thanks for all the wonderful comments and to answer all your questions....
the reason its so small is because i forgot the deadlnie was whe it was...i had it saved on my desktop for other reasons, realized the deadline was in about 30 seconds, and submitted it as quick as i could
then went back after it was submitted and tried to enlarge it to challenge size but when i went to submit that file...TOO LATE!
This is obviously a great shot. It's sad that the actual size of the photo caused people to automatically give it low scores. It deserves no less than 8's.
This has an interesting twist. It's quite crisp and well focused from what I can see (it's REALLY small). The mask, well...not sure what to say about that. Hard to know how this photo could have really done being so small. That's going to impact the score regardless of how good the photo might be. All JMO of course. Good luck.
This looks like it's a gorgeous, original shot. I'm even a sucker for a well-done sepia. But the image you've uploaded is really way too small to appreciate properly.
Back to comment: You aren't using the full size limit that the challenges allow for an image. Your image is 350 X 234 pixels in size. You are allowed to make the longest dimension 640 pixels. You are also allowed a file size of 150 kb. Your image is only 100 kb. Smaller images and smaller file sizes make it harder to see the detail in your image. I initially gave this a 4 for being small but I am bumping to a 6 because it has so much personality. If it was bigger, I would probably score it even higher.
