Ok, since scores are the sideshow here I found some related threads to the question of "how do you vote". Bunch of them.

How do "you" vote?
Question: 1-10 Scale -- How do you use it?
How do you vote?
How To Vote
How Do You Vote?
How do you vote
How do you vote?
Voting Etiquette

This is just a handful (pg 1 of 38) from results that returned 933 threads for the search term "how do you vote" starting on January 30, 2005 thru today.

That being said. Here's how I'm currently stacking up. Thought I had a shot at 6 or better. Oh well, it's fun to watch!

what bothers me most about my score is that I know the photo is better than most of the photos in my portfolio that have scored higher than this.

Yes, this is quite frustrating, I know. But if you think your photo is better than other shots than it is better, don't care what people say. Don't let the votes destroy your happiness about your shot! :)

My first challenge. Although I find it interesting that according to comments, plum is no longer in the purple family. Too pink??

Then someone should tell us EXACTLY where purple begins and ends. Mine has shades from lavender to dark purple and people are telling me it's not purple. I'd understand if I was putting green or orange out there as the main color. I'm a stickler for staying whin the challenge but this is silly.

My score is currently 4.9 up from 4.4, hoping to break 5. How pathetic is THAT!

no argument here. people should just be a little more relaxed in DNMC. I have the feeling that latley more people are looking for reasons to vote down vs find a reason to vote up. I was positive that mine was a 6 based on my past 6+ entrys then I woke up to a 5.5. I was disappointed but it was above my avg. then all day every time I hit update it went down stopping right above 5. It pissed me of.

Agreed. I think mine is one of my stronger images, 6+ for sure. But I did make the comment to my wife that people may beat me up on the exactness of my "purple". Man was i right. Plus I think there's an element that people are missing altogether. If they look at it for more than 2 nano seconds they'll get it. I guess that's asking too much.

Great job! Looks like you will also have the highest rated shot with your camera along with a PB and nice line through one of your goals!

Thanks!

It's up to 6.5108 now. I wasn't thinking about the placement in the specific camera category. I just looked at them and I already have the second highest rated photo in that category. LOL!

I've watched my score slowly climb and I'm so relieved as my abstract macro has hardly budged! I've finally finished and uploaded my "unrelatedness" pic...::gulp::

Now, what to choose for the FREE STUDY? ::scratches head::

Made it through 20% of the images, and left a comment on everything I voted for. Lots of nice shots, but looks like this time I'm wimping out and not voting 100%. I'm going outside, lighting a cigarette and smashing the hell out of every flower I see.
