 The Peace demonstrators on Wednesdays at noon.

I have found that people born after 1980 have no clue as to the importance and significance of peaceful war protests. As a matter of fact, I've seen a few younger generation people who have total disrespect for those of us who protest(ed) the war(s).

Steady decline in scores during the last two days. The hatred and pettiness is huge at DPC. Glad I'm leaving. (I have left and will not return.) You all can cut each others' throats!

Ten votes under 5. More confirmation of why I should not reverse my decision to leave DPC.

That's okay. We're all different.

I wish you well.

But... I do think the background should have been blurred a bit with your photography skills.

My decision on aperture was to stop down enough to have all the people in focus. It's "street photography". We don't havce many "streets" in the wilderness. My point in complaining about the sub 5 votes was I don't have a clue as to why the low votes were cast. Although, I've learned recently there are a lot of haters out there. Hence, that's why I'm leaving. Let them cut their own throat. I regreat that I've become a target for the vagrant and derelict photogs. But, that's what happened. I'm out of here.

Curiosity made me go back and look at the scores given on my Top Ten images.

The number of scores below five (four or less) on my top ten highest scoring images out of almost 700 entries... averages 5.2 votes below a "5" score per image.

The least scoring image of the ten scored a final 7.2945

So... I think that you having only five votes under a five vote on an image that scored 5.9091 is excellent! WAY above the percentage of my top ten.

But... I'm okay that you think it's awful.

I wish you well.

God forbid the great and powerful Hanh get's ten votes under 5.

This place will be less negative with you gone.

Good luck on your business but happy to not have to read your complaint's of finishing a respectable 27th out of 102 anymore.

Ten votes under 5. More confirmation it's a sub-par picture and got what it deserved.

Not very good. May want to get the shot set up a little better next time. The cars in the background are a mess. I'd try to open that lens to a 1.4. That would blur out the mess behind the subjects.

They are looking at the passers-by saying how do you argue with that? I love that lady on the left.
