What the heck, I understood your photo... -_- I don't get it, what happened in this challenge? This is a great photo that should have done much better! It especially didn't deserve 10 1s and 14 2s.
Your use of negative space/clouds & sky really draws your eye to the sign (not to mention with the red of the sign as you said). And there is nothing BAD about it at all! |

Actually, your comment was funny and not too far off. If you had followed it with, "No, seriously..." and what you said above, I would have marked is as helpful (and wouldn't have called you out in public--sorry about that--I was extremely sleep deprived at that point).
My intention was kind of a humorous elevation of the mundane kind of choices one faces at a Chinese buffet to the major life choices we make (the expanse of celestial clouds gave me that notion). I originally titled it, "Life is a buffet, choose wisely" but in my perverse way I felt that was too direct. I have an almost pathological aversion to insulting the viewer's intelligence with leading titles. Obviously, the double-meaning was too obscure and needed the clarity of a different title.
Thanks for the follow-up!
