It's not for now to discuss specific comments, but often times there are ways to do most actions that we normally do post processing, but doing them as pre-production planning. Therefore, sometimes people comment on other ways to photograph the shot that suggest a different approach to set up that may have allowed for an improved shot.

I know I have left a number of comments during voting in the current challenge that discuss things that may have improved the shot, anticipating that it is possible to either change the photographers position, perspective, or camera set up that allows the photog to acheive the results desired.

Heh! Not for some of us. Woke up to a 5.7 and it's been heading south ever since! Now somewhere in the 5.3 range.

Interestingly the comments have all been how great it is and several have mentioned that they are giving it a 9. So must be a lot of 1s and 2s in there. It's a love it or hate it type of photo I guess.

I was deliberately non-specific.

5.9 + It seems to be going up and down though, mostly down, so I am still sticking with the 5.5 prediction for the final.

Well, I have commented on all the shots in the challenge. I really like the minimal set but was not satisfied in the end with my own shot to enter it.

I hope you all take my comments with a grain of salt - I know that I was critical of more than a few shots, but I was trying to be helpful and useful with my comments, pointing out things I would have considered in trying to get the shot to be entry worthy...

Although constructive criticism is hard to take, I try to welcome it when it seems justified, and yours was. Wish I had you critique my pic before hand. Although I couldn't have changed the composition, I could have changed the title, which (I think) would have worked better with what I entered and possibly bumped up my score a little.
Really can't complain with what I'm getting. Expected it to do worse.

Thanks for looking.

I'm not at 100 votes yet, but I'd like to check-out of the hotel right now!!!!

In fact, I should have just cancelled the trip and stayed home!

You might be surprised. Before it was my avatar, it was a challenge entry (Peek-a-Boo) and my most worst-performing one at that.
