See -- I just really like your stuff! I gave this a 7. The commentor is so wrong about the people -- they make the shot. Love the splash of red, love the people. The alternative shot without them is just not as interesting. The border grew on me, but not a lot :P

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
Regarding your notes: I sometimes like the way a border sets off an image. I have realized, however, that any use of a border will find some people not liking its usage. I rarely use a border now, and on those rare occasions when I feel it is appropriate, It always gets a comment criticizing that choice. I figure each comment about it represents multiple low votes for that aspect.

Despite the criticisms, I feel a high 5 is doing well in a freestudy and this entry did find it's share of fans, including myself. I gave it an 8. I tend to like stuff that is a little quirky.

Deb, sorry this didn't do better. I really like it. I don't think your title is ridiculous at all.

I love the solemnity, so beautifully enhanced by the processing and tight crop.

The other entry might have scored better, but this is, by far, the better photo. Beautiful!

beautiful shot Deb! My guess is, if you wanted to go for a high score, you should've removed the coverslip from the bulb... anything even slightly confusing the voter brings the score down (unless it is a "Confusion" challenge, LOL).
