The judging here is for people that want to take a cute picture of their cat or something - not for originality. Honestly, I am glad I am rated low. It shows that most people here don't have a clue.

Go take the 6,342,953,567 picture of Half Dome, what's the damn point? I will continue to innovate and explore new territory. Thats where its at for me. I am currently working at 8:1 with polarized light. How many people are doing that that you know of? are you serious? have you seen your pictures? and you dare call them innovative "new territory" you took two badly composed of your trash you got nothing worth looking at more than once. art for most ppl invokes some sort of emotion good or bad as long as it has an affect in some way i look at your "work" i feel nothing i think about my bills or something for all i know you could be a good photographer but from what i see your not. PS hey look i'm being innovative

WOOOOOW! Holy Photons!

Man, how did you ever make your trash look, well, so much like trash?

Im just in awe. REALLY. Trebling as I peck feebly at this keyboard, bowed down humbly in the presence of your art. Absolutely earth shattering. Brilliant. No what - I am riveted. Wow. That is innovative, and good, very GOOD. I can only dream of attaining such levels in my pitiful experience we call life.

Maybe, just maybe because you are a peon. Maybe you haven't a clue. But what is far more likely is that you got IT ALL FIGURED OUT, MAN. And I am blind, so of course I haven't seen my work.

But sarcasm aside, show me something innovative that you have done. I don't mean that picture of your dog, or pictures of martinis (like thats real original; I haven't seen a zillion ads do the same). Show me something unique. Even garbage has been done, try harder. You may not like my work (hey - thats great - I really couldn't care less for your work), but at least I can say it is original. And It works for me. It works for some people - my audience. I am not trying to make "pop". Pop is for corporations, sellouts and losers - NOT - for artists. My limited edition prints sell for over a thousand dollars. So you can call it garbage if you like, but it gets me off and sells, I couldn't be more pleased.

Again, I am relieved that you think my work presented here it is garbage (I assume you have not visited my website), you only reenforce my rant!

1. Sunset
2. Waterfall(s)
3. Bird(s)
4. Portrait(s)

wow, i don't get it, I just see drops


isn't the peace sign from the 60's, and the rainbow from the gay revloution?

not even on-topic or original, but it wins first place???

Its not that I don't respect your work (its not a _bad_ shot), its just that I don't understand the voters.

Lonely at the Top?

Damn, I guess most people just DON'T get IT.

If the picture is something readably identifiable and completely unoriginal, people seem to love it.

I mean two of the top three images are of the SAME subject. Not even spectacular work I must say, gee, just set up a tripod and open the shutter for about 20 seconds on a building - WOW. Totally amazing I am sure.

I love ranking low, as most people are idiots, so I must be doing something right!!!

THANKS to those few that actually appreciate my image!
