@kenskid:

Your cries are being heard across the other threads as well.
I am sure this contest is a matter of life and death for you.
Bravo!!

I have no problem with your voting. You have a right to do it your way.
As long as I NEVER EVER see you complain about a score above a 3.2. Better not complain about any score of 5. Since by your own standards, a score like that is WAY above average.

makes me think the single tuesday challenge might be a good idea, i know i've been handing out some comments too, pleased to see 6 comments on a mediocre image even though there are 200+ entries.

You're right...a fairly high number of comments on mine as well. Making me feel guilty as I've really not contributed much in the way of comments recently. :-{

So get on it! I could use another comment! LOL!

Finally got through the voting! Lots of fairly mediocre shots (mine included) plus some truly outstanding shots. Creative shots in harsh outdoor lighting, plus wind, little composition control, etc. make outdoor natural flower shots difficult. Kudos to those who created some truly excellent images!

Stats: You have rated 217 of 217 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 2 images (1%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 5.9263.

Now to give some comments.

OK, went back and gave some comments. Gave some comments to my top picks (easy) and then went to some of my lower picks to offer some of my opinions on improvements, which I normally am not real comfortable with except in extreme cases. Hope I don't get slammed for those. Sometimes what I may see as a flaw may actually be the photographers artistic intent (such as choice of focus area or DOF).

On the plus side, I did raise my average score given to 5.9539 after a closer look at some.

For a mediocre average, this seems to be pulling in a fair amount of comments. Mixed positive and negative opinions. It's been interesting. I'm glad I entered this one.

Loving my comments. If every "Open" challenge from now on gets this many, then I am super in love with the switch. Yay comments!

After commenting and voting on all the images for this challenge, I see the flaws on my image and realize that I'd give myself a semi harsh comment if it wasn't my entry. Hooray for learning!

just finished all my comments...hopefully I didn't offend anyone...some really weird stuff went on while I was commenting...I made a comment on one picture and I advanced using the arrows and my comment "moved forward" to the next photo... weird...soooo if your comments don't make any since...hmmm

This is the second time I've heard of this happening today.. Hopefully it's a bug that'll be fixed soon! Your comment on my image made perfect sense though. Thanks!

Lots of 5 votes from me. I'll go back and take another look later.

first, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. quite a daunting task and all who managed to complete 100% or even a few, it's still been a pleasure receiving and making comments in this challenge. the one i got from you made me smile in particular.

second - i wonder if that bug you describe is what danieletagliabue fell victim to in the sunrise/sunset thread, as he appears to have made the same comment dozens of times....

Haha, FPX, you made me laugh there.. Don't know if it was supposed to be fun or not, but a couple of muscles did move around my lips.

nothing backhanded at all! i really appreciated your comment, it was very high praise, to me. i've gotten critical comments in the past that i've learned to appreciate also, as they usually make me see a flaw i either didn't see or didn't want to see. thank you very much for the time you take.

I wasn't smiling because of what FPX wrote to you, it was about danieletagliabue's copy-pasted comment on several of the sunrise/susnset-pictures. (I am sorry if I offended anyone, not my intention.)

thank you josefine i didn't even realize why janine might have thought there was a joke...it was the giggle about the copy/pasted comments.

and about that, i truly do think there's a chance that it's what janine and one other commenter reported happening, and if not, well then i guess there was a little joke about it embedded in there :)

Gah... It's not a studio shot >.<
