Wow, this is a good photo. It would be better if it was larger, to show more detail. Maybe cropping out the foreground a bit.

I love this one. Due to low image size is very dificult to judge it. If you post a larger one surelly you had get best results.
05/16/2006 06:46:02 AM
Nice city shot, but could've done with a larger photo to see it! For the future, perhaps taking the photo at a later time would create more of a contrast between the lights and sky. 6

Image is too small... otherwise, a great night shot.
05/16/2006 01:07:24 AM
This image is just way to small. Beautiful colors though.
05/14/2006 11:15:33 PM
Image is way too small to ever have been considered for submission to this challenge. Even so, I see noticeable camera-shake, and there's too much water at the bottom of the frame. Try harder next time.
05/14/2006 08:43:36 PM
Cool a local shot. I really wish it was larger, should really always upload the max size allowed.
05/14/2006 07:48:28 PM
Why so small? Seems like it would be a decent photo, but I can't judge by the photo how clear and beautiful it is.
05/14/2006 02:12:15 PM
Wish this were a bit larger. Nice colors and crisp focus. (Go Sox!)
05/14/2006 09:48:01 AM
Very nice, however it's a bit small and we can't judge focus. I assume this was taken from Memorial drive in Cambridge. Nice vistas from over there.
05/14/2006 02:18:41 AM
Next time make it bigger.
05/13/2006 06:15:19 PM
Nice shot but I wish the pic size were larger.
05/13/2006 05:36:31 PM
Your photo is too small to properly judge. A lot of photos will look good at this size but when see at 640x480 you can see flaws.
05/13/2006 11:32:29 AM
By this time, I'm sure you've been pounded to death with "size" comments so I'll spare you. ;-) This looks like a potential killer image of Boston. The colors are richly saturated and the sky is an amazing gradient that looks perfectly dusky. The horizon looks a bit tilted, which in a larger format, would be very annoying and cost you voter points. Though it's tough to tell at this size, I think your focus and sharpness are spot-on. If this image had been submitted at the full 640px, I'm guessing you would have had a top 10 image here, maybe a top five. Live and learn my friend. Study up on how to size those entries correctly for DP challenges!!

Beautiful capture...just a little small.
05/13/2006 01:37:19 AM
Where in cambridge did you shoot this from? Looks like a nice shot, but you shrunk the image too much.
05/13/2006 12:04:32 AM
I like the small photo...it hides the details of just another nighttime photo of a city skyline. :-) Good luck in future challenges.
05/12/2006 03:37:43 PM
hey... I have a similar shot from the 2 second challenge. You should have scaled this to 72dpi and 640 to get a bigger picture.
05/12/2006 03:35:42 PM
I love the colors in this, but I do wish the image was larger.
05/12/2006 01:54:33 PM
um...smaller please ;)
05/12/2006 01:47:31 PM
Nice lighting, but way too small.
05/12/2006 12:17:04 AM
would have been better larger
05/11/2006 06:22:36 PM
thsi is a very small picture i would recommend making it bigger next time
05/11/2006 03:57:29 PM
make your photo the full size 640 px
05/11/2006 02:20:04 PM
looks really good but way too small
05/11/2006 01:51:13 PM
nice shot
05/11/2006 01:30:02 PM
It's better to submit shots at the maximum size allowed here--it's hard to see what you have at this small size. Check out this tutorial about sizing your images for challenges.

The image is really too small
05/11/2006 02:29:25 AM
You probably got comments already about the size. It's a pity because it looks like a nice skyline.

Worthy photo. I would have given it a couple more points if it were bigger and I could see more detail.
05/10/2006 05:42:09 PM
This looks like a nice picture, but it is so hard to tell when it is so small!
Please use the 640 pixels available!
05/10/2006 03:44:06 PM
A shame this photograph is so small.
05/10/2006 01:05:05 PM
I like the shot, but I would have liked it more if it was the full 640 px width.
05/10/2006 12:45:04 PM
Beautiful, but too small!
05/10/2006 12:18:06 PM
Nice shot but too small.
05/10/2006 07:45:07 AM
too small to judge properly
05/10/2006 07:22:32 AM
I wounder how many comments you'll get saying 'too small'. I'd have to agree, I can't see why you haven't used the max 640px available to you. Is it the file size? Then reduce the quailty in Photoshop. Quality of between 60 and 90% is fine for DPC, but allows bigger images sizes. I suspect this would do well if it was bigger. (4) - sorry, needs to be bigger to see the image better.

image too small
05/10/2006 04:22:51 AM
Oh no!!! I'm sure you'll get countless comments but it's just too small. This could be an awesome shot if it were bigger. I'm going to give it a 6 anyway because I feel that it will suffer unfairly for not being large enough.
05/10/2006 02:56:57 AM
Oky nice pohoto but have the image bigger next time. For pepole to critques this photo it have to be bigger. I will give you 5
05/10/2006 01:48:14 AM

05/10/2006 12:45:43 AM
What I can see is great,,,,,,6..(to small)
