Well I guess I would just echo most everything that everyone else has added here comment wise. Courageous image and it should have scored higher. Terry Jones would be proud!

Noise isn't always bad. This looks like a frame from one of those old horror movies -- The Grasshopper from Hell that ate Tokyo.

Actually, I really like the picture. Those black silhouettes in the background give it a Wasteland mood and I love the goldish-brown in the leaves.

My 3-year-old just happened to look over my shoulder and see this and said, "I don't want to go there!" I have to agree. Nice work.

Wow - you did a number on the voter's with this one!

I have to admit, being the father of 5 & having delivered the last one myself (and I do mean the LAST ONE - ha ha) I wasn't that put off by this. But, I didn't score it high, either - in fact I gave it a 2 (sorry!). Part of me did think it was a Brown attempt & I wanted to oblige, but I had deeper reasons, too.

I can appreciate a little shock value (hell, I did a series of "Things Found Dead & Rotting" 10 years ago) but whenever I see an image I think of how it COULD have looked, I see the many roads the artist could have taken. When I saw this one, I immediately thought that the cold sterility of it was absolutely meant to disgust and though I can appreciate that purpose & admire its success, I also thought what if the lighting had been X & the angle had been Y then my reaction would have been Z instead. I know, I know - it's not my place to 'own' your art, but if it's out there I WILL take it & make it my own & make those judgments 'cause it can be hard to that very same thing with my own.

Anyway, I really wanted Z with this one, something that took a moment longer & relished life instead flushing it down the toilet- too much of that going these days to begin with! Perhaps you should have entered in Death instead...

"Course what the f*** do I know - I shot a freaking LED bulb for a challenge about celebrating life.
