Well this didn't start as a test, but the results were definitely intriguing... the photo in question is this:
Note the scores in the Voting Breakdown... 15 1's. I recall reading previous threads on voting that some people just give 1's to images that do not meet the challenge, but I clearly hope this is not the case for this image for obvious reason :) ... anyway...
Perhaps it might be the image quality? Well, it is in relatively good focus, decent lighting, and over sharpened... nothing that merits a 1, or a 10 for that matter. Personally, if I were to give a score range for my own image, I would say it should not have gotten anything under a 3 and nothing over an 8, and it landed exactly where I thought it would land (about a 5).
I'm not trying to make a point, but I'm just giving yet another piece of evidence on what might be going on with the voting (whether it supports any idea or not is hard to say). |
