Part of doing well in challenges is to make the voter go 'Wow!' You have to make your image stand out against the competition...not easy! When the first thing your voter notices is the smallness of your image, you've really shot yourself in the foot! Of the 14 comments you received, 11 mention the size. Looking at your portfolio, I see that you have entered full size images before, so I am curious as to why you didn't here, with such a universally appealing image?
The contrast of the purple/pink against the green works really well.
There is a lovley diagonal movement in the image and nice repetition of the spikeyness of the petals and grass.
There is a nice depth of field, but the central flower is a little too central for me, dominating the image and keeping the eye in the centre of the picture.
But a nice appealing image, which would have received a higher vote had it been larger.
The image is abit small. I also had a problem with that in my (very embarrising) dairy entry. The resizing tutorial helped me a lot. Go have a look at it.
The dimensions of this is just 360 x 239. It really needs to be much bigger to stand any chance. It looks like there is some good detail there but it's just too hard to see.
What a great line to find and the image is quite nice. I wish it was a little bigger and perhaps showed more context of the flowers erupting from the earth like laughter.
