The colors are excellent. I can say that about this image. However, it's really difficult to say much more. At this tiny size, it's hard to really get any detail out of it. It looks like it was over sharpened, but this could be a result of the small size also.
I think that the colors are strong, and the trees at the bottom add to the shot.
I can't tell much about focus and clarity.
I do believe that this would be a nice image in large size.
My biggest suggestion would be to submit bigger shots. We used to have to submit 640 x 480. I think that was a good size. We are allowed to submit 640 x 640, but I think that's too big for most moniters to see completely on the screen, and again is just as bad as having the image too small.
I say to keep it above 400. Of course there are exceptions, like panoramas and similar, but I think that around 400 is a good amount to see. That's about twice the size you have here. This is almost thumbnail.
I believe that there are some tutorials in the LEARN section relating to size of images.
Keep shooting! And welcome to DPC.

I want to add that your title makes no sense. lol. Bigger photo, smaller title. *smile*

very nice picture if i were you i would spend some more time on a title though

Love it. If it were a little bigger (and therefore a little more detailed), it might have been a 9 or 10 for me; as it is, 8. :->

dsidwell did a nice post about sizing your pictures for the web that might be useful for you to check out so you can submit larger versions of your masterpieces. :) Beautiful colours, btw.

Picture is too small. Colour is good. What is that title all about?

Looks like it could be a nice photo; just wish it was a bigger photo so I could see the details better! Good colors! And, ummm, interesting title. =-) 5

The title makes my mind bend in weird directions, and the photo is lovely, though very small. There are several forum threads on how to make you image larger.

Well, this would win the title contest if we had one. :) Beautiful color in the image, I wish it were bigger so I could see more detail, though.

you lose so much detail when images are so small.
05/15/2003 05:43:31 PM
would have been even more striking if there was a way to increase the size - even so, a gorgeous shot.

your submission is unnecessarily small, which only means that you won't fully benefit from the coolness of the colors and patterns in the sky because they are hard to see and less powerful.

very nice i love the colors

Beatiful, but perhaps it´s too small

This picture could have done with being at least twice as big. It looks nice but it's hard to say because I'm squinting at the screen to make anything out!

too small

OK, as long as you're sure about it...
05/14/2003 03:49:58 PM
Wonderful colors and silhouettes. You will have to make your pictures bigger to let your audience see more detail. If you need help resizing your photos you can e-mail me or ask the friendly folks of DPC in the forums. Good luck. Jacko. 7

It's a pretty image but I think it would do a lot better if it was larger.

Too bad this is such a small image it could be really incredible if it was larger
