or not??
I like the photo but don't know why and don't know if others would like it. What do you think?

I guess you want an honest opinion :
I would not consider it print worthy, mainly because I think there is too much clutter in the image. The bushes in the background and especially the two horizontal lines (a fence ?) bring the image down.
Composition could be improved by cropping the top and right part of the image away, so the branch with the drops is not bang in the middle.
Just my opinion. |

hmmm... nothing really spectacular about the shot. What's the focal point? The droplet? Dunno. I like the speia feel to it but wouldn;t necessarily consider it worthy of selling prints. Also, just my opinion.

This is one thing we all have to consider when it comes to DPC prints- are the photos that we're taking particularly special? Are they photos that we ourselves would want on our wall? No? Then someone else probably wouldn't either. It's hard because they're all "our babies", but we have to be honest with ourselves. There are a LOT of photos for sale at DPCP. It will be easy for many of them to get lost in the shuffle. This includes my own!

And worse, if people who want to buy photo to hang on their wall have to see 38 or so ordinary or bad or out of focus or just uninteresting pictures we may lose a customer for good even with all the professional quality pics that this site have to offer. This is why when i have a photo that i'm not 100% sure i would want it on my wall i'm asking you guys what do you think about it.
Maybe it could be a good idea to have a permanent panel to judge not only the printable quality of a shot but the commercial value... just a suggestion

By the way, thanks for the comments this help me not make a fool of myself. It prevents me from submitting a photo for prints when it's really not a good idea. I always want an honest opinion
