Wow! Interesting. Wasn't sure if I liked it or not when I first saw it, because it's so different from what we always look at here. But, yes, I do like it. A lot. Good luck in the challenge!

A really classy shot of a really unappealing subject.

Hey, I saw this in the underrated thread. I didn't vote in this challenge, but I like the shot, and you seem interested in real comments, so I thought I'd chime in....I would have given it 6. The message is good, it's nice and sharp (maybe a bit too sharp), and it's original. I like the simple composition, probably because I tend to do the same kind of thing. I think there's a couple of reasons it didn't do better. For better or worse, in DPC, it only takes a couple of minor technical issues to drop the score a couple of points. The focus issue that Puckzzz mentioned, the out of level trash can, and the oversharpening probably took a full point off of your average. The other thing is that the lighting is a bit harsh. I think the other thing that might have hurt you is that people had to read the title to understand what the picture is about. I don't know how you would do this theme another way, but a lot of people only look at the picture for a couple of seconds. If they have to do any reading, your score will drop.

I know that you know what you're doing, so I won't try to second guess....but I gave it a low vote, so I should comment. It was obvious that it was a nightlight or air freshener or something, and the pattern was fine, but it was also scuzzy dirty, which I found to be more disgusting than interesting. Hence the vote. Sorry.

Gorgeous portrait (and gorgeous dog, too). This would have done very in the pet portrait challenge.
