A very short time ago, this photo, and the other eight that I uploaded today, were all simultaneously downvoted by 3 or more votes. Why? They are not bad photos and I believe that all will end up as successful, I am certain that the downvotes were aimed at me, as the poster, and not at the photos themselves. But I really don't know why. Could somebody clue me in? I keep getting the impression that somebody (or somebodies) does not want my participation here and is trying to discourage me. I know that others often get down-votes, but not in the huge numbers that I am. I am going to continue posting because I get large numbers of up-votes (greatly outnumbering the down-votes) so I know that the negativity toward my posts is not universal by any means.
