I will bet without this crop this photo was not that much. You have a very good eye and have created an excelent entry. I like it a lot....10

Love the idea but the size you're constrained to respect for DPC doesn't do this idea justice. It's hard to appreciate the details at this size.

Unique concept, but too overexposed for my liking (the edge around the parasailer looks uneven because of it) and too much white space to keep the interest of the viewer for long.

A clean uncluttered image with just the sea below and the parasailer high above. Cropping is good for it calls attention directly and instantly to the main focus - the parasailer sailing high above the ocean waters. It also gives the viewer a sense of height and distance. My only critiques on improving the image would be that the color on the parasail be more richer in hue such that it really pops of the page - here it looks a little washed out. Also if the parasailer could be in sharper focus such that more details are visible would be good.

6 - Like the concept. Criticism; obviously the size restrictions don't do this justice but even still, it seems too 'high key'/contrasted to the point where too much detail, especially in the 'sail' has been lost. Be nice to be able to 'discern' the horizon a little better (I can barely now), and have some more 'color' in the emptiness in between, somehow, while still retaining the concept you've gone for - if that makes sense. Wall size this might look much better, but again, my opinion, if you had have 'adjusted' this to try to suit it to this medium, especially for this Challenge, would have helped you a lot but who knows. The frame detracts in my opinion, especially at this size. Again, perhaps it would work 'wall size', but even then I can't see it actually 'enhancing' this shot/concept.
