This image will be marked down just because it is smaller than necessary (444X481). You should start with the largest frame possible - 640px on one side. DPC viewers vote smaller images down just as a matter of course. It could also use a basic sharpening and maybe a slight curves adjustment. This is a really cute picture and you captured a moment in time very well. the background is controlled and the lighting is good - natural with no sign of flash. I think this image would be better in black and white so the colors don't over power the message. IN DPC voting, it probably won't fair well as DPCers will tend to consider it a snapshot. there is no reverence for snapshots on DPC unless they look planned (don't ask, I don't get it either). Personally, I like it. I like the spur of the momentness it holds, I like the expression on the kids face, I like the pose. The composition isn't strong, but it works. I think you have a good eye for capturing the moment - don't let DPC discourage you with the scores. |
