Steve, I think this POTD event should be reviewed maybe reconsidering the reasons why Faidoi dropped it.
I think that the approach chosen by Pitsaman yesterday, proposing a pic but actually emphasizing a topic (Emotive) and asking for further photos/suggestions was a better one.
Alternatively, if you want to invite people to comment on a single pic, you should choose pics with a great WOW effect every day and that is not at all an easy thing to do.
The photo you chose today is a good example.
It's a good photo (I would have rated it 7, if in a challenge).
However even if well done, it misses that WOW effect which is strictly required, I think, if you want to attract people to comment on it.
That's why, instead of assigning volatile honors, maybe it would be better to choose one (or even more pics) to use them as a starting point for discussing about a particular topic or technique.
