Sure you can, it just has to have appeal for others, and that broad appeal to others is what most of us have a hard time knowing. I do have to say I am surprised yours is that low right now. I expected something toward the mid 5's. It's still early however. Besides, the one I liked would have bombed even worse. Remember, I said you can't blame me for a 5.1.

I also think my commenting is being found a bit harsh by some.


Ya...Shooting fish in a barrel is sounding really good...I'd even go for shooting fish in a lake about now...

Still dropping.

I know a few people are a little frustrated at their score this month (me too!) and I have thought in the last few challenges that 'eye-candy' images seem to be the order of the day. So, I've just started a bit of a comment quest - I'm picking out all of the images which offer something a little different and I'm going to offer a long comment and a score on each. I am looking for the obtuse and the eclectic and I will be spending a long time examining and commenting on each. I'll be voting too - I won't promise to score high just because the image is different and I will give out low scores where I really feel I can't go any higher but I will promise I'll be looking with a fair eye and to ensure that those who have offered something different this month will get my fullest consideration before I offer my score.

Still playing musical usernames, I see.

From what I read here and in the Team Suck thread, I'm actually holding up pretty good. This one seem to be voted really harsh so far. Comments would be nice, eh? Not that anyone expects them.

I knew I shouldn't have entered this shot. I love it too much. I just wish I had some more comments to go with with the score.
