Oh, come on, how is this only a 5.2? I personally like it a lot. It just flows of "hate". I don't know how natural the red eyes are, or if it's photoshop, but it works so well. I gave it a 9 (apparently the only one :)

I feel this image conveys the hate message a lot more than "I hate cleaning the toilet" and so on... Maybe a more subtle title would have worked. And probably more context too, though it would have distracted attention from the red eyes.

nothing about this except the title conveys the idea of "hate."

Its all in the eyes. He looks like he hates you. A tighter crop on the head is all I would suggest. Good capture.

Nice shot of a bear, but I don't see the "hate" aspect

colors appear to be washed out and flat

Well shot! And the look in the bear's eyes does indeed seem to reflect hatred (7)

I'm unable to tell that this bear is caged from the tight cropping you used here. The title would be more effective if shot differently.

I like the angle and captured feeling in the eyes of the bear. Good Job!

Really like this one. The image is not title dependent and you can get a sense of hate just from looking at the bear's expression. The only thing I could see that would help the shot is a contrast and saturation boost, and getting rid of the noise in the low-light areas of the photo. I assume this was probably shot with a point and shoot camera that's gonna produce noise like that, or at a very high iso since it's daylight outside. You should be on track for a good finish in this challenge. Good luck!

unfortunately the shadow is very distracting, love the expression of the bear though.
