Not bad - to me, anyway.
Very first votes were a 6. Started dropping. Keeps fluctuating up and down a minute bit.

What is really annoying is that it started off amazingly well, 7.4, then rapidly dropped to about 6.9 ..... usual sort of early voting pattern. I would then have hoped it would stabilise, but it has been gently dropping every time I look since :(

Better than usual, but hopefully on the way up (it's been rising for half the day)

Going by the comments, if I had kept my original crop, I might be doing much better. I'm looking forward to posting that one after the challenge. I don't think I've had so many comments, so early on, especially with an average score such as this.

Hard for me to feel much better about this. I've climbed a little over the last day or so, and I have seen an awful lot of really interesting shots while voting, and am left slightly amazed by (but happy with) my score.

My earlier opinion stands: this was the challenge that was simultaneously the most fun and educational.

yeah, and I really cannot stand cat pictures. Should have a challenge: your cat (no, not your best pussy photo :) would cause to much confusion) so people can get this out of their system and stop annoying me.

I got a request as well. Is that fairly common?

I'm getting the worst scores I've ever had here! LOL it's definetly my favorite photo out of the stuff I've entered. 7 comments thus far. Some shining reviews and some "you suck" (paraphrased).

Not a great score by no means, but I'm going up, slowly but steadily. I'm used to going the other way.

started out good, but been gently drifting down since. Very positive comments. Tried something new/different and am pleased with how it turned out.

Especially since that's the exact opposite of what you just said in the last post. ;-)

I'm gonna get the last place this time =) Although i knew it was coming, tried to be original. Getting very helpful comments like 'yuck' and 'i am confused'... Although a few from people that get it too.

Interestingly, the bw entry which i like is doing 3 points worse than the heroes shot towards which i don't have any special feelings at all, that was a single snapshot, not even a thought out picture. *shrug* i don't think i will ever get it... although that's not really my goal.

Well, I just dropped .3 in one vote due to some clown questioning whether my photo was black & white or not. Funny since I did not create a duotone image.

Look out everyone who's photo is not quite black & white enough, you're going to get a "1" too apparently.
