"Deep Purple Clouds" in an interesting idea for the DPC Cinema challenge.
The image itself is very striking from the cool smooth coloring. I really love how rich and deep the purples are. The composition is very nice and I like the include of the ground so it doesn't look like a floating sky shot. Overall I think you have a very nice image.
The scoring in this challenge was very different from the norm. I personally looked at the photo for its quality first and second which was a big piece of my scoring was does this look like a movie and if so is it a convincing? Unfortunately I think that might have been what happened with your scoring on this piece. You have a wonderful shot but as for a movie its a little hard to believe.
I think you have a great eye and I hope you keep up your good work!
While the title could be a movie title there would be some signifagance other than the clouds themselves most likely so the poster is not telling me much unless it is playing a thte IMAX. the photo is great. I love the colors and layers of clouds
