Oh no!! I posted again!

This reminds me of the scene from "Monty Python and the Grail" where the "Knights who till recently said Ni" keep hurting themselves by repeatedly saying "It".

It's close, but not quite there.

Looks like it will be one of my lowest scoring shots ever, in my bottom 5! And I think it is a good photo. Very weird.

i thought this one might get on my profile page, but that was wishful thinking .. may not even get 6 ..
those voters are getting tougher and tougher ..:)

Hi Everyone�

I�ve never posted in the �how�s the score going� forums until now. While being happy with the score, the two comments mention a horrible flaw in the picture that doesn�t exist. I�ll just point it out after the voting is over but can only imagine the hit I took on these. Has this ever happen to you guys?

Its a 200kb image for goodness sake. ;-)

Maybe its a good thing though? It makes you that much more aware of technical aspects you otherwise would have overlooked. Yeah, its good I guess.

Just got my first comment...thank you. Good to know why I'm scoring so low 4.5556

I've had this entry enlarged to poster size and framed and it looks fantastic. The resizing I did to put it on here has made it lose sharpness and the tones look washed out. Lesson learned!!

Do NOT post the score! You don't want to jinx yourself

Mines dropped into the high fives, but that's good for a FS.

Yes... I did consider that part of the image and kind of wondered if someone would misunderstand the issue. Then I said ~~surly shurly shourly shorely shouly~~ surely no one would think that without/after checking it... Oh well. You're right... Keeps me on my toes.

PS: (Maybe surly was right in the first place)

I've learned the hard way also that images look slightly different on CRT's and LCD monitors. Some images that I process on my desktop using a calibrated CRT look really bad when I view them on my wife's laptop or my work computer (both LCD's). (And occasionally the problem is all due to my crappy or over-zealous processing :O )

Once a voter noted a flaw in my photo that I couldn't see, but actually was a problem with that voters monitor. In that case, the voter was kind enough to PM me (after the voting ended) when they realized the problem was on their end :) I thought that was cool.

my recent 'flowers' challenge photo had a comment about it being dark and it really didn't seem that dark to me, but then when i looked at it from work, my jaw dropped. it was way darker than on my home computer. i really don't know what i could do about that, though.

Would sure be nice to get an explanation for a 3 when most others are giving it 5's to 7's. Of course those folks rarely leave comments.
