Judging is not easy and I intend no offense - we each have to judge through our own eyes and aesthetic sense. I was disappointed, however, to see this comment. The richness of this sharing of our art comes when we each are free to offer our own interpretation of the theme, and then have that interpretation judged on a level field with the others. As a judge, I believed I had to respond and process the interpretations that were offered rather than expect the submissions to conform to my own prior interpretation. Perhaps it is just a matter of style. I would like to hear other opinions about this.
