I don't get that feeling with this shot though.
Are they out to look mean cuz they do. Mean as in 'we're in business and we mean to succeed'. :)

For some reason I feel this was composited. Why am I looking for reasons to justify my feeling?

Or is it the bg that was changed?

Great looking group shot. They look serious.

Good exposure. Crisp focus. Clean image. This shot would have scored a 6 easy 18 to 24 months ago. It does look like a reflection and I'm sure everyone including me thought so when voting. There's a wave of anti water drop, anti glass on white background, anti anything that's been done before by the old foggies that have been here for a long time. They seem to think that we do not have the right to produce these types of images because either they're tired of seeing them or just can't produce anything close to them so they kind of get frustrated of seeing the same type of image win ribbons.

My advice, keep on doing what you want and like. Don't listen to these people and move forward with your photography shooting what you want to shoot. This is a learning site and doing that type (glass on white background) is a learning process. Just like doing water drops is a learning experience.

There is absolutely no reason for this image to deserve three 1 votes. You were low-balled by voters who do not like glass shots even though they're well done technically, such as yours.

I fail to see the humour in this.... oh wait, this was a serious take on the challenge. lol Great image and the W&B conversion is fitting with the big shadows from the trees and their silhouetted shape. Congrats.
