I don't see the unexpected visitor. My computer might show the picture darker than some because all I see is the green around the edge and a black area in the middle. Might keep this in mind.. that if your picture is unusually dark, to some people it will just look black.

This is too abstract and plain. I don't find it particularly interesting at all.

Just browsing around and came back to this shot; how it didn't win astounds me, let alone coming in 7th. One of the more memorable shots here, in my opinion.

I don't get how this didn't place AT LEAST in the top 20. I give up on what the voters here think is a good or bad picture. I personally love this pic and think that you were robbed. Better luck next time.

Excellent depth of field. The lady in the powered cart is a nice added bonus.

Why the tree in the foreground?

oh goodness! my first bit of attention was at the lady on the motorized thing.. LOL I guess that means you might have missed keeping the attention on your main subject, despite the background being out of focus. I am curious how this shot would have turned out if you did a very severe crop right above that little that is above the wheels.. might have worked out, or might just be me off on a flight of fancy! :)

Which, the bike wheels or the lady on the scooter?

One of my fav's so far. I pick this one to place. If it doesn't do well (top ten at least), then your work has not been appreciated (sometimes that is a complement).
