Right Angles was my first challenge and after hearing all the voting woes and complaints for the last week or so I wasn't sure what to expect. My submission received it's fair share of 1s and 2s but the curve was pretty much right where I'd expected it to be or perhaps even a bit higher. The comments I received were helpful, thanks everyone.
My personal goal was to make the top 50% and it felt good to hit that. I'm looking forward to improving in the weeks ahead.

It feels nice to have your concept of meeting the challenge validated by a high rank (or a rank you expect). But an unsolicited advise is this: don't get fixated with the rankings. Otherwise, you'll be in constant conflict with the 1-givers, the topic police, and the quirky ones with a baggage full of hang-ups.
i have noticed a huge gap between votes with people with cameras and w/out cameras... it always akes me wonder.. doo the people w/out cameras not understand whats good or bad?? take a look at this... //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=32206
now im not saying my picture is very good.. but people without cameras gave it a "3"... and people with gave it a 6.3... thats a huge discrepancy

It's possible, given that the average was 3.000, that only one person w/o camera voted on your shot.
It looks like it may have been one person without a camera that voted on it since the vote average is 3.00, not likely two or three without cameras all voted 3's.

I think that's very good advice and I totally agree. I use the goal to give myself something to shoot for. The rankings are just a way to gauge where others felt I fell within all the submissions. It's very helpful to look at the pictures on either side of mine. What did they do better? What did I do better? What can I learn.
