So what was the illegal effect? spotlight effect because the vignette was not feathered enough?

I think there were fums around the board, i am seeing some cloud kind of things behind the board. this would have come out better if taken it when sun was low.

Meets the challenge : 2/3 - Sort of, with the 9 in 69
Execution : 1/2 - Good use of DOF .. but moving a little or with a different perspective you could have avoided the blown out sky.
Originality : 1/2 - Partly
and everything else : 0/3
total : 4/10

Pretty textures, but the blurry flowers in the background take away form that... Nice lighting and colors. 5/10

This would of been an amazing picture if you could stop and take it but the thing is that its not proportional and the contrast and lighting are way off. Not your fault though :)

Good job!

The challenge subject is 9. Here I see a 69. It also feels like a simple snapshot that required very little thought. The composition needs a lot of work, and the lighting is very uneven. It is possible to give simple, everyday subjects great interest and drama as they are turned into an image, but this one falls short. 2.

3 - HDR is way over-done, in my opinion

5 - A reasonable use of HDR, but not a very engaging photo, in my opinion

7 - A reasonable use of HDR, and an engaging photo, in my opinion

10 - A fantastic use of HDR, and an out of this world photo, in my opinion
