Keep in mind that voters see a lot of photos and when they see so many that are very sharp and even oversharpened anything less may appear to be undersharpened even when it's not. So you may want to sharpen with that in mind. For me that's fine.
That aside, what I don't like about this photo is the lighting and the tonal range in general. The detail isn't strong in the shadows and the highlights particularly the snow is too bright. I think if you were able to light up the inside of that barn more either with a lower sun or artificial lighting it would have a greater impact. |

It is a beautiful shot. I think for DPC sakes, more post-processing would have really upped the score. I hope you don't mind, but I messed with it a little for fun. I am not great at post-processing. <---- Disclaimer. I desaturated the trees a bit, to give more focus to the barn. Who knows if it would have gotten a higher score or not! Either way, you have a nice shot.

| Nice framing, but there is a lack of contrast and sharpness that really hurts the shot. |

| Looks pretty good to me. The only thing that I don't really like about the photo is the border. I like the snow, the shadows, the composition... but hey - my image did bad, so who knows, right?! :)~Magen |

| Why is there a bench in the bridge? That is the thing that interests me. I think maybe getting a bit closer and emphasizing that would be cool. RIght now it is is a standard old red bridge picture. In itself it is good, but if you are going to do the ordinary on DPC, they usually expect it as the over-the-top style. Personally, I find the shot good. I gave it a 5 in the challenge, so above the average... |

5 from me to. Snow in sunlight is perfect for blown highlights. Interesting image with potential but as is...
I only got a 4.7 so what do I know? |

| It's a little pale for me and could do with a touch of sharpening. |

| I gave this a 5. I think the scene has lots of potential but it appears overexposed. |

| I think the composition is fine, and the fact there are tree branches there is quite natural - doesn't bother me at all. It's kind of a pleasant surprise to find a picnic table in the bridge. You've got good exposure on the bridge itself, but the background seems a lot brighter, in need of a bit more contrast, a bit less light. Can't much fix that with the exposure but you can darken the trees behind a bit in post processing. Give it another pass of sharpening and see if it perks it up a bit. |

| For me, it's too soft - in an unfocused way, not a dreamy way. A bit of sharpening and intensification of the colors - just a little - would have probably helped. The frame seems heavy and unnecessary. I would have given it a 5. |

| I am sure summer time this would have better view. I can see the barricade in the bridge :( |

| Some of the detail is a little blurred. It detracts from a well composed and well lit picture. |

| It's good, but the view is not grabbing me uch. Perhaps it's the common perspective of standing in front of it. |

| It would be nice to see a little more detail inside the bridge. |

| From the camera position you took it from the side of the structure is obscured by the tree. |
