Had you said nothing, I would think this is a very cool photo. Even after all you have said, I still think this is a very cool photo.

So before you discount yourself, I also noted that you're a member of @thealliance, and based on what I've read so far, that's a pretty smart move. I want to join, too.

In a group of photog peers, they may find agreement with your assessment, but for people like me who just like cool pics, I think you got a great shot. Carry on.
