This was one of my favorite entries. It's a shame it did so poorly. However, the issues in which it fails are easily resolved. The composition was nicely done.
Removing the number. And also make sure you save the image at a higher quality setting as there are noticeable "compression artifacts". |

| Not a bad pic but must either change program on your camera so time/date stamp doesn't show, or digitize it out of the finished pic. |

| Nice composition, but a bit fuzzy and I think I'm seeing sharpening artifacts around the edges of the train. Shame about the date being on it. |

| too oversharpened, which has caused a halo effect. |

Um, this would have been great....EXCEPT FOR
21/10/2006
Which, you could have cloned out in advanced editing. ;)
I am sure you've received tons of these comments...haven't you. Well I'll hold my finger over the bottom and score as I would have without it. ;) |

Definitely taking advantage of the maximum allowed filesize (150k) would help in the future, to avoid the pixelated look.
I like the composition and concept of this shot. |

| You just know when you enter a shot with a date stamp on it you're likely to end up somewhere in the bottom end of the results. Please consider turning it off for challenge shots. In fact, you could even turn it off full stop. In digital shots, the date of the photo is recorded in the image's exif data anyway (file-properites-advanced on a jpeg straight out of camera in windows). Aside from that, I think you've got a great concept, mostly let down by what I think is data loss during saving (probably low quality jpeg save) or other resizing issues that have caused blockiness throughout. Either that or it's a low megapixel camera. |

| The challenge was definitely met, but the image is very pixelated. It looks as if the photo setting on the camera was too low (for compression) and thus the image comes out pixelated/grainy/slightly out of focus. |

This is going to score low because of the harsh JPEG compression visible: in the blue of the ice, there are blocky JPEG artifacts. Around the datestamp (probably not a popular option to leave turned on) there is a lot of JPEG noise.
On the up side, the composition seems pretty nice, though the train may be just a touch dark.
I assume that you have a low end camera, so I feel your pain. I had a cheap Kodak point-and-shoot for a long time which produced very blocky looking images. I hope you can get a better camera soon! |

| I recomend you to remove the date stamp in future challenges. In this one you could have removed it in PS. |

| Are you kidding me? You didn't notice the date stamp? Too bad I can't give less than a 1. |

| So much potential in this shot, it really looks beautiful if I squint...only two things wrong with it and I'm sure you've heard them already. |

| Ahhh, you're going to get slaughtered for the date showing :( the idea is quite good but it does show a toy train and that won't go all too well down with voters...welcome to DPC, your score is going to be low but don't loose interest, there's always the next challenge.. |
