Essential Elementsby EyesupComment by Elvis_L: sorry but this editing is just sloppy. it looks like you selected the counter and either painted it black or reduced the brightness to 0 but you can see by the bowl and by the coffe pot where you missed spots. |

The Long Walkby EyesupComment by whiteroom: just a bit too photoshopped i'd say, for dpc voters.
prolly would have looked great in black/white.
the comp is more about the lines and perspective than faceless.
just my opinion, hope it helps. |

The Long Walkby EyesupComment by fotomann_forever: Some constructive criticism:
Composition is ok, but feels a bit unbalanced.
The forward part of the image is a bit too dark with flat mid-tones. An s-curve could have help your mid-tone contrast some. Also a bit of contrast masking could have helped pull some details from the shadows. (Both s-curves and contrast masking are covered in the forums - the master being Bear_Music)
You might have scored a bit better with a tighter zsoom as your subject sorta gets lost in the composition. |

Essential Elementsby EyesupComment by Nuzzer: 6: Good idea and composition but the light on the cereal is a bit bright and the reflection on the blender is quite prominent |

The Long Walkby EyesupComment by Photonurd: Kind of lost the highlights there. Nice perspective though. Maybe bringing the subject a bit closer to the viewer might give this image more impact. |

Hopeby EyesupComment by DefyTime: As far as the exposure it looks fine. It has a bit too tight of a crop...wish I could see more of the crosses. The size is probably the biggest stumbling block...always use the max of 640 on the longest side.
And Welcome to DPC...don't get to caught up on the score just enter what you like and keep improving...that's why we all joined.

The Long Walkby EyesupComment by posthumous: she is swallowed up by her environment, she can barely be seen, and these seem to be essential parts of who she is. 8 |

Hopeby EyesupComment by Falc: OK there are a number of areas for improvement here.
1. Size - already mentioned. Voters tend to deduct marks if the image is too small
2. Lighting - very flat. Photography is abouty capturing light and to make the best images you have to have exceptional light. Side light, window light, moon light, flash light, misty light but not flat light.
3. Topic - religion, bibles, crosses, beads all represent an opportunity for the non-religious voter to deduct marks, Stay away from these subjects if you want votes.
4. Statues - almost running into the 'literal artwork' argument here, but statues and toys again have trouble attracting votes.
So my guess is you managed to hit just about every OFF button at DPC. The only other ones you missed were pets and kids ;-)
Sad but true I'm afraid. |

Hopeby EyesupComment by chip_k: I think using a tripod would have helped. Slowing down the shutter speed would get you an f-stop that would have all of the subject (the white statue) in focus. I'd leave the wooden cross out. |
