Actually with the low scoring like this, it may one of the ribbon; if not at least top 5.

Thanks for the sentiment, but I highly doubt it in a 400 entry challenge (even if it does turn out to be low scoring). For example, I am aware of a 7+ score out there (won't say who). I am a little bit more confident I might Top 10 now, but I highly doubt a Top 5...

Note to self, next time shoot something older than 15 years. Oh well, so much for getting evaluated on the photo's merits.

After voting more, about 3/4's of the way through...this is a pretty strong contest. Is it textures 4 good? Maybe.

Its very good, much better then I originally thought.

Yeah. I think everyone is just commenting in Color Portraits for whatever reason.

I am very happy with my image, and it is slowly creeping up now, as yesterday it seemed to be going down more than up.

What I am most happiest about is that I now have 8 comments, and all good.....

I would like it to be in the 6's, but still not quite there yet, but we still have some time up our sleeve.

This is not what I was expecting. Without giving away much about my picture, I think it's a real stretch to submit it for DQ. But that's up to the SC to decide.

I am having some really unusual results with the "Old" voting -- many more swings in the score than I've experienced before. When I first checked Wednesday morning, my score was about 6.7 (with pretty few votes so far). Then a few hours later (maybe noon or so), the score had dropped to around 4.6, if I recall. That means I got a LOT of very low scores, I assume (1's, 2's and 3's), to drop that drastically. Then it has climbed consistently since then back to a more respectable 5.63 or so now. I find it really odd that during those few hours- and seemingly only during those few hours- there were so many extremely low votes.

Could it be the timing of which parts of the world have the heaviest voting at that time of day and certain subjects may have different appeal in different part of the world or just pure coincidence. I'm past the point of ever trying to figure out the voting here, but just found these results particularly interesting.

I have just finished voting each and every entry and also commented on 25% as there were to many to comment on all of them.

I was quite pleased with the entries, but to many old vechicles to really respect them all, and also so many camersa as well.

I really enjoyed this challenge, but I only found a very small number of entries, that actually "POPPED".

Best wishes to you all.....

Will everyone who voted the Something Old II challenge during the first 24 hours please go back and review your votes. And I hope you're in a better mood this time. :)

My score was miserably low on the first day but has been inching it's way back up to almost respectable ever since. Hope it keeps climbing a little more.
