Judging from your 250+ challenges (or even your last ten), your level of "clueless-ness" is a level of excellence that most DPC folks will never achieve, myself included. Perhaps you just need a short break and let your creative energies re-charge.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't complain. My last ten don't even meet my average, though, and the fun has gone out of it for me. I just think it best if I move to the sidelines for awhile. I'm always more than happy to comment - if you want to PM me, I'll comment on entries. I'm not voting for awhile anymore either.


This is not good news!! The trolls are dancing in the streets. Maybe take a few weeks off and come back with a vengeance. I will hold the line in the meantime.

better then average i guess

29 votes, 5.1724, having climbed out of the 4s in the last hour. Pretty average. The idea is good, the execution is so-so. Might just have to correct my mistakes and see what comes of it.

Up from the 4's and doing around as expected. If previous trends hold, it will climb today then slowly drop through the week, until the last two days. (My mirrors score is now going back up)

Right now I am really enjoying the feature that allows us to add comments during the challenge. :D

I didn't participate in the DPCOIII for that exact reason. I felt 8 weeks of doing challenges was too much for me and when it was upped to 12 weeks I simply lost all motivation so I didn't join in on the fun this time. Forcing yourself to participate in a challenge, just because you have to, for the team, takes away much of my eagerness to create something unique. It got to be a burden to force myself to come up with something when I wasn't inspired by the challenge at all from the start. Lesson learned.

Such a big turnaround (from 4.3 last night). Giving the situation, time and equipment that force me to do things I didn't want... I was excepting around same level scoring overall. So, thanks to all for good votes and comments are most appreciated, although I will explain at the end, it was kind of meant to be that way ;)

Mine moved up a bit. I went to bed with my score sitting at 5.0000. And now;

Just finished voting, some excellent gorgeous shots in there, very impressive. Well done you lot!
11/11/2008 10:05:22 AM · #64
I just noticed this, Votes Received: 19,999

So let's see if my 20,000 vote is good or bad.

ETA, I just got the vote, it was not good. Probably a 3 or 4, not that my math is any good.

I had to rush the shooting, but thanks to the roll-over delay I had more time for editing and took more care than usual. Hopefully I'm out of my mid 4's slump.

Melethia - Don't feel alone - I took over a year "off" and was still sucked back in to find that I'm pretty much the same old mediocre goob I've always been :)

Starting to get the usual 3's and 4's without comments. I didn't think my entry would have that high scoring broad appeal. Down to a 5.3333

Can anyone tell me how to see this scoring breakdown during voting? Mine appears to be unavailable.
Thanks for any help.

Hey, good to see you again! I've been mostly AWOL this year, too.

I have not taken any photos or entered a challenge since Pajamas. I seem to have lost my mojo for the time being. Sometimes a little break can do wonders for your attitude. I will miss your submissions though.

They don't have it either! *grin* Actually, it's not part of the site that they get these breakdowns from. It's a bit of mathematics and an Excel Spreadsheet that they're using to do this with. I'm sure someone else who does do this will post on how to do it. :)

Personally, I find that it's just one more way to drive yourself insane in here, beyond the "update button" so, I don't do it. Save yourself, man! Don't do it! *GRIN*

11/11/2008 10:51:17 AM · #73
Oh, I see. Well I'll save my sanity then and devote my time to photography, not mathematics!

Thanks, PhotoI

Oh well - there are people with 7+ scores out there.... I'll be lucky to harness a 6 at roll-over methinks... I know what I did wrong, but it was a conscious decision and so I can live with my current score.

Same here. I've actually dropped. My scores are lower now.
