I think your title really takes away from the power of the image you captured, the look on the girls face has a real feel of sadness and I feel like I want to imagine for myself why she feels this way. And then when your title tells me its only because its wet outside and she can't go out and play, well to me the story a viewer would come up with would be more powerful or allow us to reflect on a time when we felt this way. Its just my opinion. and still a great capture of the moment.

This is a nice find but I wish it had more detail and was abit more in focus. Also I don't know what you use to prepare your images for challenges but you might look at this link. You can get more detail if you use the full 150 kb file size limit, yours is 70kb. Hope this is elpful.

I remember you your on my favorites page! I am so glad you got your wings out of that darn tree. Black angel lady maybe one of these timews things will turn your way. Ok now that I am done being an idiot I like your photo and the sad angel is a nice touch in the concrete landscape, my only suggestion would to maybe have shot at an angle where you could have alittle bit more profile and more backgound into the distance. Just a suggestion.

sizing images for submission I am not sre what you use to resize your images for challenges, but I find that having images at the 640 max size and 150 kb size limit helps get the highest scores. I hope this helps you.

Abandoned

I think the infared on this shot doesn't work quite as well, even though it is still an impressive photograph, the infared usually give me a feeling of fantasy surrealism that doesn't make me feel like I am in a desolate place. And the car looks too pretty to have been abandoned for long. But still an impressive photo, but for me not quite right in this challenge.

what an amazing place, I would have desaturated the yellows abit ast the shadows on the mountain seem alittle too harsh, but you still did an excellent job getting tone in the entire image.
