Yaay! Got the brown! Now it's time to get serious... Thank you all for the low votes, but I really don't understand the 5 to 10 votes!? I would vote 2 on a crappy image like this, 1 is reserved for crappy & DNMC ones.

The title is actually inspired by the Carl Sagan's book "Pale Blue Dot" - Earth as seen from far in the universe. The pale red dot is what hopefully a certain political party is going to become in the world's memory...

Congratulations on achieving your goal! That's a gloriously pathetic low score, and you can be proud of your effort.

The photo could use a bit more focus. Also would be better if you played with the crop some (ie placing the dot in one of the corners or something)

I see. But I see only the dot, more context would have helped!

What is this? It isn't enough to hold my interest.
