it's not exactly photojournalism, unless you work for national geographic. which works. i'm gonna give it a ten because it's actually really good compositionally, and the artifacts create an interesting texture. and everyone else will hate it. that's ok, i think you did a wonderful job.
This image is extremely blured and pixelated on my end. Originally I scored you very low. However after careful consideration I Could see this image published in some naturalist magazine or something of that "NATURE"
Wow is this pixelated or what! Did you try blowing this up to fill the frame or is this the digital zoom on the camera? Also, flowers are kind of overdone so this does not inspire me to give you a high score.
Hrm.... Well, it's a nice shot. Angle and composition are nice. I'm wondering however about the jpeg artifacts? Was that intentional, or the byproduct of too much editing and/or a lower quality camera? I can see how it might have been intentional in order to give it the grainy effect of, say, a newspaper printing. Benefit of the doubt on that. But I fail to see how this fits the challenge. Your title doesn't even help me make up a story to believe in... :/
Grainy, maybe over sharpened. Can only guess for a horticulure magazine or article anouncing winning flower at a show. Cropped to closely Not good execution at all. Also title doesn't really tell much about the picture and accompaning article. Not a good shot. PTL3
At first I was going to vote down this picture due to the amount of compression artifacts in the image. But, on second thought, I kind of like this picture because of the "texture" caused by the compression, and the vivid colors. I don't know for sure if you really intended to do this.
very nice attempt at a macro with what i assume is a lower end or older camera. composition and color are right on. however, i dont see that this anything to do with PJ : (
The colors in this are wonderful, and it looks like it would be a really good macro. However, it seems that it is extremely pixelated. It looks like you have cropped it out of a larger picture, then enlarged it or something. Of course, if this is deliberate, that is another story all together, and I would be most interested in hearing why. karmat
Nice for a card or print, but photojournalism, I'm not sure. I wouldn't rule it out, however, depending on the story it went with or the publication it would go into.
I can only guess that you intended for the picture to be this grainy/noisy. I find myself wondering what front page this one would make. I wish I could see more detail in the center of the flower.
//www.irfanview.com/ IrfanView is free software if you can't get Photoshop or something else along those lines. What ever you used for compression has trashed your pretty flower. Justine
The image quality on this shot is suffering terribly from pixellation... not sure what happened here, but it needs some serious help... I also do not understand what is 'journalistic' about this photo. The photo is not telling me a story... - setzler
Aren't we humorous. Succh talent and imagination... You are either repetitive or replicating an allready rancid adolescent joke. How about a fire truck for next challenge ?
