My ROT Blue finished with 6.99, I thought of starting a "small cello" thread :)

Just imagine how Christoph felt with this shot!!

That's called the "Diminutive Double Bass"

Seemingly like the recent painting with light challenge, I am guessing that there is a bit of voting down if the photo does not fit a particular bias of the competition description... Example for this one: Skyline is a long exposure of an evening shot of a big city "skyline".

FYSA:

skyÂ·line / Noun
1. (Earth Sciences / Physical Geography) the line at which the earth and sky appear to meet; horizon
2. the outline of buildings, mountains, trees, etc., seen against the sky

Lots of great shots of different kinds of skylines in this one! Good luck to everyone!

You may be right but people tend to interpret things differently. For example, the current challenge, Abandon Buildings.. Are we to assume its photos of abandoned buildings or people running from the buildings.. I feel that their is a gray area around the descriptions and submissions for the challenges.

Either way, some people walk the straight line and others think outside the box and both come up with very interesting and at times very beautiful shots.

The darn title is a typo, read the description - it's Abandoned buildings, no doubt about it.

What do I have to do to get over the hump? I thought for sure my entry would get a mid 6 score and land on my profile page. Alas, no...

I just received a great comment that explains what is wrong with my picture. The thing is, I even noted I thought this would hurt in my details. Anyhow, my score is hanging around the 6.3x range.
