I don't know how this comes out on everybody elses computer, but for mine it is really dark. I like it alot this way. Im hittin on an 8 right now, but only because I save the 9 and 10's for in the final review. GL, magnificent.
so dark... can't see very much here. Did you use a tripod? Perhaps photoshoping a bit and playing with brightness/contrast and perhaps bumping up the blue saturation would help give you a more defined sky?
It was a very good subject idea, but it's too dark...maybe if you took it a little earlier or faced west while there was still a liitle light left over from the sunset to give it more light-dark contrast?
I think you have an amazing picture, very well composed, and with a nice subject. The only problem is that it is too dark... (thats how I see it). A higher exposure and maybe more constrast would have bumped this to a 9 or 10. Good job, anyway.
good capture, border definitely helps a low-key picture like this. I'd be interested to see it with a brighter background, though i'm not sure i would prefer it that way.
My video monitor is calibrated for gamma 2.2 and this image is so dark that the windmill is not distinguishable. I downloaded the image and used a levels adjustment to view the photo. Not too bad! Try adjusting your monitor brightness and gamma to be more in conformance with the norm and you will get better results. Hope this helps.
I'm honestly not sure about this image. A part of me wants to like it because it's a clear silhouette, and because it's not something that I'm likely to encounter again in the challenge. But at the same time, I'm just a bit bothered by the monotonality of it. I'll rate this a 6, but that's because I'd rather err on the positive side.
you're probably going to get a lot of "too dark" comments. but this feels completely intentional to me and i like it a lot. i think you nailed the challenge. 10
I would like to know how you took this image as there appears no light source. (not even stars in the sky) I think it stands out from most of the other images that I have seen in this challenge. But feel it is much to dark. 5.
