Yes I know a lot of people will hate this and lowball it, but I also expect a few to appreciate the humor. Certainly a risky shot with some nice flaws to chew on. But I like it and if I don't enter it, I'll always wonder how it would have performed.

Been holding in the 5.65 to 5.7 range most of the challenge. Everytime it inches close to 5.7, someone shoots it down with a 3 or 4. Maybe, just maybe, I could have my "love it or hate it" shot with this?

Post-challenge notes:
Knew this would do mid-pack at best. Almost nailed my goal of a "love it or hate it" entry (more 4's and 6's than 5's). If I'd gotten just one more 4, I would have nailed that goal. Getting such a shot is proving to be harder than getting a ribbon.

I thought he was holding a weapon there and look it's this tiny bottle with delicate ornaments... nah, doesn't scare me, sorry :))). Fantastic shot!
But I know what you mean about creating an entry which will "divide the score", or have a double peak in the score breakdown - more 8-10s and 1-4s than 5-7s, or something like that. That would mean nobody is indifferent to your photo. Now that's a real challenge. Scores like that immediately remind me of posthumous winners (look at them, they have similar number of 1s and 10s :).
But seriously - 4 photos down, is that you General Patton, sir? :)

Amusing capture. Humorous subject. Nice composure. I've no doubt who did this (I think it's mostly cause the eyes remind me of this image //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=895565 )

The only little nit pick I have about it is that it seems a little over saturated... It's fitting to have a red face for this (I'm assuming you're going for the drunken farming fighting, um, 'theme'?) but his hat seems over-vibrant to me. (I think you might get a few comments about this?)
I wonder if his eyes are a little too clear actually. For a normal portrait they're perfect. But, if I'm right with my assertion of him meant to be brawling after a few too many, shouldn't his eyes be maybe a little blood shot? Or perhaps he's just defending his farm?
Hmm.
I like it. I'd vote it around 6 I think.

Wow! Talk about ‘in your face’. That’s a great expression and action you’ve captured which I hope ended well :-)
