Many people that commented my For Sale entry was DNMC. I disagree, but they're entitled.
It scored only 5.4, so I'm trying to understand whether that was primarily because of DNMC voters or was it for other reasons? Now that the challenge is over, what I really want to know is whether there was anything wrong with the shot just as a pretty picture.
Opinions?
If you think the moon is too small to be effective, does this one work better for you?
Thanks!

| the second one is a little big, but I definitely prefer it more. It works better for a print. |

K - so for me - with both shots - everything is all centered. I do like the larger moon, but I would move it off center - perhaps even to the point of a thirds line to off-set the very symmetrical composition. Might be just me. :)

| I agree.. the large moon is def neater, but it needs to be off to a side more, I would say the right. It doesn't look right with everything all lined up. |

what idnic said. + I would reduce the moon by 5 to 10% in size after moving it.
But I like the picture just think its to centered.
Example; hope you didn't mind
The center of the moon has been placed on the top left third hot spot. 1/3 in and a 1/3 down and tilted to the right 10 deg.

Yes.... that is a more 'dynamic' composition and so the eye tends to linger :)

First: no, I certainly don't mind; in fact, I appreciate your taking the time. :)
Second: that composition to me feels off-kilter. I want something else to be on the lower right, to be on that same line from the moon through the dome.
Another composition I would've considered was putting the dome on the right and the moon on the left (essentially cropping it just to the right of the dome).
The moon actually did rise initially over the wing on the left side, but it moved up to the right, eventually landing where I shot it. So I couldn't have moved it for the challenge higher on the left.

This is my highest ranking photo out of just a few entries in challenges. While I generally just crop, rotate and resize for a challenge, what should I have done to the photo to bump the score up?
Much appreciated,
Deb

I think if the pen tip was on the rule of thirds intersection (right and bottom) it would be a more esthetically pleasing photo.

Thank you. I see your point. Thanks for taking the time. But still, should I have done something with Photo Shop? I have cs2
