Whoa is it just me or do most of the pictures look like shoehorns?

If this keeps up, I'll be really surprised... I only entered because this was my challenge suggestion :)

Good for you, JuliBoc!

And now. Who the H@ll is handing out 1's? Voting down others isn't gonna get you a ribbon. Improving your own image quality would.

My best so far, and I wasn't happy with the shot at all!

Btw, what does a "Shoehorn" mean?

A shoehorn is something that's (allegedly) forced into a challenge, usually by linking an irrelevant photo to the challenge theme by use of the title.

Ahhh...what do you call an image that doesn't fit at all?

Okay, I'm still new here. With 'shoehorn' pictures, how do you score them? I looked at both the Chaos & Order challenge entries and thought to myself "I must not have understood the subject." However, some of the photos that don't seem to fit the subject are well executed (in my non-professional opinion). So what do you do with that?! :)

Do whatever you like :) Scoring is unavoidably subjective. Some people have complex formulae that they use to calculate their scoring based on a number of factors. Some people take off a bunch of points for a photo that they think doesn't meet the challenge even if they otherwise like it. A photo that might have been a 9 if it met the challenge becomes a 5. Others take everything on good faith and assume a legitimate connection to the challenge, even if they don't see it or agree with it. It's entirely up to you.

You have rated 72 of 72 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 13 images (18%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.7639.

I gave out 5 10's - but have to say I was pretty disappointed with a lot of the entries. : )

07/07/2010 10:17:37 AM · #23

It all pans out in the end to a roughly normal bell curve, but boy, it can be hard to watch as they trickle in... getting two votes in a row that average 2 means a drop of 0.3 at this point. Ouch!

It is only day one of voting too....but as this is my highest score so far I just hope it doesn't drop too much...
