OK, done voting, although I may tweak a few votes later. 434 votes given along with 36 comments. This should certainly help with getting me into the current 48 hour challenge!

Heading for a middling 5 score and few comments. I guess my picture is merely a competent shot of a boring subject. No critiques since there's nothing particurally wrong with it, but nothing particurally striking about it.

Nuts, I thought it was cool looking.

With two favorites, you'd think it would be scoring higher.
6.07 is still pretty darn good. I'll gladly swith scores with you. I'd even settle for a 5.07. ;)
Good luck, it will probably climb back up for you.

OK, I'm fairly pissed. Not only do I get a validation request (not a big deal), BUT it comes along with a large drop in my score.

vote the picture like it was legal!!!

If I miss a ribbon by a small amount, I'm going to carry a grudge about this one.

Don't sweat it, Doc. I think everyone's score has been following the same downward trend over the weekend. I highly suspect it'll perk back up by Tuesday.

I'm nowhere near ribbon territory, but may be replacing my #2 slot on my top line. There's that! :-)

I saw a few that I thought may have been "not basic" but voted them "high" b/c they were so good. I'll let others and SC decide if shot was legal.

I had a validation request the first night. Score went up...now back down.

Good Luck.

Ha, well, I can't just blame it on the person who asked for the validation request. I just got a "0" (a 1 vote plus a downgrade of a previous score). My score is dropping like a rock.
04/30/2006 04:10:37 PM · #211
Maybe people are revaluating at the moment Achoo ... you know .. vote once first instinct .. then vote again based that you have seen them all ... bad though ... mine is still wha it has been the whole time ... very very average.
04/30/2006 04:13:53 PM · #212
I'm dropping today. Down from a 6.13ish to 6.06 now. 6.3 is not going to win this thing so I don't really care about being high...I just want to finish above 6 in this one.

I had a validation request within the first hour of the challenge. UNfortunatley it didnt get validated until late the next day. Opened with a powerful 4.2. I think I took a big hit because of it. Since then I made it up to 5.6. Took days though and I really thought I had at least a 6.0 coming before it all opened. Havent gone down at all, slowly creeped up and now all I can hope for i sthat some of the inital voters will go back and reevaluate some of the shots that have been validated and maybe vote according to the merits of the photo and not the possibility of cheating.

Every one of the comments are possitive. Very little critique. Wish the score was a little higher!

So is anyone above 6.4? Lets's get a count of third page winners ;) May need a 7 to win this one.
04/30/2006 06:31:33 PM · #216
Ok how many are above 6.3 then?

Me too, Doc! I got 8 votes since about 6 this morning, and they averaged a 4!! A flipping Four!?!?!?!

come on.

OK, folks, we can cease and desist with the weekend lowering of the scores now. Thank you.

04/30/2006 11:23:56 PM · #219
I think all the scores are lower on this one. At one point I was at 6.6 and was really hoping for a top 10. Now I've slid to a 6.49 and am hanging on for dear life.

Don't you hate that? It's like ok lets call off voting! :P

I voted for the past couple of hours. Gave out the most 10's and 9's I ever did in a contest. Voted on 25% thus far - 6 tens and 8 9's.

Is it just me, or are some of the negatives not really negatives of "positives?" If I switch them to positive, they're not recognizable as such. Makes it hard to figure what the colors really were in some cases.

I noticed that too. I was tempted to tweak my colors a bit more but resisted for that very reason.
