Uh-oh. . .I hope you aren't getting killed with this one. My experience with these voters is that they are generally not kind to anyone who thinks outside the box or offers up anything remotely artistic in lieu of a straight on in-your-face on topic photo.

I love it tho. Kind of an environmental portrait with a haunting very cool quality.

Oooh, I like this one. He reminds me of Jason Castro from last year's American Idol, who I think is a real cutie :) I wish the eyes were a little sharper. It might make this a 10 if they were.

I am so disappointed that the voters did not appreciate the beautiful artistry in this photo. I think it is excellent, and very refreshing in the midst of so many straight flower photos. This is one of my top picks in this challenge.

Ohmygosh! What were the voters thinking????? This is AMAZING! I've often thought how risky it is to even remotely think outside the box or present a slightly different take on a topic. Its disappointing! But a 5.9 on a photo like this confirms my understanding of how the voting goes here.

Wow! I am really disappointed that this didn't get a score more worthy of its artistry! It is beautiful, and it reminds me of a canvas painting. I LOVE IT!

I LOVE this! I'm so surprised not to see this one way way up there. Its the kind of photo I would have put in the top very few -- and one that really appeals to my style. Awesome job!

Jimmy, this is so beautiful. The simplicity makes it so appealing. And I am always such a big fan of that soft dreamy look.
