i really like mourning doves! even when it sounds like they're barfing outside my window in the morning. i so don't understand, even, even with all my experience, how this could score how it did. i woulda thought it at least sharp enough for the kneejerks. ugh. sorry. but trust me, it's a pretty.

Left leaning like broccoli! haha. Excellent title and I love these crunchy textures in the leaves and grass. Selective relief? This smells like a duo or tritone with a hint of mauve... or is that pinko? ;-) Lovely and subtle.

You biased the results of your experiment by using this title. For example, I read it and thought it was tongue in cheek - making fun of the narrowminded orthodoxy on DPC who prefer the most clinically accurate photographs. The reverse of your hypothesis is tested here all the time - how often do tack-sharp, moodless, faithful photos of obvious subjects receive ridiculously high scores? My preference is for fun, interesting warped, imperfect, moody... every time. p.s. if you're taking a stance, how many True Photographs are in your portfolio?
