thing "WOW!" Yet, it sits around a 5 here and I can see the shots that will be better will be unimaginitive and uncreative, as most of the entries are.

Well it was better than mine on this scale. I guess I got a 4. What exactly is "sujective affinity?" Score has taken a nose dive this afternoon.

Okay guys, I'm weak. The first 60 voters got to me. 4.2 to 4.5 or so.
I pulled my entry! I thought I was "saving face" but then I remembered the DQ's get tacked on at the end of all the submissions so everyone will get to see my humbling entry afterall. :( Oh, poor, poor me...lol!


How did you pull your entry? I have the general idea of what everyone that has voted so far thinks. No need to make anyone else suffer...

Don't pull your entry.. If you thought enough about it to enter it then let it stand.

95/4.4315 with one comment. Ugh. And I thought I had a good shot too.

nico_blue! i think i know which one is yours! if my comment says something like, "i wish i could see who you were because i'd favorite you" or something then say that's yours because i know that's your picture because that picture is awesome. i gave it a 10!
07/06/2005 04:25:02 PM · #119

07/06/2005 04:26:59 PM · #120
Come on..... This is my lowest score by a long shot, over 90 votes and no comments as to why! I have thick skin as long as it's constructive...

Thanks in advance

At least it is being viewed/voted on. I can't complain but there are some terrific ones in there. Notice 3 photos have disappeared lately.

I knew mine wouldn't place high, but it was a fun shot and some people really seem to like it. The hardcores won't appreciate it too much however.

Started this morning at 36/5.2 but I knew it wouldn't last.
Now it's 118/4.8 I think I my photo frightens the hell out a lot of people, LOL.

And I won't be able to check anymore, because I'm off for a couple of days for sheep inspections. I'm sitting out the next two challenges, I'm not a family-like girl and I don't do sport, or will a photo of me chasing some sheep do well?
