my thought exactly! perhaps it being an abstract challenge made voters more tolerant of the lack of a subject, the flatness, etc. Then again, I've been known to bomb in abstract challenges as well. I have no clue why this made top 20. That's why I can still suck!

I thought this was an interesting image...I like the noise and the overall sense of impending doom. ;) I agree that the foreground is a bit large, and would like to see more roof...but overall there is a good emotive quality to it. :)

Does this leave the good ship suck without a captain?

It's a canvas of a shot - all those things like cropping and balance-within-the-frame and such that I prefer to see than name, are seen and don't need to be named.

This should not have succeeded here as there are # no large fields of primary colour # no hyper-saturation # no unbroken areas without texture to set off the subject. There's hope for us yet.

You might say the understatement sets it off.

Well did.

Really nice. I like that he's wearing the red vest, and all the other colors in the scene are just typical nature colors.

I gave this an 8. Good use of colors/textures/patterns, especially in an 'every day thing'. The tonings applied work well, however a little bit more 'depth'/something may have made it even better and brought out the textures more, in my opinion.
