| In the contre Joure challenge, four 1s I either have either ruffled a few feathers or somebody don't like me. I still Feel it was an all right photo |

| unbelievable...and just plain wrong. I will never understand those who hand out 1's. To me a 1 means that the image has no technical merit, does not meet the challenge, AND (not or) is unappealing. Your image fit the challenge, was well executed, and very appealing. |

| I think it's a decent pic, certainly not 1-worthy. (My only nitpick would be the tips of the ears being cropped, but that's very minor). Personally I suspect one person with 4 ghost accounts. It's certainly happened before. |

It was probably the title. You essentially dared people to give you a one and four people obliged.
FWIW - I gave you a 6, due to rounding up. While it's not quite a full 6-level photo, I'd say its better than the 5.3 you got. The focus is a bit soft, but that actually contributes to the photo in a way, I think. Others may not have appreciated the softness. |

This, plus some people just don't like cats, so I suspect they asserted their control. I've learned, don't dare folks here to/not to do something unless you're prepared to deal with the consequences. It's a nice shot, but I question the 9's and 10 as much as the 1. I too think it's a little soft, a little too centered compositionally, but not to the point of it being worth a comment to correct it as it seems a style choice. Had you titled it differently I think you would have seen a nice bell curve between 5 & 6.

| i'd say it has the most to do with people thinking they're funny by saying "okay, i'll type 10.... 1...oh, look, a new picture, now i'll finish the ten and press 0 on this image" |

| Your photo was also one of my favorites. Voting is so crazy, you can never tell the whats and whys of what people are thinking. |

Isn't 1 the keyboard shortcut for 10?
More seriously, titles like that are usually from people going for the brown. People may have been obliging. |

I think they could be DNMC votes. Look at the background of the winners and your image. Your image does not have a strong, singular, lighting source and the main subject appears to have as much or more light than the background.

I agree with this.
Despite that, I really liked your image and gave you an 8. |

as the only 10 vote, let me give my 2 cents on why you got 4 1's. while this cat guy found your title awful, it TOLD ME to vote 10! normally, if a title "begs" I will be in the group that gives it a protest vote of 1. this time I decided to go the other way. sorry, I know a 1 is a no-no for some here, but I can list several reasons why a "1-vote" is appropriate, and none of them are listed by those that have some kind of rigid "code" for such things. |
