Too small and busy, and unfocused

returning for comments;
I am bumping you up to 5 for effort. This would have made such a nice image because of the stark contrast between foliafe and dark branches. Notice also that the monuments and trees atr tilted. By taking advantage if using the full size allowed, and adjusting contrast and hue-sat, woud have made this a more formidable image.

this looks like it could be a very interesting image, but it is on the small side (you can be up to 640 pixels on your longest side). from what i can see, it looks a bit tilted to the left. the colors look great.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
Good idea reasonably well composed. I'd like it better if it were bigger. Next time, try using the whole allowed pixel dimension (640). There's a bit more contrast and saturation than I personally prefer. You have some wide-angle artifacts. Next time, try getting further away and using less of a wide-angle lens setting. All my personal preferences.

The smallness, and even so the lack of a sense of detail here makes me wonder - it has a near impressionistic feel because of that. Most will certainly mark you down for size issues - and I must, in the end, agree with them.

I find the elements in the image interesting and I quite like the contrast. But I think that the quality of the image doesn't bring out the beauty of the scenary. It's hard to see much detail and size of the image and it look like it's a small crop of a much larger image.

Comment by KDO:
The brilliant colors of this photograph and the underlying values from black down the scale to white create a stiking image. This photograph lacks a focal point for me, however, and so it leaves me feeling like it is not quite complete. My eye can't decide between the trees or the monuements. I would crop it a bit differently, making the monuements the focal point, framed by the brilliant yellows and golds of the leaves.

Comment by Artan:
I like the idea, unfortunately the definition of the monuments is overshadowed by the rather bright saturation of the leaves.

Comment by ahaze:
a good idea that falls because of the small image size and serious lack of sharp detail.
