 I shot this out in a light rain, hoping not to ruin my lens or get water droplets onto it. I captured other contrite shots that are common sights in DPC and likely would have done well but, this one spoke volumes to me.

It likely won't do well at all...even though it does have the famous and wildly popular DPC Fave "water droplets" :D. Not many of my shots are doing well lately so, the score of this one doesn't matter and I'm going with what I like for a change for my own reasons. Besides a lovely landscape/waterscape shot, it's all a "Crap Shoot" anyways as to what people will like or won't like. I'm being true to myself with this one.

Score bet: 3.9 to 4.4

*I've had so many 4 range shots lately that it's "home" to me now! LOL*

It's more of an arsty shot with a meaning to me but, will not go well with DPC voters. I know this already.

Comment bets? Hmmmmm....my bet is that they will range from NO comments to let me know why it sucks (LOL)....just a lot of 1 to 3 scores...*if* there are any comments....they will likely be along the lines of...

Just doesn't do it for me

The background leaves are too busy and distracting.

Boring.

Don't like it.

Many will simply whizz on by it in thumbnails to look at "pretty/cutesy shots" and that's ok with me. :)

I'm currently sitting on a shot that is doing miserably at a 4.5 and not one voter has attempted to say WHY they are scoring it so low. Ah well.....

I like your explanation. "Contrite" means "remorseful," though ~_~

I thought it was pretty. I gave it a 6.
