What does it matter if it was last minute or your first vote? Either way it counts the same.

Also....a 5 is not a low vote. Look at the winners and the dq in squares. They are surely worth one or two points higher than your entry.

EDIT: Well it seems Richard cut and ran after he mentioned his displeasure on receiving a low vote in the last four minutes. Sorry but this post may NOT make sense to someone just happening upon it...He as since deleted his comment AFTER I made my comments..but I will not delete.

Well since I was timed in on my comment at four minutes to go, I guess I have to post what I gave you...



I gave a 5. Your second highest vote tally. You can't always get 7s and 8s.

And further, here is the previous vote for the square challenge:



Hmmm....A 6 -- Dead on with your MODE average.

Let's put the "people mark me lower because they know who I am issue" to rest.

EDIT: This is a VERY helpful post so you should tag it as such.

Anticipation....? At first I thought that was something on the left trying to cross. I thought the anticipation was alluding to that. However, after looking, it doesn't seem like that is the case.

I hope I'm not missing something here. Sometimes a title can make the photo but sometimes it can hurt.

Now on to the photo. We have so many great landscapes from time to time...I tend to vote lower if something doesn't match up to the great ones! This one is fine for a composition but could be toned up a little. I looks a little flat in the contrast.

Oh well....it gets a fair score anyway.

Edit: I'll take 5s all day.

RNMP? I can tell that because I have taken this same shot a couple years ago. Looking west towards Trail Ridge Road. And now we are expecting rain and snow for the next two days, will Spring ever get here? Well balanced shot.

How fortunate that you saw them, AND that you were able to capture them so magnificently. Pay no attention to those snow-deprived folks.

Excellent work Richard. It must take great patience to wait for these moments. Wildlife photography takes some special talents in my book.
