Ok I gave you 3 so here goes:)

My first impression of your photo was what is the focus of the pic? there is not one place in the photo which draws me in.

I then didnt hang around to get a second impression because I had nothing to look at:(

This is not supposed to upset or offend you just my plain honest feelings about the photo.

I guess if it doesn't hit you in the face it just won't score well.

Interesting that such a poor scoring shot didn't get many comments saying why it stinks. (Hey folks, if you give it a low score you are supposted to leave a comment why you did it!)

It's also in focus. There just happens to be alot of moisture in the air.

Neat clouds, but the shot as a whole seems to lack a point of interst to really focus in on, leaving your eyes to wander around.

Too plain, nothing that stands out.
