In looking at the scores, I wasn't feeling too bad about my 5.7727 if there were that many trolls about, but then jimness had to go ruin it for everyone! :P

so how many trolls were there last night? Did people get multiple 1s and 2s, or just one?

It seems to me that simply putting th subject in the middle of the scene was not exactly the intent of the challenge. Rather, it was to compose the shot with a reason by putting the subject in the middle of the scene. I will try and have another cup of coffee and maybe something happy to eat before I vote, but I am not so sure right now....

with scores like this I am going to retire, well not retire but quit. I know that I am no pro but come on it can't be that bad!!!!

I might have to do one more challenge after this one, I don't want to go but with these kind of beatings.... I don't stand a chance on here :(


My only advice is don't give up. If you look at my profile you will see I have only low scoring photos. But even if some of my submissions lately been doing bad, I have no doubt that I am much better than when I started. Just keep submitting and stop worrying about your score quite so much.

the only thing I find frustrating is not low votes or low scores. But I find it frustrating when people vote you very low and then give no comments at all on how to improve. Just my .02

Having trouble recovering from all those ones and twos I got last night. According to Excel, I got at least five ones, it was like the worst trolling night I'd ever had! And form what I can see, only three or four people on this forum have scores above 5.0, everyone else got hit hard, or had a sucky photo AND got hit hard. I just sat last night and clicked the button, I got a seven, then a one, a few fives, and a two, then another seven, and a one. It was horrible...

Hey Kris there are plenty of people on here who are happy to give their opinion on shots before you enter them and then knowing which is yours will refrain from voting on it.
Don't give up though as I for one attribute my improvement to this site


Thanks Jent! I appreciate your .02!
So Lutchenko, would you like to be my next challenge mentor?

Lol I knew you were going to say that....

By all means send me your entry options and I will give you my honest opinion and of course will as a result not vote.
There are however many far more capable people then me on here that I'm sure will be happy to help.

Wasn't me, I promise. I've done the Spirit voting. Centered compo will be later on this evening.
I've been rewarded with a 4 myself in the meanwhile. And I imagine that this wasn't the only one.

What concerns your remark regarding low scores vs comments: I fully agree. A 1 - 2 - 3 (maybe even 4) deserves an explanation to able you to improve yourself.
I believe myself that sometimes people give low scores because the subject in the picture is not appealing for them. However, I believe that technique is the first thing to look at when "judging" an image. Even if a subject doesn't attract me, if the image shows a good mastering of technique this needs to be rewarded.

Stats: You have rated 199 of 199 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.6734
11/18/2009 12:59:17 PM · #47
well, hope you guys don't mind if I chime in.
this is my first entry, and I'm not complaining about low numbers.
However, I was hoping for a constructive critic/comments . after 45 votes I have 0.
and looking around here I see its a popular trend, most of you have zero or one comment....

so, my question is... is that normal? do people with comments show up late for this party?

Will given your recent achievements I think you have quite figured somethings out and many would find your incite a gift.

Comments often arrive later on in the voting process. It takes a while. When i'm voting i'll go through the images and give an initial score, usually in the 4-7 mark. Then a bit later i'll run through them again, increasing the ones that i really like into the 8s and 9s and choose my favourite of the challenge and give it a 10. This is when i usually comment so it's always later in the week. I try to comment on my top five or so and any low scores i've given (although i've been a bid rubbish about this recently..must try harder!) Anyway...
