I have found that people born after 1980 have no clue as to the importance and significance of peaceful war protests. As a matter of fact, I've seen a few younger generation people who have total disrespect for those of us who protest(ed) the war(s).

Steady decline in scores during the last two days. The hatred and pettiness is huge at DPC. Glad I'm leaving. (I have left and will not return.) You all can cut each others' throats!
Ten votes under 5. More confirmation of why I should not reverse my decision to leave DPC.

I take some 1s and sigh... you take some and leave.
That's okay. We're all different.
I wish you well.
But... I do think the background should have been blurred a bit with your photography skills.
My decision on aperture was to stop down enough to have all the people in focus. It's "street photography". We don't havce many "streets" in the wilderness. My point in complaining about the sub 5 votes was I don't have a clue as to why the low votes were cast. Although, I've learned recently there are a lot of haters out there. Hence, that's why I'm leaving. Let them cut their own throat. I regreat that I've become a target for the vagrant and derelict photogs. But, that's what happened. I'm out of here.
Curiosity made me go back and look at the scores given on my Top Ten images.
The number of scores below five (four or less) on my top ten highest scoring images out of almost 700 entries... averages 5.2 votes below a "5" score per image.
The least scoring image of the ten scored a final 7.2945
So... I think that you having only five votes under a five vote on an image that scored 5.9091 is excellent! WAY above the percentage of my top ten.
Not very good. May want to get the shot set up a little better next time. The cars in the background are a mess. I'd try to open that lens to a 1.4. That would blur out the mess behind the subjects.
