After much thinking for this challenge I ended up going for this minimalistic, abstract-ish shot of a piece of paper =) since it was advanced editing I decided to completely change the colours around and ended up with this week's entry.

Well I don´t really know what to say about this image so I´ll start with that I really like it. I am not big on minimalism but this one is very well done in that genre and if I had voted I probably would have given this a 7. It´s well lit, easy on the eyes, well done compositionally and of course meets the challenge very well. I do understand that people voted it low though, usually to impress the DPC voters you need something that looks like it took a lot of effort and gives off that "wow" factor that is so elusive.

I do not think you should worry what other people think as you comment after the challenge was over, if you like photos like this, just keep on entering them and think that 63 people gave it a 7 score or higher so they must have really liked it and ignore the one´s that gave a 4 or lower. There is more to photography than scoring well and winning ribbons on DPC :)

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.


Yes I have noticed that the voters here look for effort in each challenge, which is fair enough but at the same time who's to say my entry didn't require effort?! I spent quiet some time working on it, so I'm not too sure if what people see as effort here. Then again my entry was very very simple and I agree that maybe needed the WOW factor that your talking about!

I do completly agree with you there is much more to photography than a ribbon hehehehehhe Thanks very much for the critique tho, some really encoraging words!!

You are brave to enter something so simple. The simplicity is a plus as far as I'm concerned, but a little more key on the tip of the page would push this up a notch I think

Simple. Clean. I think maybe too much so. It might not score well.
