Thank you very much Dana and Marissa.
I somehow expected a better result and the comments are not really telling me why.

This was off the charts, I gave it a 10. One of the most subtle and lovingly-rendered images in the challenge.

I totally agree! I also gave this a 10. It really struck me when I saw it. I love the softness...
Errr I guess I gave it a nine... But I really do love it. :)

Thankyou for recognizing my pink kiwi fruit and posting it in the forum ! I guess you and I saw the same appeal in it but the voters didn't. I must admit I thought it would finish in the top 40 or so. Perhaps because a kiwi fruit isn't naturally pink I was marked down ! |

I didn't get to vote in the challenge, but seeing this now I am guessing the low score is due to the fact that it looks red to me rather than pink. I'm sure other people who didnt spend long enough looking at it to notice the pink fluffy coat felt the same way.

I have to agree - I think this was the only 10 I gave out!

Not a bad picture at all, but I think what might have hurt it is that the model bares a strange resembalance to Barbera Streisand (devil spawn) |
Hey - that's a picture of my sister you're talking about! Don't compare her to evil Barbra Streisand!
I was disappointed in how this shot finished. From some of the comments, it seemed people thought that I edited out her body, but it was just a crop of a white shirt and some curve and level adjustment.
It was also my first DQ request! woo hoo! It was validated near the end of the week, but I wonder if it would have finished better had it been validated sooner. Oh well, live and learn...

Thanks aguapreta for giving me a thumbs up!
The pink was the original color but the light changes colors about every 10 seconds.
Hard to believe it came from a burger joint.
Here is what my wife did with it for a project she is working on:

For us non-members who don't count I would have given 10's for these as well. They are both great "mood" shots. |

In a way it's sort of comforting to know that members rate as haphazardly as non-members. As a non-member I would have rated this a 10 as well. What were they thinking?

I agree. Most children's pictures don't show much of the personality. But this little girl has attitude with a capital AT! She would make a terrific model. IMO.

Once upon a time the community at DPC was small enough that scoring a 6 or above was a fine achievement. It meant you hit the challenge for most folks, had a photo that was either technically well done, emotionally charged, or both. And you could take pride in you efforts cause no one looked down on a score of 6 or better.
But now, as the community has grown, the score where you can count yourself as having done a fine job has dropped down to 5.anything, and sometimes even lower! It's just a function of the growth, I think.
So for all the 5.somethings out there, take heart. You didn't "do anything wrong." Your image was just fine, and there is no reason to feel badly about scoring anything above a 5 around here these days. |

That doesn't make us 4.476's feel any better! ;0)

| Thank you Mark and Owen! I did get some real nice comments on that one, and I'm never unhappy when it's over 80th percentile. (Though a ribbon and some top 10 finishes--I've only had one--would be nice ;) |
