Your picture seems to be a nice image but due to the small size I am unable to see enough detail to judge. Your image should be as close to the Maximum allowed size as possible. "File Size: No larger than 150 KB (153,600 bytes). Dimension: No dimension may be shorter than 160 pixels or longer than 640 pixels." Your dimensions are 8,278 bytes and 160 x 227 pixels. If you are receiving lower scores than you anticipated it probably is due to the small size more than the contents of the picture.
She is quite the cutie! Normally shots this small get my little pat instructions about reading the tutorial about posting photos to DPC, and using all of the image size available to contestents. (Consider it said) This shot even though it is very small and tough to see the detail, caught my eye. There is a charm about this little girl that comes through loud and clear. I am going to give this a 6 because I believe this image if larger would really impress me. Please repost after the challenge to your portfolio a larger version of this image!
please read the tutorial for preparing images for challenges. you have no doubt lost a lot of votes due to your image size. as best i can tell, this would have scored a LOT higher if the image had been larger. don't be discouraged, and DON'T QUIT! better luck next time.
I remember seeing this photo in your portfolio and loving it - going back to it to show my husband. I loved the look on her face and the framing on the boards and the DOF. But - what happened to the size???? Why is this copy so small?
Way too small! I'm sure you're tired of reading that by now. I like the composition quite a bit and she has a lovely natural expression. Her eyes do draw the viewer in. Unfortunately, at this size I really can't evaluate the image quality. Too bad.
I'm sure you've heard all about the image size thing, by now. Such a shame, because it seems to be a charming image. Great expression and interesting composition. Looks like you've got a good eye.
The tones look very good in this. Unfortunately the photo size is so small it is hard to get a full idea of the details. It appears that the focus is soft on the girl. Would love to see a larger size of this photo.
