you have critics because what you have posted is a piece of art. My experience is that when people like something that they are less likely to comment on it, but when they don't like it they'll let you know! Just my experiences, and sociological point of view. Personally, I think it's a shame to focus on the negatives like that.
BTW, I really like the picture. but then again, I'm a plant person.

So I tried x-processing some Ektachrome EPJ 160T, and came up with a shot a
quite like here:

the tech details are on the page, but the thing I'm a bit annoyed with is
that despite me loving the result, noone else seems to share the sentiment
(judging by the measly ratings). I like the blown out highlights (dare I say
bokeh..) and the saturated colours amongst other things. So what's wrong
with it?
For a moment I thought maybe it was just a bad photograph and hours of
staring at the screen and the photo had made it look better in my mind. Then
in a conspiracy theory mode I thought it was Canon users snubbing a Pentax
user, and I checked, and yes! all the bad ratings were done by damn
Canoners! So I went to check one of my better pics:
http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1659027
and though the majority of non Canoners were more lenient, it so turned out
that some Canon users gave good ratings too- but.. Canon users accounted for
more than 95% of the names of people who even bothered to give a rating. We
all know photonet's P.Greenspun doesn't have many good things to say about
the Pentax camp, but could it be it's just one huge undercover Canon
society?
How do we curb this infestation!
Rgds, Ryan
PS. All in jest.. nothing against Canonites.. just a bit confused with my
photo's rating that's all :( didn't think it was that bad..
