Entry comments

Ed, I am really surprised by the seven, .05 low score votes on your entry! This is a fine image IMHO and does not deserve this many lowest scores. Clearly this is some kind of strategic voting to lower the placement standings on images that others feel are threatening to there own entries.

It never fails to amaze me how low some scum people can and do stoop to on the net.
