i hate to disagree, lesley, but i called this as soon as i saw it, and the voters simply followed the spirit of the challenge: The face you submit may not be something that is intended to be a face (that is, not a person, animal, insect, toy or anything else that has a "face").

this is a beautiful image, one that needs to be seen and appreciated. it just shouldn't have been entered in this challenge. better luck next time! just keep on shooting!

edit: added emphasis

this is one of the most underrated entries in the challenge :(
great shot! keep it up. what's important here is the number of comments and the score of the commenters. you are definitely on the right track. more than likely, it was the 'darkness' of the image that held down your score. better luck next time!

ok, max, i know this is a tough lesson, but i also know you can take it. one of the key things to learn here is the difference between a 'portfolio' shot and a 'challenge' shot. save this stuff for your portfolio...it is Great! but don't do this for challenges...you see what happens.

check out shannon calvert's thread about the recipe for ribbonning. you have definitely got an eye and a sense of humor. if you get it under control, you could easily add 2 pts to your scores. it's not automatic, but you can do it if you apply yourself! go for it!
