No brown... only forth from the bottom and not yet personal worst!

Before I ask please note that I don't care about the score, I am just curious.

So, I can see a Z (the diagonal) and a π ("pi" also a letter, albeit not English but quite well know worldwide)'

I still like it but was it that bad?

Cheers

I can see the z and pi as pointed out in your title, but they are more incidental and neither of them are the focus of an image that is supposed to be directly about a letter. Just my instant thought.

For me the chain was the focus and I had a very hard time getting any letters out of that...(I did not vote) I truly struggled to find any letters...I did get the Pi but it still was NOT the focus of your photo (IMHO)

I do see how you framed it and created a nifty title. I see all the letters, but the pi is out of focus. I guess the photo is so busy that they don't stand out, maybe?

Thanks.

Might be that I watched too much Academy Awards and Django, chains and PI and got dizzy...

Cause I stopped drinking a while ago :P

even after reading your title i still had to look to hard, im a typical viewer, lazy. you need to spell it out for me.

I will confess to giving a 3 to this. I don't often score photos so low but looking at it again now the photo still doesn't gel with me. I did spot the Z shape in the chain after a while but I just can't find anything appealing about the photo. It honestly just looks like it was taken by accident while carrying the camera down the steps. Apologies if this sounds harsh but that is my honest opinion.

Last week I was kind of digital voting, 3s for below average and 8 for above. I gave yours a 3 because I didn't find it really did anything for me or draw me in at all.

I saw the letters.

It's just kind of painful to look at when you have a headache and your eyes don't focus well... sorry...

I was just about to write something similar. It hurts my eyes, too (seriously).

Buy the time I found something that was in focus I forgot what letters I was looking for.

Hard to tell, Tiberius. There's a U, a W, and an M in there too.
But, I didn't vote in this Challenge.

Mine was an obvious L, but it scored badly too.
:(

Oh! Thanks guys for your time.

The shot was not accidental and I did take my time to compose it (sort of cause I was on a business trip with limited time...)

The idea was that them chain and the z-ed wall was leading to a misterious letter which definetely was accidental.

I do see a chain of Pi symbols OOF way down the steps, so I did get what you were after. I didn't think it worked out especially well, though...
03/06/2013 11:52:36 AM · #15
I voted a 4 (including an extra point for the pi, quite original). Problem is the first yard of the chain is in focus and after that everything get blurred. Probably I would have done it in reverse: start with an out-of-focus chain leading you to the in-focus pi.
