The POV adds on this shot and takes it up a notch. Removing the extention cord from under the table would help.

For DPC, this is just plain. The technicals are good, great color, focus, etc. But there is no wow factor or really anything that add interests other than there's a tree.

The technicals: Exposure and contrast are well done for minimal editing. Junipers and the like are hard to capture detail in without having them look like a yucky mess. The perfect centering could be a hinderance. I'd have to see it cropped differently.

The feel: A cute capture of the juxtaposition, but not a ton more to this. It's sort of a one-trick-pony shot. Once we "get it" we move on.

The game: Not a bad attempt for minimal editing. You can see with the winners how they managed to get some aspect of the photo to "rise above" and add some real visual interest. That's what you need to work on.

LOL! Love the comment about having the prune fronds to get the one-third line. Or you could crop part of the tree out and subject yourself to the "it didn't have a whole tree!" crowd... I like the subject - interesting to see a juniper growing on a palm. A tad bright on some of the fronds, perhaps, but very good color, contrast and comp for out of the camera.

Hi Paul,

I think you got caught by the people looking for more than 1 tree in the challenge. This is a very nicec image and has nice contrasts to it. I would have rated in the 7 to 8 range if I had voted. But as it stands i think its a grat image for this challenge.

Sorry I couldnt be more of a help.
Rich

Paul, i think this picture should have scored higher than 5.1. You certainly met the challenge. Maybe it is how you framed it so centered. I think the blue sky behind the tree (palm) is stunning and even the bird in the upper right adds to the life of the picture.
