Comment by Everyday Renee:
I don't get a sense of silence from the water falling. This is a nice photo, but I don't see it meeting the challenge. 6

However, to assume your picture ruined either of our days is just as pompous as you alluding in your second sentence that you are forever helping DPC'ers to come up to your self proclaimed level of photography [you chalk his statement up to inexperience on DPC, come on, you were holding back from really saying "no one here, would be where they are without me"].

That is correct. I choose to vote as if there is no challenge topic. That's my choice and I'm not trying to force that on anyone.

As for helping people, well, I will ignore that remark from you and chalk it up to your own inexperience and relative newness to this site.

I don't play for score here anymore. I have been there and done that. I have been outside my comfort zone during my learning process. If you want to call what I do 'lazy', feel free. I choose to photograph what makes me happy. I don't waste my own time shooting subject and topics that don't interest me anymore. I have done that to a very large extent during my learning process and participation here on this site. I did not get where I am now by not pandering to the vote. I have grown beyond the point of worrying too much about what other people think about my work.

I think the only conflict I raised with this photo was with you :) You obviously haven't read my original comment that I submitted with this photo or you would know that already. I don't think it meets the challenge either and never did.

I also encourage you to continue voting the way you do. Everyone should vote in their own manner and style. If you see a photo that deserves a 1, then give it a 1 :)

If I ruined your day by submitting this photo, the I apologize.
