it's not exactly photojournalism, unless you work for national geographic. which works. i'm gonna give it a ten because it's actually really good compositionally, and the artifacts create an interesting texture. and everyone else will hate it. that's ok, i think you did a wonderful job.

This image is extremely blured and pixelated on my end. Originally I scored you very low. However after careful consideration I Could see this image published in some naturalist magazine or something of that "NATURE"

Comment by psychephylax:
Wow is this pixelated or what! Did you try blowing this up to fill the frame or is this the digital zoom on the camera? Also, flowers are kind of overdone so this does not inspire me to give you a high score.

More grain than a wheat storage bin. The photo editor says it is very artistic but will not make the front page. JEM

Comment by Gracechild7:
Hrm.... Well, it's a nice shot. Angle and composition are nice. I'm wondering however about the jpeg artifacts? Was that intentional, or the byproduct of too much editing and/or a lower quality camera? I can see how it might have been intentional in order to give it the grainy effect of, say, a newspaper printing. Benefit of the doubt on that. But I fail to see how this fits the challenge. Your title doesn't even help me make up a story to believe in... :/
