And with that last one, Jonsey, you get a "meh." It's a picture of ground next to part of a gray porch, probably early morning or late afternoon. (I qualify it because it looks like a rural/remote area that may not have Internet and/or cell towers, and may or may not have been uploaded very soon after taking. If so, then it's early morning based on the time stamp of your message.)
This picture just doesn't seem to work for me the way your other photos do. Perhaps it's because it's mostly earth tone, or that there is nothing vibrant and alive in the picture.
I do not wish to hurt your feelings, but my praise to you is given when I see outstanding work. This one is not a bad picture per se, just ordinary. Just like with Flack, I want to encourage you when you go great work so you'll do more of it, and where it's not as good, say why, in hopes it makes you do better. I'm sure even Ansel Adams didn't always do fantastic work, we just never got to see the duds.
I realize it's the vibrant colors that made your pictures so significant. I looked back and realized it was either the bright, almost oversaturated colors such as Q-Bert, or the gel effects, or the simple image of a bright eyed and bushy tailed cat. Animals lend interest to a picture, as do lighting and color. Get the same picture just as dawn breaks over the horizon and it might be something really spectacular.
