I really love tulips (I have orange ones in a vase at home right now) and I think they are a perfect subject for the secondary color challenge. My first impression (that I share with each of your commenters during the challenge) is that this seems to be a very pretty image but is too small to really appreciate or critique.
COMPOSITION / CONTENT - I like that you have focused in on several of the tulips as the main subject of your photo, and have cropped some of the ones around the edge, it gives the impression that I am seeing just a small part of a large field of tulips. The colors are vibrant and there seems to be a good tonal range.
CAMERA WORK / TECHNICAL - This is very hard to determine because of the size of the photo. I'll be happy to send you a separate critique if you post a larger version of the photo somewhere where I can leave comments or email me a copy at franziska.lang@lycos.com
POST-PROCESSING - The size is the ultimate thing to address. I looked at some of your other submissions that were sized just fine so I'm assuming this was just one of those oversights where you typed in the wrong number when resizing or uploaded the wrong version. Bad luck, it happens to the best of them, in future just double-check your submission :)
Good luck in your future challenges and have fun at DPC :)
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about this review.
dsidwell has a great post in the forums about how to size your picture for the web. You might find it helps you when fixing your pictures for submission. The colours here are brilliant but the shot seems a bit overprocessed and is too small to really tell, sadly.
Too bad this isn't larger. The small size doesn't let the viewer see the flowers to the best advantage. They look very pretty not you didn't give them a fair chance with this size.
not taking advantage of the max size of a submission is hurting you here because we can't see the detail of the shot. composition and lighting looks good.
Very bright colors. You'll need to make your images bigger, so the viewers can see more detail. You can e-mail me if you're having problems resizing your images and keeping it under 150KB. Beautiful colors. Jacko. 7
