Good idea but the PP seems a little over the top to me. Your image looks more like a painting than a photograph but still deserves good merit. 7

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

Positives:
There are emotional aspects of this image that are appealing. The boy in front of the fire begs the viewer to speculate what the child is experiencing and thinking. Placing the subject between the brightest flame and photographer works well.

Technicals:
Sharpness is not bad, but could be better.

A problem with low light situations is that the image tends to be overly yellow(as is likely in your case) or red(as common with people images) because of white balance issues under those conditions. If you have to overcome those issue then you may already have lost the battle for a great photograph regardless of content.

You did the best you could under those conditions but really stood no change to overcome that.

In its own way the use of yellow is fine, but the lack of other color detail gives it a superficial, overprocessed appearance.

The challenge:
Again, the assumption of voters for a free study is images of the highest technical quality. When disappointed they punish the images with a low score. That is not to say the image deserves the lower score, it is just the way DPC voters think.

Great shots, and including them in one images is neat. I like the diagonal line that they form instead of a more traditional horizontal/vertical one.
