As he glided past the camera-man, he flashed his most famous pose. The pose that made him a superstar. The pose that earned him his name. The pose that paid for his million dollar Eyrie.

Yes, he flashed Steel Claw, and the gasps of amazement and awe from the crowd told him that he still had the power.

I agree with everything MaryO said. I probably would've given it a 6. From me, that means it's a good image, but it doesn't grab me in a big way. It's pretty, but not spectacular. To me.

Looking at this result you've got a respectable final score, pretty normal distribution of votes in the ever-popular Bell curve pattern, and some nice comments telling you what people like and what they don't. There are always low votes, even on the best entries, and about a billion threads from people trying to understand them. My advice is to not bother trying to understand ;-)

And while I didn't vote on this one, I would have given it a 7 or so. Great color, interesting patterns and a creative approach that made dappled light instead of finding a subject affected by natural dappled light. Were it my image I would hue-shift the orange to blue/purple and center the object; it is almost centered now which always invites people to notice it's slightly off, and the orange interrupts the otherwise fairly symmetrical look of the background.

My 2 or 3 cents ;-)

I have no idea what this is and whether I am viewing artificial dappling or the real thing. Never the less, I kept me interested for a few moments. Bon - chance!

Extra point for the unique way to get dappling.
