Why does no one like architecture?

I'm fairly new here, but I've noticed that all the photos that seem to be most reverred on this site are almost ALL of flowers, landscapes, or animals. Architecture, cities, and anything random or different seems to get low ratings.

I, for one, am actually a big fan of architecture. I guess I really have no clue why there are few photos other than what you mentioned. I never really noticed the lack in arch, though.
Let's get some of these photos going!! Photo team, GO!

Watch the weather change.
Architecture is a lot harder to shoot in a manner that really expresses the feel or magnificance of the piece. It's also alot harder to shoot in a manner that makes what most people feel is a good desktop background. Consequently, alot of these images do get tougher marks than others seem to.
What's good to note is that we have a crack team of moderators who do not base their decisions of what's great on the c-index score. 8•)

One man sees things and says "why?" - but I dream things that never were and I say "why not?"
Go to the "Photography->Architecture" gallery and sort by c-index.
The main reason there are less images in this category is simply because it's a less popular subject to shoot, probably because more people have access to flowers and landscpaes than interesting architecture or feel more comfortable shooting those subjects.

shooting architecture is an artform .. IMHO .. it requires more than pointing a camera at a building when your tour bus stops at the burrito shack at 12 noon for lunch
(*i kid, i kid*)
in order to fixate a fanciful facsimile of a facade .. one must plan for light and shadow, perspective, pedestrians, plymouths .. or get lucky
and when pondering the puzzling peculiarities of this site's rating system .. you must ALWAYS factor in the desktop wallpaper gene .. does it make a pleasing backdrop for a computer monitor? .. for YOU? .. for somebody else? .. because that is what brought most members here, a search for wallpapers .. they didn't google for high art

I like traffic lights.
But only when they are green.

I've wondered about the architecture shots not getting as high a rating. Most of mine are high 40's, which is not stellar by any means. But I really like a couple of mine, so, it's more up to individual taste. To be honest, I don't judge my images on how high or low the c-index is anymore. I judge them on the comments and critiques they receive.
