I read the first few posts on this thread and did not know who Scott was and so was unsure of which picture was being talked about.
Today I noticed a link to all the POTW winners and looked at a few to see which was the one under discussion. Based on the comments, Scott's photo (Scribbles ) was the 4th picture I looked at.
So I found 3 other photographs that to my mind could have fitted the criteria that was being criticised. To my mind that just shows how much of personal opinion is involved.
One criticism is that it was a test shot with a new lens. So be it. Is that any worse than Sassan sticking his camera on a tripod and pointing it at the sky for 17 minutes. Probably not.
Each of the winning POTW photographs bring something to the party. Personally I prefer to see ordinary objects photographed well and with a new dimension rather than a panoramic view of Everest from base camp, a picture that most people will never be in a position to take.
All in all I am happy for a POTW to be chosen, I am not interested in voting on the matter but it might be a good idea to qualify why that particular picture has been selected.
