Not a bad score... it's great how the reds stand out. The oldness is also quite evident! But, I definitely would not know that it is a train if it wasn't in the train challenge.

I didn't vote in this challenge, but this so would have gotten a 10 from me just for the humor! How did you not crack up while taking this?

Very pretty image. The colors are beautiful (maybe a tad oversaturated, but just barely) the geese are all going in the same direction (which is actually hard to find in water). Nice capture, nice score!

Hey Tim,
I don't care much for woody shots, so I didn't enter or vote this challenge. I do have to say this was very nicely done. Sorry about your low votes, but there are some very narrow minded people here.

This is a great shot! I gave it a 9 in voting. This is actually the type of shot I believed we were supposed to be doing. All the people who just had something in front of their faces IMHO were taking the easy way out. You are showing WHO he is without his face. Again, great job!

This is cute. I really dislike woody shots in general. So, for me to like it is good. LOL. The shadows and light play are great!

Ya know, I don't think it's always us that suck (for sure not you) but the voters. I know my top ten picks seldom ever make it to the actual top 10. This is a very interesting shot. I love the tones of brown. With the title and the water, it could be a stomach silloutte. And it almost looks like a bellybutton in there. LOL. I haven't been voting the past few challenges, but I would have given this a 7 or 8.
p.s. Yes, I read the photographer comments!

Though they have always seemed happy to me. I wish them well, but will really miss them.

Ahh, so you had one of the dreaded cat shots that people were b*tching about. Very nicely done. I didn't vote in this challenge either because I never can seem to get what makes high contrast. So disregarding that factor, it's a lovely shot with beautiful lighting. What is hanging out of his/her mouth though?
