Ok I know it may annoy some people to have posts like this but this image should have finished much higher in my view.
I thought it was such a cool image as soon as I saw it. I expected it to finish in the top ten but by the looks of the vote break up most people saw it as average.
Anyone care to share how they saw this one ?

| busy and generally unappealing to me anyway. 5.7 is not shabby. |

I quite agree with Keegbow. I left a lengthy comment on that triptych, and it was one of my favorites in the challenge. Here's what I said:
"This is in many ways one of the more interesting triptychs, conceptually, in this challenge. There's a palpable sense of immediacy, of the passage of time and life. Technically it appearsflawed, with the bright vertical haloing on the right edges, and the tiny, disheveled wedge of gutter showing in each image is oddly attention-getting, but overall this leaves a certain gritty, homespun texture to the whole that's appealing to me. Bumping up, and good luck!"
One other thing I find interesting is how it's a vertically stacked triptych, but the repeating elements produce a horizontal triptych as well, within each image separately, so the whole is divided into 9 squares effectively.

I like the scene. I feel the point of the series was the interaction between the two people in the scene and I do not see a lot of "interaction" between them. Their faces were both underexposed so I did not get any feeling from their faces, and I don't think the poses that were caught give a lot of information about the interaction, so it leaves me feeling a little flat - that it needs something more to engage the viewer.
I would probably have given it a 6.

I gave it a 6, the idea was great but generally the busy nature of the photo, lamp post, ugly fence, sign post, graffitti, ugly buildings made it "visually" uappealing to me but technically it looked great. Without all of the clutter it would have been great MHO of course.

| With reference to muur88's triptych, it was far and away my favorite. In this case the clutter worked and just made it more interesting. I'm afraid a lot of people want to be spoon-fed. |

IMHO this one should have been in the top ten.

Interesting ratings in this challenge - muur88's Life Passing deserves the well above the average score it received. I thought it a contender for top twenty.
Under the 50th percentile - these animal pictures also caught my attention.
  
ursula's power is most underrated......

I will say that I marked as "favorite" more photos from this challenge than any other...
Some excellent work. I was 2/3's of the way thru and still finding most entries to be just magnificent.
Nice job all...
(sadly, I did not get to make an entry as my 20D is once again with Canon) |

That was another great shot. I gave it a nine but with a 7 plus score I don't think it was underated. |

I can't believe how this one finished.....Jutilda certainly didn't deserve all the 1's, 2's and 3's she got. I think it is very artistically done!

 people seemed to totally miss the point of this one. I thought it was incredibly subtle in it's message (although I guess the title helped the "subtlety challenge"...)

Here's another one that I felt should have placed much higher than it did.
