Do what I do - consider 5.7 the new 6! I have some excellent comments (and some DNMC comments) and in somewhere above my new consideration of 6. I, too, and delighted with the shot and the response. Scores be damned.

My score is hovering around 5.6ish. With 2 comments that say they don't like widgets, therefore my pic is not very interesting to them. But I like widgets, so I'll probably submit more.

Try pigeons. They're always a hit. :-)

I would just like to say to Scalvert, re his comment on my shot, not everyone has your imagination or the tools to achieve the idea, especially when they're away from home on business.

I would like to say to people, that think that they should be given consideration for not having the imagination, tools, or time, for shots they enter to do one of two things:

1. Take the score and comments you get with consideration to the fact that you didn't have those things and then try better/work on getting the tools/wait until you have more time, and submit again in another challenge and go for a better score.

2. Don't submit until you get some inspiration/tools/time.

What we shouldn't do is rag on people trying their best to give us helpful insight.

Nah, that would be entirely too much pressure! But maybe a pigeon (and other common birds) side challenge?

A little above my average, so that's O.K. Funny the number of comments, some good, some not. Last challenge I got two. At least this one's stirring some thought and some reactions. I'm going to re-shoot this when I have time, and correct all the mistakes.

And maybe I'll stick a pigeon in there, too, just for effect.

I'm sure if I had pigeons in my photo my score would be higher. I'm afraid to think what element they might be tho... :)

I haven't seen any around here lately, so obviously the pigeons Argon.

Pigeons would be the element of SURPRISE!!!!

Unfortunately, that element isn't on the periodic table. DNMC. 1.

Interestingly, my daughter just checked her scores and she is about .4 above me. she'll no doubt have a PB out of this challenge. I told her when we uploaded our entries that this might be the first challenge where she comes in above me. Can I call it, or what?

I am really satisfied and a little shocked by my score. I tried something out of the norm for me and it seemed to pay off. (at least for this challenge)

It took half a bottle of Cuervo(what a Saturday night), but:

You have rated 101 of 101 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 101 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.8317.

I guess Jose made me generous, but there were a lot of fantastic photos in this challenge. Congrats to all!

I won't say everyone got a high vote, but I know I gave out more tens then ever before. Then again, I'm not the most consistant voter. (from challenge to challenge that is)
