I can't see my score, any reason for that which you can think of? I can see my comments though...

Bit sad that some people don't seem to know what a landscape is.

Does it preclude a horizontal orientation?

sad? I have the vaguest idea of what it is, a landscape, but I am not therefore sad.

Prohibit a horizontal orientation? I would have said some voters might feel that a landscape must have a horizontal rather than a vertical orientation. I don't feel that's true at all - but I would like some sense of expanse to the scene. Have neither viewed the entries nor voted yet, so I'm just talking generally here.

My point was that a picture of a ballerina or bowl of fruit in horizontal orientation could arguably be considered "landscape photos."

Got it :) And any subject in a vertical presentation could qualify in a portrait challenge. Don't think I'll be testing this theory out, though :)

The voters and I do not see the same things. It's laughable. I guess it doesn't matter any more.

This is not the proper time for a discussion, but there is much misunderstanding about natural landscapes vs. cultural landscapes.

...what's sad are the small teensy boxes some people seem to reside in...sucks for them though.

What sucks is the person who just gave me a 3.
