Just realized that I am never surprised where my images get in the final counting of marks, but I am truly stunned by the lack of response to this spectacular image during the voting. It's as close to what one could call a "flawless" image from a lot of points of view.
The discrepancy between the average marks given by commentators and participants is staggering.
Perhaps the true mark of a great image (piece of art) is not being recognized as such immediately.
Does the majority appreciate mostly the familiar, the nonthreatening, the technically solid work? A question as old as the world.
I had 5 images on my first page and none was among the 10 most admired pictures.

You chose well this image over the outtake. Powerful and ruthless.

Directly from a newspaper shot at Woodstock! It's sad and comical at the same time, dated, lovable and repelling at the same time.
Edited for unforgivable spelling.

This is truly one of the best of this "phase" in your work. Goes to my favorites.
In a nutshell, I love when the image is not abstract.

Totally enchanting! The mystery of this magical photo is enhanced by the bench looking at a different scene that we can just Phantom.

Shadows of Yore

A wonderful shot.
I wish that it was less processed. In a certain way I understand the idea of freezing everything to get the feeling of an image cast in stone. But I still wonder how the original was.

Going into the void. Or perhaps last scene of a play. Very powerful and thought provoking
