I at least ought to get some credit for admitting my score given and listing reasons why. *smile*
I get many low scores and have no clue why, since most don't take the time to leave their critique.
My opinion about this image is still true... and I'm sorry if my honest critique offends you... truly, I am.
I am guilty of being prejudiced... like most here... but I don't vote images down just because they don't appeal to me. I hate snakes, but give an honest opinion of the photographic talent shown when I encounter a snake photo.
littlegett has some images that appeal to me, but this is not one of them.
Yeah I mean people like lydia are accustomed to a certain style that they stick with and judge everything accordingly. I'm not totally 'into' this sort of stuff but I would never vote anything down the way that at least 50 people seem to have spitefully done on this pic. This photograph isn't perfect (I think maybe the lighting and colors could be less harsh and background is drab, unless thats what you were going for...) but it has a lot of other merits where if the subject was a kid pointing a bat or lollipop or something, voters would swoon all over it. Don't get down on that, if you get at least one fave it means you've touched someone and thats what matters.
Whoa.. .this is just really not a good photo. There's nothing that appeals to me here. The red 'blood' and the red of her face and hair bands clash...and the hair in pigtails and her mouth hidden and... and... I'm sorry. It's the first 1 I've ever given, I think. I'm sorry.
