I just don't understand it.
I feel as though this should have finished higher than what it actually did.
I think it is an injustice.
Don't people have any taste?
Let me know what I could have done to get this higher.
I mean, a friggin' horse won!!!!
Please be honest.

Disclaimer:
this is just a joke.
I'm just making fun of all the people who think their picture was persecuted in the challenge.
And I'm sorry if I offended any of them.
I'm not meaning to.
Maybe I shouldn't even post this?
Oh well, too late.
I just hit "post"

a further disclaimer:
The horse picture is great and well desreved the winning ribbon.

i thought about posting something similar about my photo for this challenge. then i looked at my photo for this challenge again. got a bad score from those who said "ewww" and got a good score from those who said "ewww, how funny..." i can accept that...
i was actually more curious if people had correctly guessed what it was...

edit : ps. mind if i hijack your thread? hehe...

on a more serious note...

why didn't this awesome photo of a fish sculpture at night receive at least a 7.0? I almost caught a cold outside taking this shot, for gosh darn sake.

I had the winning shot, but chose to enter the Reflections instead.
I couldn't decide on a title though.

Now then, UncleBro, you have collected one ribbon of each color. You can retire now and allow the rest of us a chance. ;P

I gave your picture a six.
It fit the challenge and was well photographed.
Not enough of a "wow" to give it a ten, but good none the less.

edit: I messed up the html or CSS or whatever it is!!!!

Nice shot, but not something that makes me say 'What!?'. Excellent editing/color/whatever you call it.

I knew what it was...but I think a square crop with the title "Alien Nipple" would have helped you out here.

Allright, thank God it is ;) Almost wanted to respond in a not so nice way ;)

Note to self: never ever spend more than 3 hours for one photo that won't ribbon again!
