I gave this a 5. I saw a good effort to capture an interesting shot, but the image is a little flat. The background appears tilted, and distracts from the main subject. I think it has some potential though, and I did a quick edit to see what I could pull from it. I think by fixing the tilt and cropping, the background was reduced as a distracting element, and might even be a secondary point of interest. I kind of like the way it looks like colorful strata.

Well Robin, you have pretty much answered your own question. Looks like a shoehorn entry and has a poor choice of background. The rotation didn't help. The water spirts don't screem "lines", and without the title who'd a guessed.
In your favor though, the pink thing is focused well and the water does make a nice interesting subject, for the one taking the shot and trying to stop the motion, which you did.
I didn't vote but if I had it would have been a 5. Depending on my mood it might have been 4, (probably a 5). Everybody has their own scale but I find it hard to see a 1 or 2 here as well as an 8, 9, or 10.
"Not actually taken for the challenge" says a lot.
Good luck in future challenges and keep on entering...David |

I agree. Not much I could do in this location though. I would have tried something different if I was actually trying to take a shot for the challenge. Just wanted to finally put in a second entry.
This one was already cropped and rotated to get rid of some worse distractions. I had a similar one with much better content, but it was just not near as sharp. Would have scored much better if the shot was technically as good as this one. |
