Positives:
Color, lighting and capture are generally good. Is a fun interpretation of the challenge topic. Perspective is the best feature of this image. Overall capture is OK.
Technicals:
Sharpness and general exposure are good. The use of flash gives the sky background a subdued look that works well for the exposure, but not necessarily for the image overall.
If you look on a discriminating monitor (I'm on an LCD monitor) you can see some digital jaggies on the cell phones.
Flash distance made your head darker than the foreground body and that hurt the image.
The challenge:
Meets the challenge. No question. Center focusing is necessary in this particular image but not generally a 'good' perspective for many high scoring DPC images. Though this image is creative in concept DPC viewers might not have thought it photographically creative enough to rate a higher score.
DPC voters generally rate images taken with camera mounted flash lower. If you can avoid it, for DPC, don't use on-board camera flash whenever possible or use it as MINOR filler flash only, never anything more. If it is noticable it will probably be voted lower.
Suggestions:
Lengthen the exposure to reduce "flash" noticebility. You can and should still use on-board flash, just make it less noticable to the viewer.
Rework sharpness to remove digital "jaggies" on LCD monitors.
Use burn to brighten your head against the background. |

| I like the idea behind this photo. It is very in focus and the neutral colors against the blue background is nice! |

| funny idea. the lighting is pretty graded, with emphasis on his arms and abdomen; maybe a diffuser would help with this? |

| The number of phones in this picture is ridicules. There is no reason that someone would have 2 phones in their hands and 5 glued to their chest. I think this picture would have been better just checking the one. |
