After Challenge Comments: "SOL to me! This is what I get for trying to out-think the voters!
Sadly, the way I have post-processed this photograph makes it appear that the colors are running! This certainly was not my desire...obviously, but past experience tells me that "blown-out" whites get lower scores.
4.55 over-all means that the background didn't need color to prevent a lower score. Undesirable effect, and a less-than-pleasant impact.
Thank You for not being any more harsh than you were... :/" |
