These non-artistic voters. . .ya gotta love them. . .or do we hate them ??? Sometimes I'm not sure. . .but I do really like this photo, challenge or no. And I love your frame. Those top and bottom frames add a touch of class without closing in the picture.

Oh come on now, what's wrong with a woman beating a drum? This is really interesting - I have never seen anything like this. It's too bad more people did not leave comments about what they were looking for. Good composition balance, I like the framing, and the boat is headed out of the pic. Should not have scored below 5 for sure!

Must have been lost in translation? Well, I'm glad I'm not a rower pushing her with the enormous drum as it looks like it weighs a ton! Nice intense expressions captured. I love the smooth line of the boat cutting into the water. (I've never seen a rowing competition like this!)

A Tenuous Solo - a boat full of people and a Drum solo - she doesn't look like Cozy Powell to me! :)
