Maybe since this entry is obviously much worse than my last (why did I enter this photo????) I'll actually get some constructive criticism. That would be nice.

Hovering back and forth across a 5. a good shot is not enough, you have to wow people. considering lighting is a weak area of mine, it's not unexpected. hopeful for it to get solidly into the 5+ range though.

higher than what i was expecting, honestly, even so far. i signed up here a long time ago but finally got my butt into gear and started posting with the last challenge (hidden gems). im going to try and consistently enter for a few months at least, which is why i have a mediocre picture up this week. i ran out of time to pull off what i really wanted, and wound up using a "proof of theory" test shot. i still kind of like it, but there is a lot technically wrong with it.

oh, and "hi!"... there goes the first post cherry haha! ive been lurking a bit though and im not too scared... you all seem like a pretty nice bunch...

Just got through with my first round of voting. No wonder my score isn't very good. Everyone else was far more creative. There are A LOT of great entries. My voting on the "hidden treasures" challenge was much easier because I didn't feel a lot of them met the challenge. This time I'm going to have to dig deeper. It's going to be more time consuming to hit that 100% commenting too. Maybe later in the voting.

zorks !!!! straight in at 5.4 now up to 5.67 as ever its a photo that should not win but I really didn't expect it to work at all - I thought it would bomb but my wife made submit it..... there is no predicting this place :-)

cripes !!!! down to 5.6 then 30 minutes later 5.8

It's obvious that some people just vote higher than others. I'm experiencing the same phenomenon. My scores are gradually rising. Last challenge, they gradually dropped almost the entire time. Guess you never can predict it huh?

My last 10 or so votes have all been 7s. Thought I'd post this to have a record before the roller coaster takes off.

One good comment, one not so much. About what I expected.

I will certainly be happy with this... but, however it winds up, it has to be better than my last score!!!

I must have a boring entry this time. I usually have a few comments by now.

Aw, for almost all of yesterday my score was climbing and was above 6 but the last 12 votes have ravaged my score :(

Still on for a PB and hoping that it can push back up to a 6.

Just one nice comment so far.

wow I've never seen a score bounce around as much as mine has this time pretty much swinging between 5.4 and 5.8 I guess as more members votes then the averaging will damnpen down the movement.

I have decided to turn off scores now. I have been doing really well, but have dropped .3 in the last 10 votes or so. Rather than become bitter about a great score, I will just wait it out until next Tuesday.

.... but .... "Try and make it evident that it is artificial." and also the challenge did kinda imply the subject could be the light or not hence the (s).

There are some utterly stunning portraits in this round but in my view they don't quite capture the spirit of the competition.... having said that I'm not voting (don't in rounds I've entered) and non of said portraits should score lower than an average 5 and for a lot of them a score of 5.x is a travesty.

I've said it before but personally I think sub 5 should be reserved for truly badly taken and truly way way way DNMC

Mine dropped by about the same amount, so perhaps we are all sinking together.

you right, I can feel the cold water on my feet :(

Looks like another "meh" entry for me on something that I expected would be solidly into the 5's. Last comment from a new member was a vague question that made no sense to me.
