I didn't vote in this challenge but I like this photo more than some of the photos that scored higher. I don't know about your other photos as much but to me this one and still life in general has a very hard time ribboning in a free study, as good as it may be. It seems to me like landscape/sky/and a few portraits make it to the top in free studies consistently. As far as still life goes this is as good as it gets and 19th place out of 455 proves that. For those that rated below 5.5 and didn't leave feedback is mostly likely because there is nothing technically wrong with the photo, but simply that they don't "dig" this kind of photo. Don't lose heart, your one of my favorite photographers on here because of your style (esp. the muted colors!) Keep it up!

Did you and the better half of the Toos collaborate? :-) I should have known this was yours by the signature color. Sorry about the Enzo thing, though.
