PHEW! I am SO glad I'm not an asshole! LOLOLOL! I gave you a 7. I thought this was creative and different! I'm that flower novice who has a really tough time seeing anything other than...a flower...from a typical POV! YAWN!

7 - Ah youth. Not a single line. Good portrait - the varying focal points actually add to this, in my opinion.

I didn't vote, but I would've scored this very high, I really like the contrastiness, lighting, and unusual subject. Interesting! I think this has quite an artistic look. It's funny that this shot managed to piss one person off enough to give you a 1, haha!

Anyway, it just goes to show how some voters are hung up on subject matter over quality and a truly (to me) interesting shot, which could be hanging in a gallery. There are a good number of 7+ scores, though, so there are some voters with good taste. I'll go out on a limb and say that anybody who scored this shot 5 or under is an asshole.

Cheers!

The composition is interesting, but flash from front makes the whole picture flat
