I saw your request for a comment on Art's 10,000th comment thread. Here is my take. First, the post processing on the cross (B&W conversion, contrast) is nicely done. Two things hurt your score. First was the subject itself. The sand is not the main focus of the image no matter what your title implies. Plus, fun cheerful images score better than this type of image. Second, the background is extremely distracting. If you cropped out the top 1/2 to 2/3 of the image (giving it a landscape orientation instead of portrait), the size and placement of the cross makes for a stronger composition.

Whoa! That is EXACTLY what I was gonna say - word for word. ;-)

I ended up opening 16 browser windows, one for each image and I commented on them in random order and then I clicked the post button on each, also in random order. So even the order they were posted in is not the order in which I commented. So we will never know and each of you should consider yours #10,000.
Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Thanks again. |
