Clearly, I'm cheating. I gave 10's to e301 and jjbeguin in the Free Study Challenge. Here are the photos:



I am very fond of both photographers and have even had e-mail contact with Ed. Could it really just be a coincidence that I gave them both 10s? I mean, clearly, these are mediocre photographs. They both scored 5.3s. And as everyone knows and constantly reminds me, the voters here are always right.

So here I am giving 10s to mediocre photographs that just happen to be taken by (virtual) friends. And this is part of a larger pattern. Both of these photographer get an overall avg vote of 7+ from me even though their site averages are under 6... which means they're okay photographers but certainly not the cream of the crop around here.

I should be filleted and roasted. And I think there are some here who would volunteer to do it!

Would you like basting first? Or just flash frying?:)))

Is that an open invite? I'm kinda hungry...

Actually, I've decided a good vote or comment from you is the "OFFICIAL" Kiss o'death for any image that the photographer wants to do well. You march to your own drummer, but you do it consistently. :)

Interestingly enough, the lower jjbeguin score/placed, the higher your vote. :)

I think your votes quite justified - I gave them a 7 and 9 respectively, and both were pretty close to the next score up.
You do raise an intersting point, 'though. Is there a 'right way' to vote (as many here would have you believe) or should we all be allowed to vote as our personal aesthetics dictate?

He's a cheat@



J/k, of course ...I just like that graphic :-)

Well since your friends shoot in the style you like the most it seems natural you would give them high scores. I know whenever I mistakenly get close to your style I'll get your kiss of death vote. :P Btw, how many 10s did you give out? I'd imagine it would be hard for either of those two to not get a 10 from you.

I purposely submitted a photo in ROT which I hoped would garner a posthumous comment. You left a comment and scored it a 7! ;)

I dunno, janko, your free study entry was almost understated, and ostensibly bat-free... your number may be up soon.

One of my DPC goals for 2007 was to receive a 10 from Don (posthumous) and it’s done!!!

Kitchenware
#56 - Score: 5.7801

Yes, I know… A 10 from Don is the "OFFICIAL" Kiss of death.
But I do respect his vision and his opinion about photography and I think Don his one of the few persons in this place looking for art and not only for easy looking images.

Thanks Don for your kindness.
And please do not give up; We need people like you thinking different.

15... more than some, but not that many for such a huge challenge.

Then again, I gave you a 10 in the Triptych challenge, I must be easy...

I reckon he's quite picky, in a perverse sort of way. The numbers above speak for themselves. Now let's talk about that crappy Henri Cartier Bresson someone entered into that challenge recently....

in capitals: I TOTALLY AGREE !

I believe I gave that a 10... but I'm just weird like that.

Haha. Now i'm shooting for a posthumous 10 vote. That 'ribbony' comment really stung. ;)

It is very much like being assimilated into a cult. Don't drink any koolaid though.

I thought it was bad enough to submit an entry and Nobody comments.

Now we're talking about posthumous comments?

Yes, the AMA has ruled that a comment from me can be listed as a cause of death for a photo....

p.s. to DeSousa, I have only just begun to fight! (or whine?)
