The photo is overall a bit to dark, I really cannot tell to great exactly what I am looking at. I believe, though I am having a hard time with it that the area that is able to be seen is a bit oversharpened.
I like the composition and Think the idea of low key was there, but maybe this is a bit too low key as there was alot of lost detail due to the overall underexposed feel to the photo.
Hope this helps,

Positives:
Nice solid black background. (There is a vocal subgroup of DPC voters who may call this a fault and will vote this down because of it, but ignore that). The choice of minimalism is nice.
Technicals:
As a minimalist composition it is critical that the technicals have no faults. Unfortunately this image is slightly oversharpened and suffers from digital "jaggies" in all the arched, narrow parts.
The challenge:
This choice of imagery and minimalism can do very well at DPC and DPC for this particular challenge but it has to be perfect techically. The technicals held it back more than anything else. "Jaggies" is a serious technical flaw, even in a non-technical challenge but despite that it scored above average. In thumbnail this image is not at all impressive and that probably affected some voters.
Low-key imagery, perhaps, works best with a lot of tonality that yours lacks and that could have affected it in voting. Your choice using strong highlighting is not wrong, it can and does work well, but the technicals held it back.
Suggestions:
By far, correcting the "jaggies" would be the single most important improvement that would get this a higher score. Unfortunately, since this is a basic challenge you would have to do that at the cost of softer focus on the rest of the image and that might not work either. It might be this image composition was not the best for this particular challenge. |
