Classic Tackyness

you are right about the tackiness, although the thoroughbred tacky postcardmaker would have worked harder on the trees

West Village Brownstones

might not be possible to show more brownstone, maybe there are trees all over, this tree is too dominating even if there are few leaves left

Love the shot, and find the comments you have gotten very interesting. There is a lot to learn here on dpc, not the least about people and how they think. Luckily, there is the saying: Each to his own :)
Some of the best photographers in the world would never ever score high here on dpc, never get a ribbon. I have a feeling they would not care for high scores or ribbons. For them, photography is not about that, it is about art. The same goes in many fields. A good cook can make a gorgeous dinner out of almost nothing and does not need the "best" pots and pans to succeed.
Of course it is fun to score high, and most of us feel how it tickles our self-esteem. I was happy when my became a PB and later I got a ribbon, but in my opinion that shot is a bit boring. In fact my lowest score, my brown ribbon, is one of my favourites.
Keep up the good work, you are an excellent photographer and your learning curve is like a Boeing just after take-off. I wonder why?

Edit: Got to do something about my splellign...

Any headwear for a morsel

Just had a look at the comments you got. Looking at the shot, I sort of like that dark left side, kinda gives you the feeling that the cat is up to no good and is just about to lurk off to that dark corner.
I didn't vote in headwear, but this one is sort of sevenish imo.

Oh, but this perfectionist managed that perfect shot - what is there to hate.
Well done - this is one well deserved ribbon!

congrats on a well deserved ribbon
(could it be that you specs have swapped places, ISO 1/8 and shutter 200?)
