Note: I commented on this picture during the voting. By luck, I drew your picture as part of the Critique Club! So here goes, a little more feedback.
First impression: Too small! Nice picture, but too small! I like the leading lines and the colours. Your eye follows the light lines from left to right up through the picture, into the sky at the two flared street lights, and then you notice the guard rail in the lower right corner. Nice composition.
In terms of technical and post processing comments, you have made my job tough!
I can only guess that at f22 your DOF would have been excellent. Since you didn’t give any post processing comments, I can’t comment on what you did, even if I could see the detail. :-)
As mentioned numerous times in the previous comments, refer to tutorial at //www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=26. Your file was only 160x240 and 42k.
I’m positive you would have scored much higher with this entry if it was closer to the 150k file size.
You've probably gotten comments like this, but I'll say it again--it looks like a good shot, but it's WAY too small. Always re-size to 640 pixels on the longest axis (in this case the vertical axis).
It looks like a pretty good photo - a nice strong leading line. Why make it so small though? DPChallenge allows anything up to 640x640 so always try to have either hieght or width (or both) around that limit. It's normally better to reduce the JPEG quality if you need to get back under 150KB.
very small.... to avoid resizing to meet the size requirement.... just upload the original to your portfolio, right click and save as a new file... then reload that new file
Try to get the long side of your photo as close to 640 pixels as you can. You will lose points for submitting such a small picture because it is hard to see any detail..
Egads this is too small. It's too bad because it looks like it might be a fun blur of traffic lights. Please take advantage of the 640 pixel max next time.
It is too hard to evaluate such a small shot.
Nice job on the time exposure, I love night shots. Unfortunately, your image is pretty small. You should try to make it as big as possible for these challenges, as people prefer that. 640 pixels is allowed. I suggest you take a peek at the "Learn" section of this website, there you'll find a tutorial called "A Quick Visual Guide to Resampling". It'll give you a better idea of what I'm talking about. Keep it up. Cheers.
