ok sorry I have to vent... I thought I did a great job "capturing the essence of this radical decade." granted the picture isn't perfect... but I have a 15 yr old kid knocking it down saying it was his lowest score he ever gave. I would respect his opinion a bit more if he was at least 30, but for Pete's sake he wasn't even born in the 80's or before. His judgement is what he saw in the picture and not the picture in itself. *rolls eyes*

I am thinking this is going to be a low scoring challenge. I haven't voted yet but I have looked at all the images and I really did not see anything that I think would end up with a final average score over 7.

I went pretty far outside the box in this challenge, so I am not surprized with my relatively low score. Actually, I am a bit surprized it is not lower given that two out of my four comments simply state that they don't get it :)

I usually like to check these score threads - especially if I'm in that challenge - this one has been very quiet though. I wonder why?

I agree, this has been a very slow challenge. The votes are coming in ones and twos, it's like pulling teeth!!!

Good For You!!!
At this number of votes - you should finish with at least a 5.0 - which is very good for a 3rd challenge entry!

mine was rising in a slow but very pleasing manner until the fashion challenge went into voting :( looks like this is where I'll end up...oh well I think it is one of my better images as I really took the time to compose it and check lighting and such.

I still can't grasp the fact that people born in the 90's are teenagers now. Where did the time go?

I've had no more than a dozen votes in the last 24 hours :(

It's like watching paint dry. Only a bit over 2 days left on this one!

I agree GIS boy (Matt) - the bulk of the votes came in the first couple of days - and now just one vote every few hours or so. With that score of yours you should be looking at a ribbon! I don't think it will be a very high scoring challenge. I'm hoping to be in the top 20 (maybe)

So congrats ahead of time - and thanks for your comment on my entry - I think you were the first one to leave one (though now it shows a bag head - you must have switched that on after you left the comment)

oh yea - here's my update - it's pretty much stayed this way since the first day - it reached a 6.000 for a little bit on the second day but not since. It wants to be a 6 so bad!!!!!

edit to say I'm hoping to be in the top 20 - not top 10 (that's probably very not likely)

I know! I've had entries where I'm lucky to get 2 comments all week!
All but 2 of the comments are pretty good also - mostly short and sweet. 2 of them "don't get it" which is fine - because 24 of them "do get it" LOL

It's so nice to have so many comments though - I do appreciate it :)

Thanks for the ribbon comment - if only! They are so damn hard to get, I would be pretty surprised if I got one with 6.6 however. If I finish around the top 5 I will be very, VERY happy! There are some really good, clever and well executed images in this one.

I'm trying to work out which photo is yours but you have me stumped! Yeah, I switched to the 'bag head' a few days ago to avoid any potential drama during the voting period. ;)

Good luck with your top 10 finish.

Cheers Matt

I've been pretty impressed with the 80's challenge. Brought back a lot of memories even if I was just a kid during the decade.

I'm trying to comment on all of them but we'll see.. I haven't even made it to 20% with my voting yet (I'm slow!).

Good luck to y'all and I hope my comments don't come off as harsh.

:)
