Comment by krnodil:
I'm one of those for whom it looks completely black on one monitor, and the image is clearly visible (though dim) on another. I have to say though, that when I got it on a monitor where I could see it, I'm amazed at the range of detail in the tones - it's like the image holds a hidden treasure. Seek and ye shall find. :) I really like that aspect of it, but agree with Juli that for the Peace challenge at least, having to hunt the image to find the image doesn't engender a peaceful feeling, and so might have run counter to any other expression of peace in the image, for the typical viewer.

Originally posted by Arcanist: You should calibrate your monitor soon. While the image entered is viewable, it is only noticable on a calibrated monitor if we adjust the gamma and backlighting to the positive scale by a lot. (Your monitor is too bright to be editing pics on.)

I calibrated mine last night and it looks just fine without adjusting gamma and backlighting.

Well I have to say that this does not deserve to score a 3+. I did give this a 5 tho because on my monitor, it's way too dark. You can tell that there is a sweet, peaceful face there and I think your shutter speed was just too fast for this moment.

Very good choice of subject for peace. (I had no ideas at all.) I like the idea that this is night, but the image is really too dark. It requires the viewer to strain in order to see the subject -- thus not a peaceful experience.

Now then, had I voted on this one in my lunch hour at work, I would have been stumped as the screen appeared completely black - on my home laptop, though, the sleeping baby is perfectly obvious. I like the tight framing, and the darkness seems appropriate to the image of the sleeping child, although you have perhaps opted for slightly too dark an exposure.

An brilliant idea for another place I think but in terms of photography perhaps not. Perhaps I'm just old fashioned.
