getting only a measly 3 comments in total after nearly 100 votes.
This is sad, and...
I want to blame it on something (other than my uninspiring photo), I wanna blame it on the people who complained about receiving "upsetting" comments from voters! Darn it, you people! ;)
That's exactly right...I did gripe about getting one word comments, but come on people "upsetting" comments???? The way I take this site is a learning process...some comments might make your day, and others might make you want to stop taking photos. How about from now on out we don't complain about what kind of comments we are getting...and just be happy if we get more than 3 in 100+ votes...
Try it down below 6 and the comments start flowing...
Until you get well below 6, and the comments dry up again :P
Hehehe. Well expect comments from me. I will try my darnest to comment on all. Such inspiration are these entries. The problem is that it takes me a long time to vote as I also look up the photographer being "tributed". I've already seen great ideas and images for the future ;)
I started off with 8.3, 2 comments and 2 favorites after 28 votes. But it's been dropping steady since. I had more than 7 all day yesterday and now down to 6.5 with 10 comments.
Does anyone want a picture of me as I fly (read: flapping my arms) towards the sea from Golden Gate? It could be a great entry for the free-study challenge... :)
But seriously - I'm very happy with 6.5! This is way over my average score on DPC.
Nice job Ricci - wish I could be as dilligent as you.
I live in the mountains in Norway and only have dial-up connection - and a bad one as such :( Norway is 98% covered with high-speed but I live a little too remote.
Voting is like pulling teeth as each picture takes forever to load but I try to at least do the minimum on most challenges. But I do comment on most of those as that doesn't take longer than it takes for anyone else once the picture has loaded.
You have rated 18 of 188 images (10%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 10 images (5%) in this challenge.
OK, so this is gonna take me awhile, but I will get through and vote on every submission. And I *am* looking up the referenced photogs to get a feel for their work if I'm not familiar with it to begin with. What a fun challenge!
Oh, and yes, my score continues to go downward, but I have 6 comments after about 100 votes. Not bad!
Try it down below 6 and the comments start flowing...
I wish that would be the problem DrAchoo...but am pushing to hit a 5.1...I know that's not horrible...but 3 comments...geez....I want to know what I can improve on...

Maybe it's not you need improving but that your photo didn't hit the right DPC mainstream vote.
I'll be lucky to hit a 5.00..The main thrust of the comments are "Great Photo...Too bad about the...." Where the "..." is on purpose but tends to get voted down here. Which is o.k.
I'm just saying that people tellin you what you should have done to get them to vote higher and something being wrong are two different things :-)
As predicted in an earlier thread, I am finding that my score (and the quality of comments received) increases with people that actually go look up my selected photographer on the web. Subsequently, I am getting tagged by those who have never seen this person's work. Bummer. It's again leading me to the "make a pretty picture and don't worry about the challenge description" argument. (sigh)
The comments I have received from those that have reviewed this person's work are some of the BEST comments I have ever received! They are well thought out, poignant, analytical and helpful!! Thank you for making the effort!
