No fair when you put on your intelligent face like that. I deduct some point.

Bear,your title made me appreciate this image even more. It's just lovely and I scored it high. Your title helped me see in in context and that made it even better. Sorry it scored low overall, but some of us appreciated it.

Comment by posthumous:
I like it. The silhouetting makes it clear to me that this is a study of the fractal-like patterning of branches. Clear as day.

But I'm weird, apparently.

Verry OOB. I also have a fasination with tree branches, lol. People always gave me odd looks when I took pictures of them and showed them around though, so I stopped taking them and trying to show them to people. Now, I just sit and watch them out my window.

Robert - I think your score suffered from a lack of scientific understanding o the viewers part and a lack of uniform patterns in the image. I quite like your vision here to find the fractals in the tree and feel this clearly meets the challenge well in a refreshing approach. I side with Deb that I see a bit much blue halo and I am sure some voters voted you down on it. If I have voted, I would have likely given this a 6

LOL! I looked at the picture before I saw the title and immediate thought "Peeps on the half shell?" I think that means you sold your concept very well.

It's been too long since I've studied math with any care, but I appreciated the title. I've always wondered what fractals found in nature might look like. As a challenge shot, it lacks enough "subject" for the average voter, even in this contest. On the technical front, there's a bit of the blue fringing on my uberbright work monitor that may have put off the technical voters. From an out of the box standpoint, it's a very cool take on the challenge!
