one of the few pics that actually meets the challenge. You have your sky blown out. Perhaps shooting from the other side (this side is in shadows) If there is something ugly behind you, you could get on the ground and shoot up at the car. This is a great idea, just not well executed. You will get better. I'm sure someone else has said this, but always use the full 640 maximum dimensions on at least one side. This is too small.

I voted this a 4 for the following reasons. 1. Picture is very small, so very little detail can be seen. 2. It's kind of a snap shot, the framing is direct on. (Possibly a lower angle and a little closer would have made it pop more for me) 3. It doesn't have lot of contrast. IMHO

Too much non productive space in the photo. Needs to be cropped to the subject. The lighting is flat and produces a very washed out look.

Please try to use all the pixels available to you ... up to 640 on a side. It will let us appreciate the detail in your photo.

nice subject, but I would suggest a tighter crop - eliminate the un needed 'space' around your image. This will remove the house on the right side, as well as some of the extra forground. With your subject filling the frame more, it will also solve the dead center 'snapshot' look of the photograph.

Difficult to vote on this one, since it's too small to really see well.

Ooops too small! Welcome to DPC this must be your first entry. I'm not going to vote you down for this otherwise interesting subject, good luck next time :)

pic is so small!

Small. If you could see more detail it would help.

Nice subject, but background not interesting, another point of view would have improved the picture a lot I think.

Too small to really see. This subject could be interesting if the lighting were softer and the angle were different.
06/29/2005 10:07:04 PM
too small

Too small. Can't see any of the detail.
06/29/2005 04:47:32 PM
too small.. I can't see any details there...

You need to check some of the threads/tutorials on how to upload a picture. This picture is way too small to score fairly.
06/29/2005 09:05:30 AM
This is very small, don't forget that your longest side can 640 pixels.

Why did you enter such a small thumbnail?
As it goes it looks asthough its a simple 'record' shot of a rail truck with no attempt to give us anything else, no artistry, no atmosphere, no story. It isn't going to win any ribbons.
