This photo did get a high score, but may have more comments than any other in this challenge. That's got to count for something, right?

This is what the cops on CSI really get when they enlarge and enhance a photo in the computer. You get an A+ for originality!

not really a photograph anymore is it

The picture by itself doesn't say technology to me.

Hm... I don't dislike it, and it would probably make a lovely big canvas on a white wall, but I don't really think I can recommend it as a photo! When does a photo cease to be a photo? When its reduced to 6 pixels, I guess.

Honestly, this does nothing for me... Absolutely nothing... Has no content... I would much rather see the swamp... I apologize, but just stating my most honest opinion... but it did catch my attention...

Is cool, I like this image a lot but how does it show technology? It could just be paint swatches.

3 - highly reduced score
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/04/2007 05:22:30 PM
Nice lark. It could have scored a lot better if the pixels were interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/03/2007 03:54:38 PM
Maybe too extreme...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/03/2007 02:58:40 PM
Right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 10/03/2007 02:43:56 PM
Fabulous - Not. 1 This is no longer a photo. I fail to see how anyone is going to rate this higher than a 1, most will probably skip it...

Seems like someone is going for brown on purpose - no vote from me
 10/03/2007 11:02:20 AM
Very close to my favorite photo, a strong statement about photography and Technology.

This is bold.

Maybe 16 pixels next time? 6 is awfully small. Kind of Rothko-ish, however it lacks the impact as everything is too uniform. It is essentially just six squares and with the color sequence seems a tad simple. Still give you a 6 for the creative foresight.

Shooting for Brown, eh?
