Other then the fact that this is my best score yet.. which is really sad to say. I'm happy to say that I've stumped everyone so far and I know no one will guess it. I virtually garuntee it's not what you think... maybe

OK so I'm doing my voting and How many macros of flowers can there be? Maybe there should be a macro challenge that disallows flower or plants... just my .02 plants for a puzzle macro challenge just seems to lack creativity.

Im at 4.x also....but my thing is..people comment like they know what it is, like it is soooo obvious and I'm dumb for entering it...AND THEY ARE WRONG!!!!!
am beginning to think maybe if I could tell them they are wrong they might bump it up a bit??

Nah, don't do that (telling them what it is). If they're wrong, so be it - you were supposed to fool them, right?

But, but .... flowers are so pretty!
And, who knows, maybe they're not flowers, just look like them.

No flowers from me, BTW :)

7 comments, 1 got it really close, the others tried hehe. I've decided I'll try to put more emphasis on commenting than voting this time around.

Guys I didn't enter this one (probably would have if my camera didn't die) but I am going to try and guess and comment on every one.

Been a while since I've seen this many comments so early in a challenge. Only the first person guessed correctly! Kind of a fun challenge to vote and comment on. :)

not great, but since I started commenting on all, this challenge is actually kinda fun! one person has guessed mine, but its interesting to know what I made people "think" it is!

I've managed to crawl out from under the rock. Still a lousy score, but not nearly as bad as the 4.75 I had when I went to sleep last night. :-/

You know it's bad out there when Scalvert's shot is in the tank.

A few guesses have come close, but not hit the money yet.. And, what's really nice is a few have left a bit of a critique..

Exactly where it should be. I had three different shots to choose between, and I probably picked the worst one. Good thing I stayed out of the MS Tournament this time. ;-)

I'm guessing that some of the voting is going like this:

Ooh, pretty picture, I can't tell what it is but everything isn't in focus - 5.

Ooh, pretty picture, everything is in focus but I can tell what it is, so not a puzzle - 5.

Gosh, could have been a better shot, but since I'm puzzled about what it is - 5.

Well, my shot is better than that, I'm getting a 5, so - 4.

Ooh, flowers. I like flowers. I can tell what it is, but I like flowers. - 8

Man, that's a cheese grater - 2

<\rant>

If I throw out the first 15 votes, I'm well over 6, so I'll just pretend that the first 15 votes don't count.
I wasn't liking the 4.9 at that stage.

Yes, the early voting last night was tough. I've climbed nicely but don't think I'm "competing" yet.
06/20/2007 03:25:14 PM · #70
One thing is for sure, I've received more comments in this challenge than the last 3 combined. Oh, and I turned off the scores because I was so disgusted. So I have no idea what it is now.

Hoping for a nice vote to put me back over 6.0 after 50. Most of the comments are just guesses as to what it is. I usually mark most everything helpful, but on this one just the ones who got it get a helpful mark for guessing right!

ETA: musta jinxed myself
