I know it's silly, but the challenge was just so damn good that I had to enter - even though my entry isn't exactly the best XD
You know, it's quite difficult making a cardboard box photogenic!
I can't wait to see what the other contestants have come up with though :)

Color, Saturation and Hue: Colors appear pale, due to over brightness. Saturation appears a bit low for the same reason. Hues appear accurate.
Brightness and contrast: Picture is overly bright, and contrast appears low. Most likely because the scene is heavily back-lit.
Focus and depth of field: Focus is hard to juge because of the lighting. But does appear a little soft. Depth of field is adequate.
While the picture is full of technical issues, the sky is featureless, the box is washed out by the back-lighting, etc., it is still interesting and entertaining. The sky is the sky and the only thing that can be done, is throw the box in a different direction to help the lighting and wait for a different day with a more interesting sky.
I think you caught the box at just the right moment, at just the right angle at the top of the frame, so that even though the picture came in last, it still is more interesting than some of those who scored higher.
Thanks for all your lovely comments guys :) *hugs you all* I'm really glad that although it flunked there's still something about it that makes people like it - then I haven't failed completely *G*
Hi Erica, It's usually a tough go on your first couple challenges. Don't take it too hard. I hope you decided to put your Morning/Evening entry in. It would definitely be a new PB for you.
Better luck next time. Scott
You beat out Whiterook for the brown! Congratulations on an accomplishment,... of sorts. Nowhere to go from here but up! I couldn't get the brown when I tried.
