I was looking through the flower entries, and was disappointed to see the following finishing so poorly:
 : Killer great shot IMO, a totally different POV, mystical and evocative, flower-as-landscape
 : I found this one to be quite ephemeral and lovely, nice and understated but a tangible glow to it.
 : I was really disappointed in the very low finish of this completely different shot. I love the way the title ties the concept together. This is a shot that tells a little story, and I think it's very well done and thought-provoking in a nice way.
 : I'm not surprised this scored low, given the DPC mindset, but I think it is a wonderful, funky piece of conceptual art that deserved better. Image and title work together nicely to tell a strange, even morbid, tale.
So good on you four! Who else can point out some underrated flowers (in their own opinion of course)?

| I scored those 7, 8, 7, 5. In hindsight I think the last one should have been a 6 (from me). And a 6 only because to me it didn't have the same impact as the two 7s (or any of my other numerous 7s) shown here. |

I added this shot to my favorites, and gave it a 10 also. Definitely underrated as far as I am concerned! |

That's a 6th place image, so "underrated" hardly applies :-) Why the handful of low votes? Some people just do not like "soft" images...

Yeah... cool image, but your score was pretty good too (your personal best!). Well done. |

I'd kill for that score. But if doctornick can post a TOP TEN Picture as being underrated, then I suppose anything goes.

Here are few that I think should have scored higher. There are many others...
As I said, there are many others.
On the other hand, I think this one caught a bit of luck...

I gave that one a 7; liked it very much. Just didn't finish low enough to qualify for my "WTF?" list...

I forgot that I was going to mention this one as well. I was very surprised that this didn't get a ribbon, or at least into the top ten.

Thanks, KarenNFld! This was my first challenge as a member and really appreciated all the comments. I know of several ways I could improve on this shot, although I do wish it had maintained a 6 (just barely missed it!
I also loved these:
