5. Fits the theme well enough, and there are no blatant 'you suck!' flaws to it, but neither does it really grab me for any reason at all. For reasons of composition, cropping, or subject choice, it's just a photo, and doesn't do especially much for me, aesthetically.

The colors are very pretty, but there's just nothing for the picture to be about, no center of attention where the eye is drawn.

There is really no point of interest here. If you meant for the boey to be it, it is to small. Nice colors. Good luck!

Great sunset! Saw a sunrise on a ferry boat not long ago reflected on the Cascades, but THIS is gorgeous!

A Comment From The Critique Club

Hi Debra,

I really love tulips (I have orange ones in a vase at home right now) and I think they are a perfect subject for the secondary color challenge. My first impression (that I share with each of your commenters during the challenge) is that this seems to be a very pretty image but is too small to really appreciate or critique.

COMPOSITION / CONTENT - I like that you have focused in on several of the tulips as the main subject of your photo, and have cropped some of the ones around the edge, it gives the impression that I am seeing just a small part of a large field of tulips. The colors are vibrant and there seems to be a good tonal range.

CAMERA WORK / TECHNICAL - This is very hard to determine because of the size of the photo. I'll be happy to send you a separate critique if you post a larger version of the photo somewhere where I can leave comments or email me a copy at franziska.lang@lycos.com

POST-PROCESSING - The size is the ultimate thing to address. I looked at some of your other submissions that were sized just fine so I'm assuming this was just one of those oversights where you typed in the wrong number when resizing or uploaded the wrong version. Bad luck, it happens to the best of them, in future just double-check your submission :)

Good luck in your future challenges and have fun at DPC :)

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about this review.

Franziska.

dsidwell has a great post in the forums about how to size your picture for the web. You might find it helps you when fixing your pictures for submission. The colours here are brilliant but the shot seems a bit overprocessed and is too small to really tell, sadly.
