Author, there is no such thing as blind votes. This is where the vote power comes in. Sometimes you can have 50 votes and only 1 view, this can happen if the members has 5000 vote power.

800 votes that's a good amount, the 600 views: a lot of ppl just watch and do not vote, or you have been on the front page for a long time, but what do you mean with the 200 blind votes?

Suggesting there has been some cheating going on?
I suggest you read up the votingsystem and how mods work. Looking at the other entries I think you have nothing to complain, some where better and others where not as good, you got a far ranking / rating IMHO.

Thumbs up..... good imagination... l like your image. Good luck!

Yes, clever Osprey ship! Great find on the disc.

love the space ship made out of the Osprey cool!!!

Cool, like the idea, and the disc mothership

Nice. I'm not sure B&W is the best for this one (although I obviously haven't seen it in color) and might have cropped just a little more closely

Cool

Lovely, but I would crop some off the sides to make the white more dominating.

what a disturbing image, well done.

Funny, playful creature..... Love them cracking up rocks and oysters. Good luck!

Good lighting

good shoot

AWESOME!!!

Nice!

Nice GL

Great quality on Hi-res, nice one. Good luck

nicely captured

Very nice outcome author, I like it. Good luck!

fractillious (sp?) is an awesome filter! ;]

Awesome results =)

I would have entitled it: "car wash and polish"!

Congrats!!

Out of the box..awesome idea!..GL

Not that's cool! Nice work.

Great job...best of luck!

That should be heavy to handle. Very creative author, good luck ^^

fun thinking

wanna ride this, very well done. gl

You don't show the wheels in SBS.

Source for wheels?

I'd use the blur tool at about 15% strength around the edge of the surf board. As it sits now the edge seems a but jagged. The color match is perfect thought. I think If you blur that edge, you'll have an awesome blend. Good luck author!

Yeah....not much work, but interesting....

I think it is a nice image, and the blending looks good.... good luck author.

Although this is an example of bokeh author, it would be better image if something were actually in focus...you might want to consider a different image.

Is easy to see a zig-zag in the upper board side, even not opening the hi-res image.

Now look much better

Not much work done here, IMO

nice bokeh

The forelegs of the twin are in a wrong position. They should be at the same height of the front legs of the other sheep, otherwise when you look at the image you have the feeling that there is something wrong in it.

VOTERS -- See the high res before voting

nice focus -- great image

I've seen these a couple of times, they are amazing insects. Nice capture. I agree a better crop would have made this a much stronger image, though.

Very nice... might crop just a bit more closely

Make it strapless.

i would cover the bands on the shoulders too to finish it. it looks quite nice but not finished in my opinion. ill hold off my vote

Beautiful

no comment...my fav.

Wonderful job...being able to actually see a shadow of the snake inside the noodle makes this a winner.
