I am often getting comments from people who "don't think it applies" to the topic/subject.
Example: Habits....I had a photo taken of a squirrel eating food my mom gave it and referenced the oft stated habit of "feeding the animals"
Sadly, a few did not "catch that" and then they post saying it doesn't match. And then others start are like "nice photo...doesn't meet topic".
I mean I want to wring my hair out....or like a recent entry in the sports. I guess I am fast realizing don't give a title just state WTF the photo is as people are not intelligent enough to understand artistic or creative titles.
I mean, i think we should be able to post an explanation or response to some of the comments...
*shrug*

perhaps he was refering to PROPER football (soccer to you) where they only wear shin pads!!!
One thing I learnt long ago is that there will always be people who simply "don't get it". You have two choices.
Either pamper to the minority and make plain obvious pictures with clear titles (I'm not saying an obvious pic is a bad thing!!)
Or you can keep taking pictures YOU like and try and ignore the people who disagree

Just as a starting note, you should not comment on your photo while judging is still going on.
I feel a photo should be able to stand on its own. The photograph should be what communicates, if it takes an explanation then the photo is missing the mark.
If you look at the top three photos it become evident that it is possible to take a photo that is both a excellent photo and also meets the challenge just by looking at it.
