I totally agree. But I did vote (many low votes indeed) and to be fair, made a lot of comments in order to explain why I liked/didn't like that particular image. |
Actually, I thought the same thing when I first viewed the challenge. I was not impressed in the slightest. However, I changed my mind on a lot of images. (I don't vote until close to the end, so I didn't have to raise or lower anything).
I applaud the fact that there were more people trying the expert editing. There were definite problems with many, but it's great when people explore. The ones that seemed like a huge shoehorn didn't seem so shoehornish after looking at them a couple of times this week. It was a difficult challenge to shoot if you didn't want to do expert editing -- I don't know about your neighborhood, but there's not many things that look apocalyptic in my neighborhood! So some things that appeared bland, boring, and non-apocalyptic in the beginning of the week just seemed more subtle to me today.
I think this was a difficult challenge, and I appreciate that this many people attempted it.
