Why do people do this Tim, as I think it is so wrong..... Sometimes it make s me think it not worth the trouble of thinking up an idea, and taking the shot, to be then given a lousy low score with most of the first votes ever given.

It ain't no big thing Shez. If I were in bed sleeping where I should be then I never would have seen this. Gotta admit it was pretty funny though. Thanks for having my back! Merry Christmas!

It's ok. You submit an abstract, you take the beating.

I can't understand that Tim. I gave you 8...

Man there are some angry voters out there. Everyone's scores here look low. Where is the Christmas generosity kids? I started at 4.4 after a few votes. Now:

I actually had that initial window open and copied it before your vote came in (and thank you for that vote). It had been a while (uhmmm - never) to have seen a score like that on my home page. I really thought it was quite funny. Maybe just some backlash from the success of the Clan of Too (Yeah baby - 2 Pics on the Front Page!!!) Oh well - this place is all good fun and I am very happy to have the image that I entered. Its goin' onthe wall!

And on that note - Merry Christmas!!!

Do excuse me for pointing out the obvious, but why do people complain about low scores at every turn. I appreciate that some people might put in a great deal of effort to take an image, but there are instances where perhaps this is not conveyed in the image.

Have I ever voted images low... yes indeed I have, and in my opinion they deserved it. We are all bemoaning the fact that few people comment on images... a factor that might in part be attributed to the fact that some people do not seem prepared to accept any form of critical analysis of their submission.

Low scores are not a death knell, they are simply an indication that the image did not resonate favourably with certain people, and that one should strive to improve.

Just a thought.

Thanks Ray...it's just frustrating when your hopes are high and you get a 2.5 like Tim did. I guess it has to be ok to convey your highs AND lows on this site cause it's a bit of a family and Christmas as well.

Merry Christmas to you buddy,

But it's still early...VERY early...

Great submissions in this challenge! I thought the entries were overall above average for most challenges....just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure I know which one is yours. I agree, 2.500 doesn't do it justice. ;>þ

Mutes the sting of rejection to gripe about it and know that other people are in the same boat.

I agree with the first part. The second half... well if it scores low because it sucks then yeah strive to improve. If it scores low simply because what you like and what voters like are poles apart then you have to choose to either stick with your inner voice or join the score whores and trade your inner voice for that of the voting masses.

Anyway,

there are some superb shots in this challenge. wowee! well done everyone!
12/25/2006 02:14:27 PM · #25
I don't make many comments- I usually don't have anything great to add, but (and I'm not sure if I'm just not under the Christmas 'influence' or not) but I've never seen so many great- no really great photos, for a challenge. Tremendous, thoughtful, images. Congrats to everyone who entered. This has been a nice 'present' just going through all these. Thanks everyone!

I just thought I'd add- I've never given out so many 9's and 10's- and I think they deserved them.
