Botsalicious...

No offense...but I cant figure out what that image is supposed to be...and not technically schooled to critique it other than say I personally would not hang that on a wall...I might wear it on the back of t-shirt,,,but probably not....is it a ring?

i am not offended you have your own personal opinions robert thank you for sharing ...edit robert i really think your on the fence about wearing it on a t-shirt let me know ,a full blown image print would look fantastic " starburst "

I'm not sure why you mention bots so much if you don't want us to mention them.
As for the image itself perhaps more of a description.
Is it a piece made from scratch on a computer or another image that has been manipulated.
I can't make up my mind.I don't dislike it but I don't really like it either.
Sorry not being much help to you

Love the made up word! lol Great descriptive adjective(?). Like the image.

I have no idea why anyone would pay any attention to the views, bots or otherwise, at all. Totally meaningless number.

Tom, I like everything about the image except for the color. Brown is. well . . . brown, and one of my least favorite colors.

I agree that Bots are a crazy part of the FAA experience. Though I understand their necessity (indexing our work), I don't understand why we need to see them. I can only think they're seen as a morale booster (or a site booster). Would most artists rather see 100 views today -- even though we know 99% of them are bots -- or see a big 1 view, and know it was a real viewer and potential buyer from the real world?

A question for the ages! :-)

just a ice breaker roy ,maybe you could help me with a better description thank you in advance its a photographic manipulation. thank you suzanne glad you like the image shouldn't the title be as playful as the image :} floyd you are so correct really the forums are as much of a distraction as the visitors total. wendy thanks so much how about a purple version perhaps .

I like the first version better, and I do like it!!
At first glance it looks like a dandylion gone to seed, but then you notice the starburst, with its rays turning to gold!!

and Moscow, Tom, you forgot Moscow!

And there's a problem in the lower left corner of the original image as we view it.

Hi Tom,,

I love many of your art pieces and have commented on them and favourited them. I POD them in The Best of Minimalism...but have never been acknowledged, never had you comment on anything of mine, never seen you POD any other members in the Best of Minimalism. I still like some of your work...think its great but feel snubbed and not inclined to comment etc. again.

hi nikolyn that's funny first because moscow did not hit the image at all :) go figure second the cropping error you speak of i spend so much time checking stuff out it makes my head spin finally noticed that after it was uploaded & prior to making a silly thread about bots go figure .thanks so much for all your support with my images i really need to respond /participate in the groups more.

thank you T L mar you are correct it did have a dandelion look/feel to the image ...

i totally understand denise as i stated above that i lack participating in groups and responding with people who take the time/effort such as yourself to show there support for my images...thank you very much do not feel snubbed !

Tom, the purple version is 100% more appealing to me. :-)
