Thanks for the comments, I did have difficulty initially on ensuring that I got the right file size but with your help I think I finally got it right. It was a last minute thing and submitted right on the last date. However with much said, thanks lesson learnt
First thing I notice is that this is a really small image. You can go 640 on the longest side and if you're not sure how to do that then you could ask on the forums, there are usually lots of people willing to help. It looks like a good image, nice golden colors, interesting lines etc, but it's so hard to tell with it being so small.
If you post at a lower dpi you will get a bigger image and up your scores, you get no quality improvment by posting a higher dpi than a CRT can show. This looks like a good image but it will not score well because it is too small.
a very nice photo with great colors, however i feel the image is too small. Is it that small to get it under the 150K file size limit? if so there are other ways to resize your image and have it much larger. You can search the forums as this has been discussed many times
Think the idea is good but you havent managed to what you were trying to do. Think longer exposure had been better and maybe litle more corping. Maybe it is something technical but I would have liked to see the image bigger.
