Thanks, Renee and Scott,, well I'm not sure how it ended so low, that's why I'm posting my alternates. Trying to figure out why it was perceived as such a lousy shot! <>>
My guess is that it was too abstract for people. I have a hard time seeing abstract things. I just don't see them as I don't often "get" slap stick humor.
It's just who I am...very serious and literal by nature - always have been. That is why I am drawn to photography -- it is the most literal artform.
