Most excellent blue. The Contre-jour is great. It wasa the subject matter that limited the piece. There is a lack of "wow" or emotional engagement that makes people stop and look. They see the shot for 2-3 seconds (literally), vote 5-6 because it's technically good, and move on. The 8-10 votes come when people stop and stare because they are sucked in to what they see. |

I like the shot.. maybe the focus is indeed slightly soft.. Most people sharpen to the point of being a fault because that's what the general voters want..
I think the framing of the sun the jet trail is very very good.. Perhaps more negative space at the bottom half would have made the whole composition less confined looking..
Abstract doesn't do very well if competing against people shots or landscapes.. most people like pics that they can connect to..
And No it's not too blue.. |

Not too blue at all... the composition seems a bit heavy on the bottom and the focus seems a tad soft. Perhaps a different angle (and no jet trail) would've helped a bit. |

I think the blue is just right! I have a feeling most DPC voters simply aren't too big on abstracts like this. It's very interesting! |
