I had very little time to attempt anything for challenges recently. I completely missed the "what doesn't belong" challenge and nearly didn't get anything for this. Because of that, I think this shot has suffered. I didn't get a chance to really think ahead of time what I wanted to do, and thus I missed out on better opportunities. I like this photo ok, but it's far from great. I'm betting voters see it with similar eyes.
