Could this be a case of monitor-calibration-differences-lower-score? On my monitor the foreground is very dark, too dark to make out any detail while the sky is so light that i cant see the "jesus light" very well. Could be my monitor, I'll recheck from work before my final vote. But darker images often suffer here because of peoples monitors. Also you have some great leading lines, the line of rocks, the bamk of clouds, and the bit of land with the lighthouse (?). Unfortunately all your lines lead the viewer out of the frame to the left and nothing leads me back into the image. Once a DPC voters eyes are led out of an image his mind thinkd "Done, next image". Anything that brings the interest back into the picture and makes him look longer increases his chance of appreciating what you were trying to convey. Thirdly, your image is divided exactly in the center sky, vs sea by the line of land. What if you had divided it onto thirds instead. Then either the sky or the ocean rocks would get more emphasis and they wouldnt compete for attention. just suggestions, and so you dont think Im just complaining i'll tell you that I like the image and am giving it a 7 |
