It´s better than the one you submitted but I still think you would have gotten a below 5 score with the new edit. Honestly, I think it´s your choice of subject in a challenge like this. Think of it this way, it´s a challenge for your best shot of the month and shots like this just dissapear, you need to ask yourself, would you personally be blown away by seeing this shot by another person.
Anyway, you are on the right track with the editing, just try to capture a more interesting subject for the next free study and you should do better. |
