Challenge: Guess Your Score (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark III
Lens: Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
Location: Banff National Park Canada
Date: Jan 25, 2015
Aperture: f16

 Well that was an interesting Challenge, I had originally called this 9 to evoke comments and had expected many more harsh ones than I received, there has never been a nine , ever, in over 2000 challenges. I found it interesting that this challenge ended up to be all about raising the number of comments which is what I had wanted to do. as far as extending the voting I know it lowered scores, for me at least, and maybe if they extended it long enough everybody would end up with the same score. Thank you everyone for your comments

For what it's worth, all of my votes and comments were in before the extension.

Congratulations on your ribbon! It was a fun ride!

Pretty scene but heavy on the blue toning. I'm thinking DPC will forgive with a 5.9
 02/08/2015 06:25:54 PM
Very nice. A touch of humility might help. Vote and guess ...6
 02/08/2015 05:03:33 PM
Beautiful blues - given the darkness, I might like the composition better without the stump on the right. I am there, though, and it's cold. Gave this a nine. Guess it will get a 7
 02/08/2015 03:18:41 PM
ha. you are out there either too early or too late! I'm freezing, and wish I had stayed home. 6 for making me feel. I suspect you won't get more than six because dpc'rs don't like the dark.

Nice panorama. The blue is so strong as to seem tinted. Probably a 6.1.

The stump being included doesn't help it much in my opinion. Without it I'd say six point two, but with I'd guess 5.7

Nice scene but not a 9 overall. 6.6
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This will end up high (not that high), I predict 6.32. Good use of the image size but some might want to see more of the foreground object. Love the color.

ahum 6.25
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 05:21:33 AM
I think 9 is a bit high (LOL) but I think this could be a top image. It appears to be what DPC likes in general. Also high marks from me.

I guess 6.542

This is among a relatively small number of images that I think will score well. 6.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 07:18:22 PM
I like the prickly beast in the foreground. 6.3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 11:59:53 AM
I gave it a seven. Guessing a 6.7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 05:49:32 AM
Beautifully presented, this sort of work does well - not 9-well though!!

I think you'll wind up around 6.8
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice light and mountains. Looks cold. 5.924
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This was one of my 7's. The deep blues are lovely, but I just was not in love with the crop. I think the horizon right in the middle of the image, and then with the mountains quite small in comparison to the sky and the lake water - it just didn't work as am image that totally wowed me. Good, but not a landscape shot that gave me lots of emotion.
 02/05/2015 11:06:53 PM
beautiful landscape. The trunk in the foreground is distracting - more emphasis on that or leave it. And I'm missing more clarity and/or texture on the mountains and woods - 6 from me and I predict 6.32
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 02:14:27 PM
Beautiful, yes, and I love the tree trunk 'character' in the foreground. But I think nine is a bit optimistic. Eight from me, my prediction for your average score is 7.2202
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 09:43:25 AM
well shot of my type,,,,,wery cool,,,,but probably ends in 6 - ,,,my guess
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 09:26:51 AM
Gorgeous scene. Love the panorama comp. 9 is a bit high though. I estimate 6.87 though so I award you with an 8.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 09:10:44 AM
7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 05:33:49 AM
a little over-reaching, but that's not a bad thing.
I figure a 6.33 for this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 03:16:53 AM
I'm guessing you got the avg vote wrong, since no one has ever scored that high.

I'm guessing around 6.45 for this, pleasantly done just a little soft.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 06:59:45 PM
The power of suggestion? I love this image, one of my favorite in the challenge. I rated it a 9, but not sure the voters will go that high, there are always trolls to bring a score down. 7.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:53:26 PM
I totally agree. A 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 02:06:36 PM
Nice image, but so very very blue. If that's what you were going for, excellent! 5.56
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 02:00:53 PM
6.211 (I gave it a seven)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 12:35:15 PM
I voted before looking at titles, now commenting.

I think it's wishful thinking to score a 9 overall, but I gave it an 8 :)

My guess: 7.12
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 11:57:12 AM
I gavve this an 8, I would have given a 9 if the mountains could be brightened up or seen just a bit more, I know the mountains can be this blue I have seen it many times and I love it, I think the blueness took out the beauty of these moutains being too dark.

I am guessing a 5.5 for the avg DPC
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:30:14 AM
This is a rather splendid photo though I don't think I have ever seen a photo get a final average score of 9. I predict this will score 6.8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 06:39:59 AM
Has there ever been a 9? Great location and panoramic feel. Seems like the range of color could be expanded - opening the shadows to bring the foreground to be more prominent. I also like the cool tone but it may be a bit too much color for my taste. 6.14
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 05:43:23 AM
Would have scored well in the Lik challenge. I predict 6.0.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 03:26:50 PM
Now I am in a dilemma and can simply not guess the vote of the majority but I doubt that you'll get what you imagined

Perhaps 6.3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 01:30:27 PM
Pretty cool landscape I like the sky but the dead tree is a bit distracting.
Maybe it's the darkness of the image but to me it looks more morbid than dynamic. Sorry but I'm three points lower than your guess.
Back to post my guess. 5.55
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 12:46:19 PM
The title of your image won't help your score. Of course it's not a 9 and I'd say that from what I can see, you could get much more from this landscape. Composition is very unbalanced. In my opinion voters will reward this one more than it deserves, so 6.20
 02/03/2015 11:26:00 AM
wouldn't be out of place but I think in the high 6.73. But I have been wrong befoe

Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. This is one of my top five in this Challenge and I gave you a nine just like your title. I predict that you will finish at 6.688 and it should be a ribbon contender.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 09:18:12 AM
Very lovely. I'm not much of a landscape fan, but I'm liking the treatment -- it makes it more interesting. I'm guessing a 6.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 08:00:41 AM
Nice but I find a bit too blue. Maybe a bit too dark. 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 07:50:27 AM
The feeling is "cold" and would score high in a specific challenge for that.
I do not believe it deserves a 9 as final score. A 6.1 would be great already
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/02/2015 01:08:08 PM
6 This a beautiful location, and the time of day is stirring, but I feel an overall flatness -- the mountains on the left, and the expanses of ice and water. The partial mountains bracketing the image do not at all add to the scene. I wanted to like this picture more.
 02/02/2015 07:49:37 AM
Wow. 9 without hesitation
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/31/2015 06:30:17 AM
Well, stupendous landscapes ARE the surest way to a high score. Quite optimistic, however.

Perfect monotone for the subject matter. Nicely balanced.
