Not voting on this pic as I'm guessing they where hand made for a specific project in the mountains?

Just humour me if I'm way off here ;)

So you are saying you would have given a higher score but someone else in some other challenge didn't like your entry so now anything with roots in it you will penalize because of this? You got it wrong. I gave it a higher score just because of that. If you look at your scores, most of the people scored this 6 and 5. I didn't give it 5, but 6 just for the roots. I scored it higher than the average voter. Anyway, it is bizarre to consider MY comment unhelpful when I did provide you more feedback than a simple "nice colors". Yes, nice colors, but all too common and the border interferes with them. Another comment you found unhelpful is saying that the clouds would be better with more contrast. That's true, yet unhelpful for you.

Ah k I see where you were coming from. I was just trying to understand your comment and I do appreciate the reply, Thank you :) both comments since marked helpful...
