So you are saying you would have given a higher score but someone else in some other challenge didn't like your entry so now anything with roots in it you will penalize because of this?

You got it wrong. I gave it a higher score just because of that. If you look at your scores, most of the people scored this 6 and 5. I didn't give it 5, but 6 just for the roots. I scored it higher than the average voter. Anyway, it is bizarre to consider MY comment unhelpful when I did provide you more feedback than a simple "nice colors". Yes, nice colors, but all too common and the border interferes with them. Another comment you found unhelpful is saying that the clouds would be better with more contrast. That's true, yet unhelpful for you.

Good title and excellent use of the landforms. A 10 from me... I hope you will tell where this place is.

I like the processing, but I think it would've been better with more sky.

Very nice. I would've liked it better without the reflection on the pomegranates. 7
