This dog likes to go surfing so I got a portrait of him with his board - Better pics of him surfing but when I read the rules it seemed that it needed some land in it? Also this is my first entry and I presume I can't get rid of dust spots in basic edit. Lastly when i reduce my file size to 640 on the largest edge i end up having a resolution of 3 - Seems far too low?
Cheers
Jeff

This is way too small. While there are good reasons for making a vertical shot smaller than the maximum allowed, it should fill the screen. This is just too hard to see.
For one the image is too small. Secondly the shadows in front of the dog are too harsh. With the dog having dark fur around his/her eyes, you would do better to have the sun coming from the side - raking across his front. This would not only lighten the face, but also bring out texture of the fur better
Looks like a great pic with good exposure, considering you have the sun in there...But...It's way too small. Darn! Let's see a bigger version once the challenge is over.
Cool shot even if you didn't post the max size image which I am sure you got hammered for. I don't care. I still like it. Good job with your wide angle lens. (8)
looks like a great image. would be stronger and score even higher if it were bigger. looks like really nice composition and focus but too small to tell. keep it up.
Good Picture, Nice ballance between foreground exposure and background. The image is a little small though. The site allows you to use 640 pixels for your larges dimension. Make use of all the size you can.
What looks like a great image is way spoilt by being way too small - its only 182x274 pixels!!! It could be 233% bigger and would get a much higher score if voters could see the detail.
