Ya know this just really sucks....I have the circles and OOF, my subject is clear and I can not figure out how this could score below a 5.5 or more.....I think Im going to stop trying so hard!

I have voted almost 50% of the submissions. I didn't enter this one though since I don't have a good entry and I know the number of submission is going to be huge, as definitely a lot of Guru is going to enter this one.

Just one comment after seeing hundreds of shot:
As the title stated: bokeh, many entries were showing very beautiful objects. From flowers to birds, bees to butterflies. But my votes will go to those who has successfully turn the bokeh into the object, not the flowers, not the birds. What I'm trying to say is, when I first look at the shot, my focus shall be on the bokeh, not on the object, and the bokeh shall be attractive enough, if not more attractive than the object. I know it's easier to be said than done, but this is what I feel.

This is one of the great example. When I first look at the photo, the attention is not on the flowers itself, but the circles (bokeh) above the flower.

translation please?


My last twenty entries have scored over six. Previously I had never put together more than, I think, eight. That streak is very likely at and end. Oh well. :)

5.75

Wow! Just when I thought my scores could never get any worse....I've got a lock on the brown for this one! (And not one DNMC or comment for that matter.) It's actually a cool photo, too - and in focus, etc.

I'm going on holiday from challenges for awhile...hmm, maybe I'll take up smoking, lol!
09/05/2007 02:04:05 PM · #118
I started on 6.0 after one vote and 6.5 after two - now I'm down to 5.02xx after 40 votes. I don't think I can bring myself to vote now.

why is that?

because of this I think you should vote! everyone is suffering the ever changing scores. not to vote will only keep the votes on a low because of those %$#@ trolls. We need serious voters just to get an honest score. not one made by jealous people or sore losers.
09/05/2007 02:36:53 PM · #121
I just finished voting and gave tons of 7's, 8's, 9's and even a few 10's. Hope I bring a few scores up :-) (I admit I did give some 4's, 3's and a couple of 2's, but only for photos with no possible interpretation of bokeh or just plain no effort.)

First picture anywhere so I'm happy, esp as there is zero editing. It's precisely what came out of the camera.

I was on the same roll (6 in a row over 6), until I foolishly entered the free study. Sigh. But I seem to be back on the horse, and into dancing banana territory, at least for me....if it holds, this will be a new PB. Woohoo!
