Leaving you a comment on your image because of a comment I saw in the a thread you posted.
This image does contain stones/ pebbles/ rocks, so it clearly does meet the challenge requirements. But I am afraid that it lacks in the interest category. Part of what separates the low scoring images to those that score well is a creativity in both lighting, composition, and artistic vision.
There appears to be a general lack of sharpness to the image as shown in the image presented - possibly due to the way the image was resized. I am not sure what sharpening technique you are using for web display, but if you would like some pointers on how to improve this, go ahead and PM me.
I hope you don't mind, but here is a quick adjustment of your entry using some USM to sharpen.
This has more punch than your entry from a sharpness point of view, but the image still lacks that certain something that really draws the viewer in and makes them want to linger, if that makes sense. |
