Heh.

I would recommend:
a) Taking the 1s in stride. You had to know you'd anger some people, and they're entitled to be angry if this kind of thing makes them angry. It's not for you or anyone else to tell them what they think is appropriate.
b) Taking the 10s in stride. You had to know some people would so enjoy the audacity that they'd give you a 10. It's not good form to tell them they were wrong, nor is it up to the 1 crowd to tell them that.
c) Enjoying the notoriety. After all, you put the shot in, you might as well sit back and watch the fireworks on both sides. And stop apologizing in your notes! You knew what you were doing, so take pride in it!

I probably would've voted this on its merits and then given you a point for having the guts to enter it. :)

Cindi, I saw this as your profile shot and had to come look at it again. It's still one of my favorite of all the last round of self-portraits. Now it's on my favorites list, too. :)

Very nice processing!

The smush on your cheek really sells that you're in there. Were you really pressed up against some glass or didja use smudge or some other tool?

Oops. Well, now you know. I suggest looking at the DQd shots from the past several challenges - that'll teach you a lot about where the boundaries are.

Heh. I wish my totally screwed up shots were this good. I'm glad someone used this concept of "centered!"

This is visually very interesting. I really like the no-holds-barred view of what lions do.
