Where's Purple?by
rarmermannComment by K3Master: Hello, I have made it a point for this challenge to comment on every photo that I scored under a 4.
I scored this photo a 3 for the following reason(s):
1. The image is too small. Always try and use the maximum pixel dimensions that DPC allows. There are tutorials on DPC that can help you achieve this while keeping the file size the allowable limit.
2. Over-sharpened. From my experience, sharpening like this happens because the initial photo was either not fully in focus, or there was some camera-shake. Fixes for this include using a higher ISO or faster shutter speed. If not possible due to camera or lighting conditions, move the subject into better lighting.
It could be over-sharpened due to an over-use of sharpening tools as well, in which case it never hurts to play around with various sharpening tools to find a good balance, and don't be afraid to ask for opinions on it as well.
3. Lack of the color demanded by the Challenge. Where's the purple? The minute amount visible in her hair-tie is just not enough to solidify this entry to the challenge for me.
