someone seems a bit bitter. Tell me why it should get a one. Please enlighten me.... It's great your a critic and all, but you don't seem to have any intelligent input. Maybe your such and awsome photographer, you can share some of your profound wisdom with the rest of us lackies who only strive to reach your level of godliness...

Not much point querying comments either - you just need to look at the kind of comments people make, their favorites list and their photography to work out whether they count as anything valuable or not.

Otherwise you might just be satisfying their spiteful ambitions by questioning it...

I simply expressed my opinion on a single photograph!
the fact that I think this photograph is ugly or what ever I might think doesnt make it ugly .....

Nothing personal mate.
Laugh all you like at my portfolio or any of my work I couldnt care less:p

If you are gonna take every comment and every vote on your submissions personal you´re gonna need a shrink:D

That's enough boys. I don't think you're going to change each other's mind and now you're just fighting like school children. Let it go. Nazgul, we know you dislike the photo and that's your prerogative. Ericlimon -- there are many other people who have given you more detailed critiques that probably answer your questions. Just let this one go.

I absolutely agree! I think a lot of people give low marks to try to boost their own score. Even though there were several 'looking through the glass' images of flowers this week, I liked this one best. The yellow against the b/w really stands out :) Don't stress over it, every single shot I've submitted has gotten a 1.

I'm confused... the picture in question got one one and one three, scored a 6.3 and was in 23rd place. Do two people make 'a lot of people'? Someone didn't like the shot... It happens...

Anonymity makes @ssholes out of people awfully quick. If people acted the way they do over the internet to people's faces, some of them wouldn't last long.

I've had a hard time figuring all the ones on this site. Remember, when you judge something on a scale of one to ten, if you give it a one, you're saying EVERYTHING is wrong with the shot. The same is true of a ten, you're saying EVERYTHING is right with it. It would be nice if you had to leave a comment if you voted one or ten. I'd bet that we wouldn't see so many of these if that were the case (especially ones). It's so easy to slam someone when they don't know who you are. :) When veiwing a shot you need to take everything into consideration. That's called being open minded. You should also give the photographer the benifit of the doubt, that called being kind. There's no way this shot should have been given a one!
