Well, I have learned that a good composition and decent editing won't make up for the presence of pre-existing artwork (even if not a literal representation) as far as votes are concerned.

challenge entry:


I am so proud of the editing that I was able to do - I think I did a great job of making certain things pop. I also spent a ton of time on composition and I am satisfied with that as well. I was tempted to get really discouraged with the results here but then remembered what I had written (the resolutions in my profile) and realized that there was a bright side to this --- This will be good to know for the future!! :-)

Don't worry too much. Take mine for example. I was in the 33% range, and the commentors gave me an average of 7 and above. Sometimes you just have to make something that you like, and be proud of it.

I'm still new here. But I am shaking my head over my scores this week. I thought I had a shot at a "6" or so, which would have been my personal best. I Thought I had a clever idea, I thought I executed it well. Maybe people didn't think that paying good money for water that is free from the tap is indulgent?



And what's with the 1's, 2's and 3's ???

Oh dear. This is Deja Vu. My second entry turned out to be my worst scorer. It, too, was basede on water being a luxury in the Affluence challenge. Hmmm! I also, got pretty upset over it at the time.
