But also notice the average you got from voters during voting - that's HUGE. Huge, I tell you! Congrats on a great shot that really resonated with some!
I think Deb meant the average you got from commenters/voters who commented during voting..
It really is an awesome photo, and was in my top 3 of the challenge.
There's a Tiny Violin award for not quite reaching 6.0 (OK, not a real award, but a thread where you can post your picture if you want.) But also notice the average you got from voters during voting - that's HUGE. Huge, I tell you! Congrats on a great shot that really resonated with some!
thanks for the great comments everyone! I ALMOST got a 6+ score. would've been my first (of my limited entries).
the parade had just started, so I think she was still in marching band shock mode. I liked the moment.
@ paulbtlw - appreciate the kind words about the image. I was inspired to get onto 1x.com and upload the photo. unfortunately it wasn't published. maybe next time. it's a great site.
I'm glad you gave it ago. I'm surprised it didn't hit the mark. I'd have given it high marks in member screening had I come across it.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Wonderful framing! Lovely portrait image with bags of background interest making for a very strong story. For my money, a perfect conversion too.
Critical stuff: Nothing
Overall: I'm surprised I haven't seen it on 1x.com - I'm confident it would get published there.
