I was wondering how some photos do so well, and others get critisized for the sky being blown out.
For example (and by the way I think it is a FANTASTIC photo)that this
Has been commented for being blown out. On the histogram it clearly is?
Could someone help me understand why certain ones make the grade and others dont please?
many thanks

| I didn't see any comments on this stating it was 'blown out'. There was one where they were 'blown away' by the colors, but no 'blown out' comments. What are you referring to? |

The only area that appears blown out is directly around the sun. None of the details or color in the shot are lost because of this. Hence, not blown out. Cloud detail is visible everywhere - even in the bright spot. The small area around the sun is not significant enough to negatively affect the image and in my opinion adds quite a dramatic element to the composition.
In other words, a bright sun does not necessarily mean a blown out image.

Ok thats cool! I need to know this, coz i was always under the impression that on DPC if you have pixel loss (burn out) that it was marked down.

| Seems to me that blown out spots seem to draw your eye to them instead of to the subject of the shot. In this case, the sunrise is the subject, so having your eye drawn to this "blown" spot must be a good thing. Expecially when all the rest of the detail remains so precise without any blown spot in the rest of the sky. |
