Lovely shot! Seems a little small...... Cropping is a touch tighter than I would prefer, but I'm betting you were "cropping out" something you didn't want to show. 8 Rob the Swash
The pic is a little too small for me to see the gloomy day, especially as the tree is blocking the way. The shadow of the tree on the ground tells me the sun is shining, which isn't really a depiction of a gloomy day. Maybe it would have been better in color so that I could see the color of the background sky.
Make this shot bigger and it's a winner but I'm not turning my screen resolution down to look at a postage-stamp sized pic. Sorry but you drop 3 marks because this pic is so small.
this looks like a very good shot, with the lighting and shadows. Hard to tell the rest. Start off with the 640 pixel (longest side), and adjust the quality down to get under the 150kb size. My rule of thumb. I will drop the size down if the quality setting drops below 80%, and then the size never below 512 pixels on the longest side. Hope it helps. Looks like a great photo.
