Can't wish a person to vote the way you'd like. Happens all the time. I am in the same situation. I have been cruising along with a steady 6.3xx score. This afternoon down to 6.2xx in three votes. Nice thing was though I got an 8 right after.

just checking in... but are any of you experiencing an unusual drop in your scores? I've been keeping track of the votes I get (I know, I should be getting some actual work done here! :) ) and I've noticed that all the sudden in the last 3 hours a few people have been handing out a lot of 1's, 2's and 3's- on an image that has consistently been getting 6+.. I've been a member for a while, but haven't entered too many challenges- is this the typical voting spread and am I just being ocd (definitely a possibility!) or is it something to report to the powers that be?

Thanks!

Seems to happen at some point on every challenge. Mine was a 6.0 for 40+ votes then all of a sudden it dipped down to a 5.96 this afternoon. Whatevah.

No need to worry about me anymore-

You may not use ANY editing tool to create new image area, objects or features (such as lens flare or motion) that didn't already exist in your original capture.

I was at 6.5 all week. Thought it I'd be in there for a good finish. A load of crap if you ask me. I did not create anything that wasn't in the original file. Changing the color in advanced editing is appearantly creating a new object.

Thought so too. The advanced rules say "You may- saturate, desaturate or change the colors of your entry or any existing object within it." Just what I did. I've never been DQ'd before, interesting process, you don't even get to put a word in, they pull your entry and your done. Seems like they would at least give the chance to defend it.

Did you open an inquiry and ask them to explain? I live in fear of dqs now that I've had one. And I can't see how they justify this one...
