I think perhaps it was simple choice of subject that let you down here, in challenge terms. Certainly there is texture available, and reasonably well defined in your image, but there isn't the ping of a new vision to add to it. Perhaps if you could have manipulated the available light a touch to enphasise the ridges of the wood, or perhaps have taken the contrast even further, it might have had more success. I also wonder if your composition might not have been more thoroughly thought out: the conjunction of that angle of the roof (?) and the hold of the bird house might have been happier in compositional terms: place the hole so as not to obscured by the wood, whilst keeping the strong diagonal of the roof, and you'd have some more impact, and some balance across the image frame more than you have here.
I like that you've filled the frame, although that perhaps was an obvious idea and didn't help with the stand-out-in-a-crowd necessity of these challenges. It's a pleasant enough shot, but just doesn't have that impact, and you get so little time to hit the voters here. |
