Still pencil shape...
It was a wishful thinking, but wishes won't fix my points in this challenge :)
The end of my 6+ streak :(
!!!This was the beginning of ending for my 6+ streak !!! |
I would think twice about entering a chopstick photo in a challenge for the next 3 months. No, I would think once. And not enter it... (although it meets the challenge perfectly.) |

I just want to say thanks for all the great comments. I'm happy with this one - especially the number of views! Wow - Second most number of views for one of my challenge entries. Whoo-hoo. Guess the thumbnail looks interesting even if the score isn't any higher. Lol

Yes I think so :)
Because this is the best score which I see here until yet. Best of luck to you. You might have got nice comment & vote from me. If this is the really best score then this may be good news for many of us as well. |

You will need to do far more better than this to score a ribbon. At least 7. Very likely you will be in Top 20, if not Top 10. |

Well It's not always true. You can see the examples in previous challenge:
Closing
Children's Toy
The second thing is that this challenge is having entries around 100 & very few eyecatching images so I think the highest score may not be more than 6.5 or 6.8. After all it's only a guessing. I may be wrong if someone is not putting his/her best score here. |

I've removed my original post, since it violated challenge voting rules that I was unaware of.
With sincere apologies to everyone,

Mr. shankraft, you telling me mine wasn't composed and done well. I spent some time to take my picture and I didn't just get the DELETED and took a shot at them :/

I gafe the score of 1 for _badly_ taken DELETED photos. Actually, let me correct that - for _all_ _badly_ taken photos - ones that I felt that had little to no effort put in. There were a couple of well done DELETED photos, to which I gave higher scores:
DELETED

These were composed _and_ photographed well.
I believe that if you can execute a common idea well, folks will appreciate it - take any idea and execute badly and you'll find that the folks on this site will respond harshly. |
Maybe this discription of how graphicfunk votes would guide you in your future voting challenges.

I think since it is a small contest everybody is having plenty of time to analyse the image & write comment on it. |

Fat chance. :-) I don't do anything, I just criticize the work of others. Just kidding.
On a more serious note, I doubt that my photos are anywhere near the quality for entry into a competition. I have opinions and I base my vote on that opinion.

Hmmm. While I agree with the basic method of voting that graphicfunk uses, I disagree with 2 things:
1. You don't to be a master to state your opinion that a photo is not good - that's the whole point of the vote; it's someone's opinion.
2. Simply putting people on a scale of 5-8, simply means that for the compressed scale that's being used, a 5 is the equivalent of a 1 or a 2. If the voting scale is 1-10, using your own scale simply adds a skew that is misleading. This maybe okay, if you simply don't rate any photos that are not 5-8 i.e. photos that are 1-4, 9 and 10 are essentially no votes in your book, but I'm sure that's not what graphicfunk is suggesting. Skew = bad.

Absolutely you should. Might be nice though, if maybe you could see your way clear to spending an extra few seconds explaining your opinion to those you vote 1 - 3? You seem fairly articulate and there are many here who would appreciate the honest feedback :) |

Aaahhh. I didn't think of that aspect. I'll try to go back and explain my ratings on all photos, regardless of score. I appreciate your comment. Thank you. |
