Did a quick thumbnail peek... interesting the different interpretations.
That's why I avoid abstract type challenges ;) Many varied opinions on what is and what is not abstract mean the scores are all over the place from the off - I love abstract art but for the life of me cannot get my head around what DPC voters want for a challenge like this...

Then just do what you like and don't try to please others. I seem to do better when I please myself with it first. I had two potential entries for this challenge, and I did enter the one I thought would have more mass appeal, but I like them both.

That's fine but then I get frustrated lol I don't know why ;)
Steve I am messaging you an image I considered entering, care to give me your feedback?
Lately I have not entered a couple of challenges with images that I specifically shot for given challenges, but I just wasn't happy with the final image - I used to enter them anyway but I am a bit more selective over what I enter these days.

That's where you and I differ. I enter junk photos most of the time just because, why not. Right now, if this continues, I'm in the running for all time bottom 10 lowest scores on DPC. That takes real talent.

We all do. We are pleased with what we have done, then the court of mass opinion tells us it is poor or mediocre. So we are frustrated. I had a pair of low 5's running in voting at the same time as my recent 7+ ribbon.
Also remember that a mid-pack entry on DPC is the stuff that will have your friends and family wowing over what a good great photographer you are.

You're not even close. Your 10th-worst score is a 5... I have over 100 in the 4's, and I'm not even close myself. Check out Charliebaker and Whiterook, to name just two...

Charliebakerowns the title. He has 10 pictures in the lowest 120 scoring entries ever on DPC, (and 11 in the bottom 121), with an average of 2.267 and a range of 2.083 - 2.530, including two tied at 2.401.
senoj has 3 in the bottom 120 (2.344, 2.389, 2,478)

A big come down from the nice start. But I don't get bothered by low scores, I just get excited by high ones. That's pretty much how I see life in general -- I don't sweat the small stuff. I'm lucky to be that way, it makes life so enjoyable.

One would think that it should be easier to end up on the lowest rated photos list than the highest rated one, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Well, judging from the scores being posted, it seems that abstracts are getting the amount of love they usually do. This could be a top 10, if the voting trend holds.
I hope it was a good comment. I've been trying to be painfully honest lately. I've found it's helping my 'inner eye'. Hey, maybe that will be good for the zen challenge eh?
