I prefer your original. But keep in mind that DPC, in general, prefers simpler, less complicated, and this is a bit simpler. But to me, you lose the bits around the edges, the stuff just coming in from the darkness. I like that kinda thing. I tend to do that, and I tend to not score well when I do. :-)
The other thing DPC really likes is WOW. In all CAPS! This is a quiet kind of shot - good clean crisp focus (another big plus in the DPC world) but not a WOW kinda subject. A pretty girl, a lovely landscape, a very bright, colorful, sharp, well-lit macro - those kinds of things. I'm about to go look at the rocks you have in your portfolio - those may be the ticket! |
