Nice shot of old technology. That old spoke threw me for a loop at first: couldn't relly figure out was I wa looking at. Too bad a bout that white spot in the lower left. Changing the shooting angle could have got rid of this.

Fits the challenge in the way that it relates to the subject matter, but liitle orginality as to ubject matter or the manner in which the shot was taken.

This should have scored way higher. A simple yet effective image. Keep up the good work.

But people gave it 12 10's??!!!!!!!! Even YOU have to laugh at that! I didn't laugh. That means that there are at least 12 other people around here who vote the same way I do.

And what way would that be? Scoring a shot high even if it doesn't meet the challenge description in the slightest manner? An awesome panorama shot for a macro challenge? A clear, crisp studio shot of a 1967 GTO for a nature challenge? The family cat for every challenge?

That doesn't help anyone. People will just submit stuff that they are comfortable shooting, like you and your birds lately. People tend to be lazy, they shoot what is easy, close by, easy to pull off. People have to step outside their comfort zone if they really want to grow. Racking one's brain to find something that fits the challenge properly is part of the process. Copping out with a bird/cat/kid/whatever shots that has no reference to the challenge isn't worth much in the scope of the challenge structure of this site.

Oh, and I gave this a 1. You hand 1's out according to your point of view, I hand them out according to mine. You may have been trying to raise conflict with submitting such an image, just like Jacko did with his brown ribbon submission. In that case, well done.
