Well I was really annoyed that I only got to spend an hour wandering round taking photos for this challenge, wasn't thrilled with my entry so tried to find time to re-shoot but couldn't. Now with my score I'm really glad I was so busy :)... so far my best ever score, but I'm fully expecting it to drop half a point.
I was pleased with my score until I updated it. Yow! I guess the first people were overly generous :) Looks like it'll be another mediocre mid-range score.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO PLEASE YOU VOTERS??!!! Phew, there, that's off my chest. Sigh...there must be a formula somewhere, I'm sick of looking at 5's ;-)
I haven't really got the formula down pat - but the consensus seems to be something like this - make your image bright, happy, sharp and full of contrast - preferably involve insects, frogs, waterdrops, or moto-cross riders :P.

Of course if all that fails... Burn the stuffing out of it!

Yeah, I'm trying to do the bright, happy shots but I'm more dark and moody. That doesn't seem to score well here ;-) I am pretty good at burning the stuffing out of things though, so there's hope for me yet :-D
Once again subtlety and purity, simple serenity, lose out to the WOW factor. So it goes. 5.133 and counting...
I would have done WOW if I could have done WOW, but the entire challenge period was bleak winter light except for this one tiny window of time just before sunset one day when a little weak, warm light filtered through.
I got up this morning in a last minute attempt to change my entry (to use my P-a-D image from last monday) but was too late. I got to work and after about 25 votes I was on around 6.2 but now after 40 votes I'm battling to hold onto 5.5.
I really need to stop leaving things till the last minute.
2 nice comments from people that is important i feel. score is not bad either, my top 3 pics will all be shifted around after this challenge Im doing better now at long last.... thanx Mac
