Voted on the unlucky entries and most of them don't really convey "unlucky" There are a few good ones, IMO that are well shot and met the challenge well, but some that met it were poorly shot and some good ones really didn't show anything "unlucky". SIGH. This was a tough one I think.

I agree- and I put a shot into this challenge... it was a stretch for me to find something"unlucky" - I was waiting for something unlucky to happen to me and nope! How unlucky about being unlucky can I be?!?! haha. i guess that's a good thing.

Here's me so far

OK mine was one of those poorly shot ones, since I started setting up for it an hour before roll-over and used some new equipment for the first time and wasn't sure how to use it. Oh, well, it's my first time having 4 photos in voting at one time, so I accomplished something.

Yeah, I'm afraid I also have to agree...

For once I feel good about my entry (albeit it's only my third ever challenge)
01/07/2009 01:37:49 AM · #8
THIS is unlucky. Wasn't my picture, but to have this on the front page of every news site in the country... Too bad the photog wasn't a DPC'er //www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0106091vail1.html

Couldn't agree more, although with a score of 5.1 I guess people don't find my particular scenario unlucky.

Note to self: get a new dictionary.

ETA 26 votes and NO comments. Score now down to 5; falling and still no comments.

Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.

Mine, IMO, is decent and meets the challenge clearly. And oddly is the only one of its particular "subject".

But the voters are hammering it. For all the people here who claim they never give below a five, I'm getting a LOT of fours. :)

Oh well. Next.

I'll try to get to do some more commenting later. Some great shots in there, and some not-so-great.

I've slowly moved up from 5 to 5.54 throughout the day and 3 great comments.

Getting a score close to what I expected- slightly lower than what I hoped for... but 0 comments telling me why. sigh.

Do you all feel like you put more into giving comments that's not reciprocated?

Yep.

I've voted on all and commented on 45% so far, however for some I can't think of any praise, advice, comment or criticism.

Scores up to 5.655 now, been creeping up all day.

HAHA. I guess one of those was mine!

I have no problem with receiving 0 comments as long as people are commenting. But I just see a lot of people with a lot of votes and views and normally less than 1% of those have comments.

Link to forum where I explain why those of you that voted on my entry aren't really cool in my book right now...

was at a 3.8 when I self DQed, not due to the score but the comments that explained the score.

Yeah I would say "unlucky" lol, wish more people would comment and give constructive criticism.
01/10/2009 03:25:51 PM · #21
I am amazed, my last minute slightly controversial entry is doing better than expected. Thanks all for the comments, I guess a little good humour goes a long way.

Good job, everyone. This was a tough one, which is why I didn't enter.

You have rated 70 of 70 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 28 images (40%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.4857.


Looking back, I see I was fairly candid with some of my comments. Hope I didn't put anyone off.

Ya think Hawkeye is going to let anyone else come up with a title once in a while?
