 My entry was heavily downvoted in the last hours before voting ended. When I went to bed the evening of the last day of voting it was at exactly 6.000. During the voting it had slowly come down from a first vote of 9 and then dropped to around 6.4 where it hovered for most of the time before slowly going down to 6.000 on the evening of the last day of voting. Then I woke up this morning to see it had crashed to 5.6667 during the night and morning.

Perhaps I also misinterpreted the challenge description which was: Description
Use a camera and your processing skills to make some art :-)
I took it too literally perhaps thinking it meant that you had to change the photo you took into some type and form of painting or art through the editing process with software. Most of the entries did just that but I see that quite a few are just photos which have
not been manipulated into a painting or art in any way at all. Of course any photo is a form of art in it's own right already therefore the challenge description
concerning the "processing skills" made me think it was referring to using some sort of software or manipulation through editing to change a normal photo into something
abstract or impressionistic or whatever.

Outtake: Maybe this one would have done better.

Here is the original photo of a cannabis leave that I took and used to create my "Art"

I thought this was great Fred .. sorry about your huge drop ..

and I dont know why it happens .. but on almost all my photos they drop significantly in the last few hours of voting .. a .2 drop is usual .. but often even more .. which makes a huge difference to placement in the challenge if sitting mid 6's ..

but your drop was insane .. :(

had a relationship with Mary Jane back in the day .. we were pretty much an item .. then we broke up ..
she came back into my life fairly recently .. and we catch up occasionally .. but just as friends .. ;)

anyway.. i'm loving your fine art .. the colours are so vibrant and exciting ..
it's a perfect vibe for Mary Jane .. :)
