When (some) people are done voting they'll go back and start adjusting scores, usually (well, hopefully for the recipient) bumping the score up. Hopefully up. Please, up.

It is now 11.15pm and I am very, very, tired, as I have just finished my 704th. comment for the "Best of 2005" challenge.

I am all tucked out, and hopefully be fresh tomarrow, so I can complete each and every entry, with a personal "sherpet" comment.....

GOODNIGHT - SWEET DREAMS to all of you.


And thanks for mine, Sherpet.

When time permits, I often go back and go over all my votes, or at least a section of them (e.g., all the 5's I gave) and re-evaluate. I often will bump a 5 up to a six in this second run. I almost never bump a score down from my initial impression.

Because I like looking at pictures I like, I often have to resist the temptation to only go back and look at images I voted 7 or above. It's very EASY to do this. Much more useful, however, is to go back to those "middlin" scores and re-assess, and COMMENT. This is something I'm trying to do with this challenge particularly, since there are so many entrants. Time is my enemy though. Here I am sitting at work. Should be working, but no, I'm writing a message. If I can't work, at least I could leave someone a comment, right? (and bump them up!)

So, I've LEARNED MY LESSON. Every time I open the screen, I'm excited to see my score has gone up toward the .5 direction. I click update, and without fail, it goes back down. So, having just opened the screen to find I'm at my .5 goal, I refuse to give the update button the time of day.

Thanks for all the comments, and the fav's are awesome! Keep'em coming! - I'm a little disappointed with the score, as the "comments/fav to score ratio" seems a little out of whack from what we have traditionally seen in the past, but given the competition in this challenge and my subject, I can totally understand and appreciate the score. Thanks!

HUGE thanks to jmsetzler and skiprow for their comments! Your appreciation of the picture and overwhelmingly positive comments almost make the score irrelevant. Strikeslip - you rock as well!

EDIT: It appears my pic has significantly more views as well. Hmmm...

still happy! I'm also trying to comment on all photo's. It's just taking a lot of time. I'm not to good at telling people how to improve, so I'm just saying what I like and what I don't. Please don't get offended anyone! I'm only trying to help.

Have gone through twice now. I will apologise but I wish I had time to comment on them all. There are some stunning images there. I have received 31 comments on mine and am grateful for every one, thanks.

Phew! Just finished 100% voting and only 3% for comments. Thank goodness, we still have a bit of time. I'm trying to make my comments count a little more especially for those I scored lower. Hope I don't upset anyone.

As for mine, well, I'll be lucky if it can finally replace one of those on my profile page.
