Don't give up, the image looked awsome it was mainly the size and focus that let you down. I look forward to seeing great things from you in the future.
This might help you with the resize.
Resize tutorial
everything is a learning experience and sometimes some are a bit harder than others. Dont quit! and dont be afraid to ask for help!
keep going strong and one day you can look back at your progression from 0% to 100% and laugh it off. best of luck! :-)
i think it is great that you picked up a camera and entered. i didn't start taking pictures until i was your age. next time, though, don't be afraid to ask for help before the competition begins. if you aren't sure of what they're looking for, ask. but, no matter what, do not QUIT!
The picture is too small. I also had the same problem with sizing my pictures. Look in the tutorial section for resizing tips. Otherwise the picture has beautiful coloring.
Sorry, I really want to judge this image - it has some nice colors. But it is just to small to tell. It seems a bit blurry - even in theis small version.
It's potentially a pretty scene, but I'm afraid it's of pretty poor quality, and way too small image to judge. Not sure it is a good representation of the challenge topic...
No matter how good an image is, only using 213 pixels of an allowed 640, will always result in a low score. From now on please try to submit a larger photo.
Other then that, it's also out of focus.
If this was from a cell phone... change your phone and get a real camera for opportunities like this to get a GREAT picture instead of banging into a wall with an inferior camera...
