Stupid question, is there a way to change the title of my image in the accidental letters challenge?! According to the 3 comments I have received, no one has noticed that there is not just a single letter but 2 that form an actual word out of something in nature that I had nothing to do with! This was a rare chance that I happened to take this picture and its getting hammered! Grrr!!

Can't change anything during voting. Always remember that the title is part of the entry and some (myself included) weight the title as a portion of your score.

If the letters are not obvious, you should have put something in the title (I know, hindsight, etc.) - I was annoyed at some of the images where I had to struggle, search, strain to find anything resembling letters and got no help from the title. I may even have left you some comments.

Anyway - don't sweat it. Consider it lessons learned for the next challenge. :)

I'm feeling the obscurity of the "letters" within the frame of the photo might work both ways. If this element suceeds in adding a sense of the "accidental," then I'm likely to rate higher.

There are nicely clear-cut letters in some of the entries, at the same time that there are some photos that are just too cluttered that I'd have to search (and when I find it/them, I'd go "Oh, is that all?"). When I do find what at first glance appears to be clutter, but upon a second, third or even fourth closer look reveal the subject issue of the challenge, then I feel it's a more rewarding shot and deserving more regard.

Fair enough. Best of luck to your entry. :)
