Good choice of perspective, but seems to need a little more visual oomph to make it DPC friendly. This might look great as a contrasty b/w.

Doesn't look like that cable lock helped much. My favorite from this challenge so far.

I expect this will get slammed in voting, but it made me stop to think about what you were trying to do or convey. I don't have a clue, but you get some pointage for making me slow down and think about it.

The light on the buildings makes them look almost computer generated.

I like the textures here and you have some good contrast and details. Maybe the composition could draw the eye around a little better.

Reminds me of two of my own entries.

This one did poorly, and I expected it to. I was after strong appeal for a narrow crowd, and the comments indicated that those people saw exactly the same thing that I did.


This one surprised the heck out of me, however. I generally expect abstract to perform mediocre at best in any challenge that is not abstract specific.

Reminds me a bit of one of my own entries that scored even worse.


A lot in common, I think. Mine suffered from being shot at the long end of the zoom, in bright overhead sun.

A good shot, but I think what kept it down was the wealth of top notch hummingbird shots that people have seen on DPC before. A high ISO setting resulted in more noise grain to the image than you probably had to have. I generally use ISO 400 as a good general purpose walkabout setting, and in bright light, I use 200. I only take it higher when conditions dictate.
