Soulless? I don't know about that. Perhaps this photo does not tell a story, but it definitely captures the quiet beauty of nature in the scene.

However, I can relate to your concern. I just think I can look through some of my recent entries and find images that better illustrate this concern. There are images that I might categorize as mildly pleasant but with no redeeming value. I do need to work this year to give voters some meatier images. Something that can be savored. And, not worry too much bout the voters only looking for immediate gratification.

Nicely done. However, it is tough for you to compete with images using the full 1200 pixels on the longest side.
