i'm going to stress again - just give this the simple addition of context, just something to indicate how damn big the thing is, and you could add a whole point to your score. It'd still be slightly underrated for the challenge, but it'd be closer, at least.

Just so you know, I gave this a 7 and am very confused by the scoring.

You don't deserve a score this low.

Very nice picture.

It's a shame there aren't more aussies on this site... this isn't a spectacular picture, but it certainly didnt deserve so many 1's - Ned Kelly is a bit of an icon round these parts and definitely does belong in a travel guide.

I saw this idea in a movie, which name escapes me, but it was one of you Aussies that took on the government and became famous. The POV and cloudy sky really make this shot.

Yeeps, where do you live. I don't wanna go there! Seriously, cute photo and nicely composed.

I am sure i am missing some cultural clue but if I saw this in a guidebook, I wouldn't go. Photo's okay though.

Your colours are a bit crazed here (and that's not the only thing). : )

Good composition and if you're into weird outback killing renactments then this is the place to come I imagine!

He's Ned, ain't he mate? :-) Like it - but maybe a little context, given the challenge?

Not sure this would exactly invite people to visit an area...? I think I'd stay the heck away!

Great photo, but I think I'll pass on visiting you anytime soon. :)

Sorry. This doesn't look like a place I'd like to visit. If there WAS an attraction that sported this individual as their main model, I'd probably try to portray it in an image with more of the surroundings - to put it into perspective - rather than making it so sinister.

Cool! LOL Nice colr and contrast, the angle gives an interesting atmosphere. I really wonder what they are...

The infamous "Ned Kelly". Just read about him in Bill Bryson's travelogue "In A Sunburned Country" pg 163-164. Great perspective against that Aussie blue sky.
