I will delete this tomorrow! I seldom look at "photo ratings" or whatever it is called where we are allowed to "rate" pictures, but I happened upon the rating for this photo. Only one person voted and gave it a 6 and I am thankful they were not on the committee in 1958 where over a thousand photos were entered and this one won! I wonder about the anonimity of these votes and why someone would bother to steal the fun from a photo taken by an eleven year old boy?

An excellent shot for an eleven year old boy, and a priceless memory for a awesome guy like you Jerry.Julie Mayser 03 Nov 2010
We can vote???? I thought that option was disallowed years ago! If the voting is 1-10.. then I give it a 10~ But don't know where to vote. I think this is a wonderful photo and especially by an 11 year old boy! I would be proud to have accomplished a wonderful photo with such great composition!!!Stefani Wehner 03 Nov 2010
Don't worry about this stupid vote, Jerry: I love this marvelous image, absolutely charming.Nelly van Nieuwenhuijzen 03 Nov 2010
love this photo, is BEAUTIFUL!! AND I don't allow to let vote my work by narrow minded creatures with darkness in their eyes.... beauty is in the beholder eyes and art is difficult, too difficult for the common ppl. be proud of this work Ben!!Delia Pacheco 03 Nov 2010
I rarely come to AW but I'm glad I came today and saw this photo, it is the first one I clicked on...and it indeed is wonderful...I love sepia printing of photos. I'm glad you did not delete this...I see my cousin Beatrix and friend Ruth also liked it. As for my art here, I really don't care anymore about the voting, it seems useless.Aqua1955 03 Nov 2010
Well Jerry we'll just make it my pic of the day :) Why? Just because it is so special and with an old camera made... these nummers don't mean a thing to me... I like something or don't and this one I do love.ruth sears 03 Nov 2010
I agree Jerry,I had the vote ability on my account when I first joined and on a couple works,probably the same mean person,they gave me a five or six,and they were my best,so I deleted that option.I love this!
