Stop with the flattery already people, you're pushing my score up. 3.62 now.

@

rick13601, that's an awesome delusion ;) I'm not twisted enough though. I'm just bent.

You won't get my brown with that score. I just got a comment from

eyewave that compounds my achievement even further. Rarely is a challenge so satisfying...

Well I got my first comment telling me that I confused curves with twisted and that basically because I used curves for my image I did not meet the challenge description. I don't mind getting a bad score on a bad image but I do mind getting voted down because people are not reading the challenge description *sigh*

Reminds me of the disaster that was the "warm colors" challenge. Lots of good entries got killed for "not conveying warmth".

Not fair, just went up to 3.8. But then, I haven't received a comment from Oliver yet, perhaps he hasn't seen it yet. You never know! I figure if I'm going to do that poorly, I'd rather have the dubious honour of the brown, than to simply languish in low score limbo...

Well, I am in this challenge and I read the description and I am commenting on everyones.

So bad spelling and typos here we come.

my image was a casualty of that 'warm colors' disaster ...

Peter, Iâ��d compete with you but you'd have to spot me a full point to get me to bet :-)

I'm wallowing in mediocrity again.

Another shot that I thought was really good which is apparently mediocre at best. I'll never figure this place out.

It's much harder to spot you. Congratulations on your blending skills.

Some call it "blending skills", others may call it "variety in style and subject".

These people not reading the challenge description are a bit annoying!
Guess some of them think you should only shoot rope-like twisted shapes for this challenge?

At first glance of the challenge title I wanted to shoot something twisted in a kinky way, but after reading the description went after more abstract image.
Think I made a mistake, people don't seem to get this one, maybe it looks too photoshoped or something(even though its not at all)...so the score now goes:

I just thought up a theory for some of the lower scores. The voters may be "normal". I think to enjoy "twisted" photos, you may need to be "twisted" yourself. It's just a theory. My photo currently is scoring a 4.7. That's the normal way of looking at it. Those of us who are twisted will see that my score is 7.4.

Then I should know if I'm twisted or not after the challenge! ;)

Bugger. Last 3 votes sent my score soaring up to 3.85, lol. This has actually turned out to be quite a hoot for me. Don't know what I was afraid of last time I scored this low!

Don, where you at? Still no chance of me stealing the brown from you?

Well this challenge teaches me not to enter curves into a Twisted title (despite the description allowing curves). I think it's safe to assume that voters don't always read the description.

rinac .. your brown is safe but not by much LOL I'm sitting at a 4.3919.
