Outstanding! I think someone else was beating their old personal best by more than a point, too.

Deb Melethia thanks for the wonderful comment!

I had read this before...

I had the most on target, the most wonderful comment from Melethia and after the challenge is over, I invite you to read it. It's almost like she was there and knew what was in my mind.

I don't know how you do this, but you commented on mine with the exact thought that I had when I decided to enter this shot.. as close as the words you used in the comment were the exact words in my mind while editing the shot! Thank you again!

Still flying steady at 6.8, a PB by 1.3! Down from just over 7, but level for 24 hours. This should be my first top 50% entry.

Look at all the comments! Does anyone have any idea of the most comments or a comments per # votes? Almost 15% of voters have commented - mostly +

BTW - thanks again scarbrd for telling me of this DPC contest when we met at Hermann Park Saturday.

Glad to see you joined up as a full member. I has serious lens envy when I saw you walking around with the 500mm F4L. Talk about a lens for photographing birds, geez.

BTW - My score from the same park in steady at 6.55

Lens envy is one of the 7 deadly sins - another topic for DPC! LOL

Congrats on 6.55. I think I saw your entry as you told me what you were looking for!

Another thank you for a melethia comment, and for her willingness to imagine stuff in a technically unstellar shot.
01/30/2008 03:27:49 PM · #231
You guys are too funny! I'm still at a lovely 5.3 but I do have 9 or so comments on my own shot, which is very cool!

Now it just needs to stay a PB!

I was hoping for a lot better (like a ribbon) however it is still well above my 5,7 average. I do not mind losing to some of the amazing entries I have seen in this contest, so I guess I am ok with it.

Just finished voting. There are some absolutely wonderful images in there - and the average is very high. Great work folks, very very few lemons (like about 3 in nearly 200 photos)

Worse than that, my number of votes hasn't changed but my score just took a big hit. Somebody must have just significantly revised their vote on my entry downward :(

Same here. Lost nearly .05 with 2 adjustments and no new votes. At this stage in the game its more than just someone adjusting their vote down 1. Meanies. ;)

Exactly. Nearly .05 is also the amount that I lost.

And I keep slowly going up. Maybe I should prepare for the fall.

A nice rebound for my score and some nice comments. With the high scores, I don't know if I can even squeeze into the top 20 but happy anyway as this will bump another photo off my front page!

2 faves and 27 comments and only a scorfe of 6.5806, affirms my beleif in trolls.
01/31/2008 10:56:18 AM · #246
Yep, I just got hit with a 2 and my average is over 7. Go figure.
01/31/2008 10:57:58 AM · #247
and I just got hit with a 3. looks to be happening to a few people.
01/31/2008 11:01:29 AM · #248
On the plus side, a 3 doesn't hurt me much. :-)

And ohbytheway:

You have rated 245 of 250 images (98%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 249 images (100%) in this challenge.

If you didn't get a comment, you didn't enter! What I really noticed was how well the backgrounds - color and composition - supported their birds. And I enjoyed seeing some I've never seen, and unique presentations of your everyday birds. Really a very enjoyable challenge to leisurely view!

01/31/2008 12:41:35 PM · #250
I missed the trolls this go around! No 1's or 2's lately. LOL

Flying on auotpilot 6.8+ since yesterday.
