Greetings from the Critique Club: I have been assigned your photo to critique and here are my thoughts:
Personal Reaction: My initial reaction to your photo was positive. I liked the composition and colors. From your comments, this had to be a pleasant morning and I can feel that in your photo. Scoring above 5 on your first challenge is very good, a fine accomplishment in and of itself. Congratulations!
Composition: Composition is good. I like how the clouds lead my eye into the photo. I like the negative space around the trees.
Technicals: Color is good but feels a little dull. I attribute this to the post processing. (See below.) Contrast good. DoF good. Focus good. Lighting is good, but possible a little dark.
Conclusions: Where this image falls down is in post processing. You mentioned in your comments you had trouble getting the image sized correctly. It is about 24K where the limit is 150K. This results in the pixilation you can see. While it is Photoshop specific, this tutorial will help you better understand how to resize your photos for DPC: //www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=26. Also remember to convert your color space to sRGB before saving for DPC. This will maximize color fidelity.
As always, this is my personal opinion. Feel free to PM me if you’d like further dialog.

| Wow, very dramatic sky. Looks a little pixelated though. Was this enlarged from a smaller file? |
