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!

Zoo Vet - The caring man behind the scenes

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?

Apple & Spider

Nice shot! Though I like spiders, I still wouldn't touch one! Focus is spot on (as you noted) and the spider is cute. Your score is quite decent given all the bug & blank haters on the site. I didn't vote in this one but would have given it at least an 8.

I knew this was yours when I saw it. I wish I had been as smart to pull my Brothers picture for the October FS, but, I wasn't. You definitely pulled it off much better this time!

Sometimes One Just Isn't Enough

hmmm, you actually found time to enter a challenge? I like the way the red reflects on the ice cubes. It gives it a very surreal type feel to it.

Multiple contrasts

I'm not a good judge of contrast. That's why I didn't enter this one. It's funny, you wrote in a thread that I said it was boring. (It was Kirsty). The sky seems really flat and it seems you only have light on a very small portion of one building.

Tire, iron

I really like this one Deb! But, then it's the type of image I would normally produce. Very quirky! Of course, I wouldn't have gotten anywhere near a 5 if I had done this. Adding to my favs!

Absoutely beautiful shot! The water has that warm, low light reflective quality that Bear's shots usually have. Did he show you some PP pointers while you were there too?
