I agree with tristalisk. When you are judging self portrait after self portrait (244 in total) and you see a drop of water on a branch (nice picture, nice bokeh and everything), my immediate thought is, 'someone's in the wrong challenge!' Without an explanation, sometimes the title doesn't make sense to the 'ordinary' person whoever the 'ordinary' person is.

Shots like this entered in a Self Portrait comp are risky. You took the risk - and good on you. But you have to expect that people will give you 1's when they don't get it.

This challenge was beyond my time. In all honesty, even if I would have understood it (and I probably wouldn't have) as a picture it ranks a 5 or 6 to me. Just being honest.

But I admire you for doing something different and for that I give you a 10. Also congratulations on the publishing...that was probably a great sense of pride and satisfaction for you.
