Challenge: Guess Your Score (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Nikon D810
Location: My driveway
Date: Jan 28, 2015
Aperture: 9.0
ISO: 80
Shutter: 1/60
Date Uploaded: Jan 28, 2015

 Converting to Digital Negative, then load into Camera Raw. Increase BLACKS, counter with FILL LIGHT, sharpen, some noise reduction, resize. No border this time.

I'll never forget the scene in the '60's when Barnabas encased a man into a brick enclosure.

I predict 4.2.

"Unworthy though I am to untie his hosen," yet will I predict the low song of wallering: 2.2.

I agree with your 4.2 for a pattern with no particular direction, or maybe that's the point
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 07:18:49 PM
I seem to have hit a blank wall here. Gave it four - predict 4.6.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 07:03:52 PM
I love the potential pattern to be extracted from this kind of subject but the shot misses a clear point of view. I think 4.1.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 06:39:05 PM
I predict a 4.8 but will vote higher.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 04:41:22 PM
I think you're pretty close with 4.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 02:42:28 PM
I think your score may hit a wall ;) Your guess sounds about right. 4.0
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 12:17:15 PM
Simple but not interesting

My guess is 4.225
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 10:51:41 AM
good luck 3.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 09:30:35 AM
The Sharpeness is there. I give 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 09:12:08 AM
I don't unterstand the title and that's probabaly the clue to your motif?
Sorry - 3 from me and I predict 4.2 just like you
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 04:53:45 AM
I'm afraid that this is lost on me. I predict 4.7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 11:50:21 PM
Impassive indeed. 4.1
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 04:57:10 PM
I gave it a three. Guessing a 4.4.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 10:32:14 AM
I guess you'll be around 3.42 - folks will expect a bit more going on.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 05:23:34 AM
Interesting photo with just a wall, I keep looking for something :) 4.89
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I can feel the slap and roughness of cold concrete against the hand- the shoulder blades and wandering hands of young lovers against the wall in the night, the blank slate for which the viewer can imagine, dream...
your prediction may be correct, but in a just world, no less than 6.3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 11:55:39 PM
Who is Barnabas? a cinderblock designer? you've captured quite a bit in a plain wall, different colored blocks and mortar shades, dark to ligh to dark is always good in a composition, its quite sharp with lots of detail in the blocks and different textures in the blocks. good luck. I'll guess at 5.23 Good Luck

I don't think DPC will like the skewed perspective. It will disorient them. They can tolerate very little discomfort. For the same reasons, I will bump you to a six. 3.9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 07:35:34 PM
First pass I gave this three. Drab colours, out of whack perspective and so boring I could only manage that three. However, on coming back to comment, and look a little longer, I can see several fascinating faces and figures in the bricks so I have to bump you up to five.
I still think you might struggle to reach your title though, because those fascinating beings take a while to become apparent. I predict a 3.805 average.

You may be over-estimating a little. Totally uninteresting image. 4.01
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 01:38:07 PM
What's that? Not interesting. 3.7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 12:30:54 PM
The detail! The scope! The Sheer Audacity!! BRILLIANT! ;)

I think that all comments here ARE being directed to a brick wall! ;p

I predict a 3.58
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 12:10:12 PM
3.965 (I gave it a four) I just don't find it very interesting. Perhaps if there were a focal point for the viewer... like a plant spounted in the crack?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 10:38:19 AM
As walls go, this is a rather nice wall. I estimate the final score to be 4.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 12:42:26 AM
I think it will take a 4.2 earthquake to tumble this wall. Think you might be headed for the brown ribbon with this one - 2.9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:44:38 PM
Just a wall?? A 3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:25:29 PM
a brick wall? LOL I will see your 4.2 but I voted a five to help even that out a bit LOL
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 06:37:45 PM
Nice texture....? 3.95
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 05:40:44 PM
I voted before looking at titles, now commenting.

I predict you may make it a bit lower. Not much more boring that staring at a blank brick wall. I gave you a 3.

My guess: 3.78
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:27:48 PM
4.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 11:24:45 AM
Clearly 2 dimensional yet the lines are parallel with the top of the frame but not the bottom. So perhaps a tribute to the third dimension in a quite minimal way. 4.265

I don't know what the Barnabas collection is. Cinder blocks as art? I like it. Nice colors and detail. I like that there is nothing except cinder blocks in the picture. I could see this framed and on my wall. I gave it a seven. I predict 4.4.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 09:17:28 PM
I think you are overstimating this image, but a lot of the time people don't vote truthfully on boring images which leave nothing to the imagination. However saying that you might get around 4.2 but you deserve a lot lower, grin!

3.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 06:46:11 PM
Hummm... a cinder block wall tilted about 5 degrees.
It has to mean something, doesn't it? Or it means nothing.
WAY over my head.
My guess is 4.23
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 05:56:25 PM
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score well, I gave you a four and I think that you will finish at 4,2366
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 05:53:45 PM
4.5... hard to guess. Well, that's exactly what we see - just a wall
