This is crap!

That you're talking? Very true.

If it's so wonderful, why did you dump it near the end of your stream?

Because it isn't mine.

You wouldn't get your usual shower of accolades.

Nor should I, because it isn't my picture. I agree that the image quality (resolution) is poor, having been taken on a very early 4MP digital camera, but it's still a very pleasing and evocative image.

This one is better.

More interesting with the boat, but the lighting's too flat.

How about this (top) for the best of both worlds?

No, it's not the best of both worlds, just another example of your soulless 'artform'.

Which (were it my own picture) would certainly have got the usual shower of accolades.

Your psychophants seem a pretty undiscerning lot.

Yes.
