Same shoes here, dropped 0.16 overnight in less than 10 votes. And my score is still good, but considering where it was when I went to bed last night it's a little frustrating.

Confirming a similar drop of 0.16 between vote 71 and vote 84.


strangely coincidental.
i dropped .16 in the last 10 or so votes too.

Sadly the dropping has continued since I posted and it's now 0.22 gap between yesterday evening and today:(

Likewise. Days of steady, encouraging score performance undone in just a few hours :-( From 7.1 to 6.9, and dropping. Next stop, 6.8 -- unless the bleeding can be staunched.


Yup, 6.875 now... I'm not whining, it's a perfectly respectable score, but it's nevertheless a shocking plummet for an image that had been so steady.


And now 6.74.... wow...

Just think of us poor souls who had visions of a tiny violin! Now languishing well below that valued mark... I can still dream of a top 50%, though, given the rest of you lofty-heights type folk are falling as well. Might be another "ring" - who knows? You can hope for a bit of a recovery come rollover, perhaps?
05/25/2012 09:44:07 AM · #105
5.81 - 5.68 in 10 votes, booooo

05/25/2012 10:03:54 AM · #106
I spoke too soon, now down to 5.65

In a member challenge? Where you have to have PAID to vote? Seems unlikely... And there aren't enough left in the BYOAKC for this to be tactical voting, I shouldn't think...

Yup. Big drop here, too -- but it seems to be because of an uno-bomber.
05/25/2012 11:17:47 AM · #109
Just made it to my 3rd worst score ever! it can't go any lower (can it). Just as well I wasn't pleased with the shot as well as the voters lol

Down down down down 6.7 to 6.3 in something like 12 votes and still dropping with every vote it seems. People revising their scores downwards?

oh yes...and still only 1 comment which I thank Hahn23 for

Nah, I just voted. Probably explains a lot of the downward scores this morning.

Same. 6.42 down to 6.22.
05/25/2012 11:49:45 AM · #113
lost .11 without a change in the number of votes.

me too - exactly the same. very strange.

Amazingly rapid decline in my score too during the last 10-15 votes. Lets hope we are all in the same boat after several voters who don't care for the style showed their disapproval. Still, if that was the case, would it have been so hard to just not vote on this challenge?
05/25/2012 12:07:45 PM · #116
It appears my recent decline is one among many, but somehow, that doesn't make me feel any better.
05/25/2012 12:09:48 PM · #117
I've been holding steady at 6.4 since monday, although one vote put me down .07 earlier.
05/25/2012 12:51:32 PM · #118
Down over 0.2 in the past 10 votes or so.... Looks like a common drop looking thru the thread but it really does make a person wonder.
05/25/2012 02:11:28 PM · #119
If it's any consolation, mine has been dropping too. From 5.9 to 5.5

I always try to comment on 10-20% but I think I'm going to have to skip out on this one. My score is embarrasingly low and I'm convinced I must not know enough about Ansel Adams to share my opinions..... would those you DO know please fill in for me?

I've always appreciated your commenting "Penny".

I've picked up a thing or two about Ansel Adams along the way from Bear_music and my score and comments suggests that I'm at least on the right track with my image so I'll try and do more commenting this time. :-)

Pleeeese comment anyway. Maybe you'll hit some of those that no one else likes - like mine (which I still like, btw) My score is discouraging, but a random comment would help :)

I love comments, but what I'd really love is for some more encouraging people to vote. If you are the type of person who believes in fudging up a bit when voting on mediocre offerings that have no chance of a top 10 finish because you want to encourage fledgling photographers/hacks like me, please vote! If you believe a 1 or 2 is appropriate punishment for failure to meet exacting but possibly not universally understood demands, please ignore this post.

I like that but you need to add if you see one that looks fairly decent to make sure you give it a moderately good score and if you see one that is great go ahead and feel free to give it a ten

Not setting any records here. Firmly a "with the pack" entry, which is what I expected.
