I had missed this thread earlier so I am late for the train.
I had 17 entries for 2010 I have just one in the 5.9 category that had played in the low, low 6's but dropped in the last few votes; the scrubber didn't get it over the hill.
Still very happy with the photo and the mood captured
I checked about two minutes before the closing of the recent sentinel challenge and it stood at 6.02 and I shut down my laptop and bragged to my wife that I got my first 6. The next morning I checked to see how far down it placed...
... it finished at 5.9850

Danced the line with this all week. I was hoping to finish above a six. I was warned that studio portraits with white backgrounds don't do well, so I actually felt pretty good about this score.
A positive story - was under 6 all the time during voting and in the last minute someone really nice must have given it a 10 as it jumped just over. I didn't even noticed till I looked at my profile later - WOW, where did this 6 come from? :)
BUT this one was exactly opposite:
was over 6 all the time and went under in the last minutes. Someone gave it a 2 just before turnover :(
A more likely explanation for the jump to over 6 is that some lower votes got "scrubbed" during rollover. Ditto, for higher votes in the second instance.
