Could be a personal best for me. It would be my first 6+ as well if it creeps up at all. I'll join the race to the death on the next challenge when I come back down to my usual scores. |

Hmm, the overnight vote sucked. Let's see if the western hemisphere suffers from an equally terrific case of cranal-anal inversion.

I haven't looked at any other images yet..just checking the forums and my own scores...but I can't help but wonder what the deal is today??? It seems that the voters making rounds right now are trying to kill every image online in this challenge. Maybe we can all make a difference....I think everyone reading this should go through and vote every image a 10 no matter what, unless it is a DNMC, then give it a 5 for entering the challenge anyway.
What do you think?

Looking at all the other entries in-depth today (I was too tired at 5am this morning) I can't believe I didn't notice how much my picture, well just sucks haha. It's a shame so many seem to be blighted with low scores, I've been pretty generous and just about to go get some faves. Hmm I'm thinking there must've been some trolls on the loose early this morning when the contest just started.
My average is at least up a tiny bit this morning.

In a number of threads about other challenges, I have seen posts noticing that DPC voters in general don't like abstracts nearly as much as other categories of images. I suspect some voters will give out low scores generally this time just because they don't like abstracts. On top of that, we see in this thread another layer of polarization -- that I characterize as those who consider an image abstract if the subjective viewer first notices and first notices and is mainly affected by the shapes and forms that the image presents (I am in this camp) pitted against others who vow to give low socres if any aspect of the subject can be identified as a known object in the real world. These people will fuss very literally about definitions (is it black and white enough? is it abstract enough?) and base all of their score on that (perhaps contrary to the rule to "consider" that factor). The really extreme view gives a "1" to anything that doesn't seem to "meet criteria" as subjectively defined by the self-designated criteria police.
Some images in this challenge should generate high scores even from the harshest voter. Some would do poorly in a free study, irrespective of "criteria". For the rest of us, it may help to have thick skin and cling to the perspective that scores are the summed subjective opinions of a few hundred voters out of the thousands of people registred with DPC. Guess I'll have to take my own advice: 5.2xxx so far.

I'm in the shapes, forms and lines camp myself. This challenge was made double hard I reckon for some because the tones of b/w aren't easy to master at first in itself. As with many abstract challenges, votes may start low but will go up in the next couple of days as people have a better grasp of the subject. My shot was again last minute and scorinb below my avg, and I won't complain. But I can't emphasise the importance of tones strongely enough. If you're scoring below 5.5 it might be something to look at.

Just to provide a glimmer of hope:
You have rated 142 of 318 images (45%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 7 images (2%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.2746.
I normally vote around 5.5 so this is definitely high for me. I guess I am more open than some voters in this challenge I guess.

Someone commented that it was out of focus. Wow... astute observation. I know there have been pages and pages of forum discussion on this topic but seriously... why even bother to comment on something so obvious? It's like saying... your photos is devoid of color. I have eyes. I see that it's out of focus. I had the same shot in focus and it didn't have the feeling I wanted. That was an artistic choice.
On a happy note, someone else gave it a 10 and LOVED it. It's people like that that keep me submitting at all. |
