Um, that's an 84 out of 100.
84%.
Now, granted, the Swiss educational system is way better than the US, but I think 84 is much more than respectable. Even in CH. :mrgreen:
And you shouldn't be comparing the score against others.
You should be comparing it to the judge's vision of what a perfect 10 score would encompass. And not all judges have the same vision/standards.
All it means is those are areas in which you maybe could improve your technique. Or firm up your design vision. I didn't have time to translate the whole thing.
It's meant as constructive criticism, not negative.
Not to be taken personally at all.
Maybe Sharon Schamber gets 10's (OK, I'm sure she would) but the rest of us mere mortals would be thrilled with an 8.4 scoring.
