Icicles, I think, but it looks for all the world like a very menacing male figure walking - toward or away from me, I'm not sure. Five from me for the eerie feeling. Predict closer to your guess. 4.3

the udder dripping, the icy claws, the fascination with evil. beautiful light and dark. 8 from me an a pissy 4.7777 from Them.

A cold, cold hand. Ok just icicles but spooky too. I say 4.37.

02/08/2015 05:29:53 PM
interesting abstract, reminds me of a flame 5.6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 05:18:28 PM
Icy hands. I suspect it will get an under-appreciated 4.3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 04:58:43 PM
Just might get it 4.0
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 02:47:09 PM
Pretty eerie. I see icicles, but I also see a hand! Still, as a photograph, doesn't really appeal to me. 5.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 02:31:43 PM
Jmritzy vision at its best. I'm helping it to a final score of 4.6 with a 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 12:16:54 PM
I like the image and it could fit very well in some applications but DPC will not like it.

My guess is 4.252
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 10:52:35 AM
love it 4.6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 10:39:33 AM
Correct.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 09:28:00 AM
I agree with you 4 because the Sharpeness is missing. Sorry ;-(
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 09:11:01 AM
are thes icicles? looks like a spooky hand. I'm not sure if I like it... 3 from me and I forcast 4.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 04:58:31 AM
I'm afraid this type of image is lost on me. I expect it to finish about 4.7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2015 12:19:33 AM
I see hanging limbs. Macabre. 4.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/07/2015 05:00:28 PM
I gave it a six. Guessing a 4.8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/07/2015 11:54:19 AM
I think you are close; I like it more than that, but it's clear you aren't after the popular vote!

I'll guess 4.22
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/07/2015 04:15:38 AM
Nice to think about it what this could be, 4.012
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/06/2015 02:00:02 PM
Looks kind of scary so it's interesting. But the top is distracting. 4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/06/2015 10:25:01 AM
I feel like this image is testing me. Are these testicicles?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/06/2015 04:44:24 AM
I gave you a 7, an icicle abstract well done.

But you probably will score around 4.666
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 11:28:15 PM
I'll agree with your score, I do not have an understanding of what you were trying to portray or capture unless you were trying to confuse voters in this unique challenge so my guess on your score is 4
I came back for another look, this might be a grainy icicle but I'm confused about the angle at the top edge, I hope for an explanation at roll over, Good Luck with this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 09:36:34 PM
a 5 for braving the cold
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 05:15:13 PM
Somewhere between icicles and skeletons. 4.74
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 03:28:15 PM
VERY Abstract. Ice cicles I presume. Or, a death ray from the heavens. 3.99.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 03:12:53 PM

the nosferatu hand will pull a 5.0 from the depths...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 01:13:01 PM
I think four is still optimistic. I voted a 4 but I guess it not even reach that. 3.87
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 12:48:36 PM
mesmerizing.
general voters won't like, it's not "pretty".
it's art though, and it's damn fine.
4.263 from the crowd, 9 from me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 12:11:13 PM
3.562 (I gave it a four) I don't know what it is and it doesn't hold my interest long enough for me to figure it out. BUT, I did try!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 07:09:32 AM
different 6 from me but 3,8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 05:29:34 AM
It reminds me of a tooth or of a sort of human shape. Not enough to deserve a good score. DPC crowd will cast something like 4.30
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/05/2015 01:45:58 AM
This reminds me of an x-ray.
4 is probably a fair prediction.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/04/2015 09:20:44 PM
eh.... maybe .... LOL I will guess a 4.4 just a bit higher
I voted a five only because I like the shapes of the black and white
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/04/2015 06:34:46 PM
These almost look like an icy hand reaching for goodness knows what. 4.21
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/04/2015 05:40:17 PM
I voted before looking at titles, now commenting.

You might make a 4, but I think it might actually end up lower is the noise, cut off composition, and general unpaid (to me). I gave you a 4.

My guess: 3.98
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/04/2015 04:41:43 PM
The X-ray of these awful icicles.
Isn't this where you normally end up score wise? 4.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/04/2015 09:45:18 AM
5 Ghostly.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/04/2015 04:44:04 AM
Something quite artistic about this that I like. However I don't feel the majority of voters will share my view so I estimate 5.1
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/03/2015 06:35:10 PM
I see fire and ice, ghostly and mysterious.
I'm two points higher than your guess.
My guess is that I voted higher than others so my overall guess is 4.7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/03/2015 06:01:55 PM
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score well, I gave you a four and I think that you will finish at 3,8952
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/03/2015 04:07:31 PM
I gave this a seven. Love the creepy hand-like figure. Perfect slanted lightness across the top. I could imagine this hanging on my wall. Might come back to bump. I predict 4.7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2015 04:36:32 PM
four and a half and I'll raise you one. 5 for the icicles.
