I was disqualified... and I deserve it
:-( :blush: I entered this picture in the contest "The Eye" and I was just a little too cute... I am ashamed and admit my error... but I really like this picture :-)

1. Well
I like it.
I think that it is an alternate interpretation, and a wonderful photo.
So there.

3. It's not my thought, but I like it:
Don't worry about the condition of the field, it's more important to go out and play!

(or something along those lines)

4. I like it a lot too!
I might have cropped it vertically, though I'm not sure...

Anyway, it's a very cool pic, and I say you should not have been disqualified!

:hi:

And your interpretation of the theme! To hell with the judges! ;-)

7. It is an eye.
I think it's a terrific interpretation of the theme. It was the judging that was inflexible and dogmatic.

Was it really specified what kind of "eye" it had to be? I would think there might be some pretty cool eye of the hurricane pics, too.

"The Eye. Only close ups!Not human eyes only!!"

it is just fine and I got a good laugh... I didn't mean any harm and the person opening the challange has the option of DQ. it is all copacetic... I thought of "eye of the storm" also

9. That's a belly laugh. DUzy. If only.....
I just came back from a Tea party rally with Virginia Foxx attending, and yours is a bigger joke than that.
