Reply #4: Well, I am a baby voter [View All]

[Celebration]

The strawberries are great, but, frankly, I am amazed that they are ahead in the poll. I mean, it's a really good picture, but strawberries are always red. Every time I look at them they are red. There just isn't anything surprising about the picture. It looks like a very well composed, beautiful red picture.

But Baby? Good grief, I don't think I have ever seen such hair, such RED hair on a kid. You have this red haired kid standing right next to a red shawl. They are both red, but they look like two entirely different colors. I look at it and say "Whoa, these colors are so different how can they both be red?" It truly looks like you captured the moment. I'm not going to say that it does this as well as the homeless guy with the dog, but it has that same type vibe, in a way. It is far more likely to bring an emotional response from the viewer than the strawberries, even if they would be more likely to want the strawberries on the wall. Honestly, I thought the homeless guy and dog was by far the best entry last month, but I would not have wanted that on my wall.

I don't know this, but I think it probable that were this poll in GD, the baby would win hands down.

Usually I just vote in polls and don't comment, but I feel pretty strongly about this one.
