madmax, I understand your frustration, sometimes I thought the same. I've noticed that if you make a fantasy blurred image or a "diagonal horizon" image, you get in the hot 20, but... at the end... who cares.... we are in the globalisation era, everyone has the same tastes and that partcular kind of images are trendy at the moment....I'll continue to do what I feel to do, and will be happy if certain peoples will critic my image, not everyone...
