Entering an image this small into a challenge is a sure way to get lowballed by a lot of voters. It looks like you did a longer exposure of some nice lights. The shot has some really interesting colors. The downside of this kind of shot is it looks like almost no effort was put into it, because we don't always know if the motion was supposed to be there or not. Often it's assumed that it's not supposed to be there and it's voted down. One thing you really might want to do is turn of the date on your camera. That's something you'll never find in "artistic" photography, and this is mostly an artistic website. If that's how you wanted it to come out, good work. For the next challenge, I would really suggest using an image with one dimention at least 600 pixels long.
this photograph is one of the worst i dont think you put a lot of effort at all in this photo because the time you took it even remains on the photograph.......
I would encourage you to upload larger images. Make your longest dimension the full 640 pixels allowed (instead of the 260 in this case). This will let folks see the details in the photo which will help them appreciate it better.
yes... those sure are colors. whoops theres a date stamp in the bottom right, whoops the pictures tiny, whoops it doesn't relate to 4 or 5 am, whoops BOO, whooops two
i am quite sure you are getting hammered with a very low score. don't take it personally--everybody has to start somewhere. if you really want to learn how to take better pictures, dpc is a great place to start. read the suggested tutorials, ask questions, and DON'T QUIT! it can be frustrating, but it can also be very rewarding and fun!
there is a tutorial on how to properly prepare your photos for maximum viewing for challenges. //dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=26 (youmay have to copy and paste it to your browser.
