Recognition in this thread accounts for the large number of views.

A third of those are probably mine. :-)
I never said it wasn't a good image, nor do I disagree that voters generally like oft-repeated pretty pictures.

By the way, here's a link to the "I'm an unrecognized genius..." thread.

It's like running over an animal in your car, then coming back a few days later to admire the carnage.
Brilliant.

Maybe it's time to take photos of cliched, pretty things.

Or maybe just time to read the challenge description. :-p

??? The challenge description was fairly straight-forward:
"Not the color - the concept. Reduce, reuse, recycle."

Are you surprised at the results?

"Soylent Green is people!"

IMO this doesn't really convey "green" as stated in the challenge. The color maybe, but not the concept.

Dark comment on the state of affairs.

I love the shot, quite haunting, but I'm not seeing how this fits the challenge?

Does Barbie have a tribal facial tattoo? Interesting image, but I don't see an ecology connection.
04/29/2009 11:31:06 AM
Hah, maybe if this was a bit more connected to the challenge description rather than just the title I'd give this a higher score...

I'm going to go ahead and assume this has to do with mass consumption of plastic. Barbie to me represents an unusual conformity and distortion of humanity; a waste of plastic. So this one works for me.
