That Godzilla feller travels more than I do (and gets invited to more events, too).

Snow White, of course! Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on a poisoned spinning wheel (at least in the Disney version).

I like the high contrast, but wonder if the arm is almost too white (i.e., blown out). Almost seems like a crime scene photo! Cool if that was intentional.

The Game of Life

Actually, I prefer your image to the kitten behind bars image, but some voters are suckers for cute animal pics. I tend to favor dogs, myself.

As for reasons why your scored "low," I can make a few guesses. There are several photos like yours -- close-ups of boardgame pieces -- that scored around the same as your entry, so it might be the subject. I think plastic is an ugly material and therefore difficult to photograph in an appealing way. Technically speaking there's some glare on the car and on the game pegs, and on the gameboard there's a very strange smudged-looking dark area where the blue meets the yellow road.

I didn't vote on this, but I would not have voted lower than a 5 for it and probably would have given it a 6.

That's a self-portrait? Wow, you are da' man!

Sorry to hear you got hassled. Maybe you should carry your portfolio with you. That should shut up the doubters! :-)

Really intriguing, appealing photo, good exposure -- is it a self-portrait?
