Bottom of the Pack Analytical Comments
Every challenge I am going to leave comments on some of the photos that finished at the bottom of the pack. I will try and explain why I think the photo did not do well in the challenge, which will hopefully result in increased rankings in your future photos.

1) Size. The photo doesn't use the full 640 pixels, so voters can't see as much detail as they would like.
2) Use of 'dpchallenge'. I've seen DPChallenge referenced in many photos on the site, and none of them seem to do very well. It may be that voters think using the name of the site is 'tacky' or 'amateur'.
3) Composition. It is very cluttered. Most voters prefer simply composed photos which draw attention to the focal point. This photo doesn't seem to have a focal point.
4) Title. If people don't understand the photo, most will then look at the title to see of that helps. In this case the title wouldn't be understood by a lot of non-French people.
