Tarra Bullga Rainforest

Nature works wonders in this damp place...huge trees and ferns...and

not a single weed...hummm...could work wonders for my own backyard to

give her control...

This is the worst rating picture I have ever had up on Photo Net, would someone please tell me why...comments from some of the lower raters would be too much to ask, but perhaps tell me where I have gone so wrong with this shot...

Roger, I would ignore the ratings if I were you. I've noticed my last postings are averaging in the 4's. I think this deserves far more than 4's or even 5's and will rate accordingly! Nice contrast, color and composition.

Ratings have gone down since they took off the 1's and 2's...thus we have a shorter scale...now...and 3's seem to be the new "hit" Linda and I always seem to get at least two on every upload. You are right, for the most part I ignore them...just when I first go to see comments, the details come up for a second and I was taken by surprise by the extreme low rating on this shot.

I try not to even look at the ratings if I can help it, Roger. Comments are far more valuable, imo.

Roger,to me is that your photos can bring me into your world and I can sense the presence as if i were there. Sometime I can even smell the air there. Excellent shot!!!

Your kind words have made my day...!

shots are sometimes definately underrated and sometimes overrated... on the other hand I see a tendency on pn to fine art work more then to photograpically great work, or the combination of it. Nothing against it, but its a narrowed view imo that doesnt do justice to many great shots. As for this shot, it is not bad, but measured by youre standard not very good as well :-) (the tree and branches on the left disturb the graphicall effect a bit imo) Still I like the photo as well for the richness of the forest here (wow).

cheers on a pleasent spring day here..

Richness is waht I was after...to show the feel of a rainforest, trees growing our of the damp green covered floor, reaching out intot he Sun...like being in a Greenhouse ! Yes, I agree, the brances on the left...a bit of a distraction...

It's wonderful mate: keep shooting :)
