Isn't there a way to throw out "1" scores? It's ridiculous and obviously done with malice regarding a photo this nice.

These undeserving low scores can make the difference between ribbons or no ribbon at all.

Something really needs to be done with obviously jealous inept supposed "photographers" giving ridiculous low scores for images like this.

Seems it happens every contest and sometimes can make the difference between places or even getting a ribbon.

The odd low scores should be thrown out.

I don't get it. While this is a very nice "scenic" photograph, I don't see how it fits in with the theme "vanishing point" any better than other shots that were commented on as not fitting in.

It has two parallel lines but they do not converge in this image, thus there is no vanishing point.

I'm not complaining I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what fits and what doesn't within the challenges.

So far, I've come to the early conclusion that there is no rhyme or reason. Kind of like it's all decided according to the chaos theory.

Would've been much better with a crop, if that's allowed.

I guess if you were on a slope then taking it from a different perspective, or one without the buildings so that when "straightened" it would look normal.

The other thing after looking at it again is that it needs a lot more DOF, maybe a shorter lens too.

Still like the shot though. Nice work.

Too bad you couldn't/didn't shoot around the fence.

If this didn't appear so tilted to me it would be an 8 or 9.

Great shot, but shouldn't parts of the fingers that touched the cream also be "vanished"? Didn't get a chance to vote on this, but this minor detail would've bugged me.

It's always very difficuly to pull of a shot like this. Anyway congrats on the ribbon.
