Hi there,
I think I must agree with most of the commenters that your subject is not easy to find in this photo.
The main focus must be on your wife and I would have chosen a tighter crop.
Think while doing post processing about the 640 Pixels maximum, and try to use them.
Try to fill up as much of that 640 Pixels with your main subject.
The whole key in scoring here at DPC is to lure the voters into voting higher, and the way to do that is “impact”
A few rules I have learned here at DPC are:
- Make sure the voter understands in 1 second what you are trying to say.
- Make sure your subject is in focus.
- Saturate as much as you can, over saturate and then go 1 step back (that will slam the picture in their face)
- Sharpen; try various methods of sharpening until you find something that you like. Then after resizing sharpen again (read this tutorial:
//www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=26 )
- Use the rule of thirds as much as possible, I know this is a rule that you can break, but here on DPC it’s a rule you can’t break, otherwise some people believe your photo is not good.
Off course these rules are not always right, but generally I think if you try to stick to most of these rules you will see your score get up.
I hope this helps you in any way.
Keep up the good work.
Peter
