I understood that when very few commented on the first one that it was likely because there just wasn't a lot of interest in it - and I'm more than fine with that. Really, having few if any comments is "input" enough for me to realize that any particular photo just isn't having much impact. I wasn't "fishing" for comments, I just wondered if the lousy crop of the first one was part of what wasn't drawing people into the photo. I guess it was more than that, eh? ;-) I suspect the reason it's so muddy looking is because it was shot through the glass of the shelter. I really had to crank up the contrast to get it the way it is.
