there seems to be a bit of distortion from the overprocesssing of this image?

Excellent minimalist shot - recognised by some, but not enough!

Interesting but color does not imply the moon.

Thank you for everyone's comments. I didn't expect the photo to do quite so badly but am pleased to have generated so many comments! (For the record, there was no PP blur introduced on the photo - all I changed were the colours and contrast slightly and - far from blurring - some sharpening!!)

I definetely agree! This was probably one that most people just did not understand... and after looking at your portfolio, I would say this photo is absolutely one at the top!

Meadow's final placement in this particular popularity poll underscores the higher representation of illustrative conscious eyes (magazines, calendars, etc.) in contrast to artistic interpretive eyes. I feel worldwide, society now has more "lookers" than "ponderers." Perhaps because of the overwhelming bombardment of media, we feel we have no time to ponder meaning. We have been acclimated to look for a shorthand of parameters, speed-read our way through images, make a surface evaluation and then move on. Meadow deserves so much more than that. It deserves to be a reclining area; in which cares are forgotten and the slow movement of the sun and the seasons be observed and weighed against the value of, say, a video game or an argument over a parking space.

I love this photo - elegant simplicity.
