You Should Be Hereby

Hi Sarah...
I don't believe I have had the pleasure of commenting/critiquing any of your work before...
This image fits the challenge. The score you received shows a below average result overall. I believe that your score probably reflects the overall 'quality' of the photograph for the most part. Unfortunately, here at DPChallenge, the general populous prefers crisp and clean images. They don't really look beyond that to examine your idea and your thought process as much. This is an unfortunate fact though. Sad but true.
As I looked at your profile and noticed that you are a 16 year old female, I can see the relevance of this photograph quite easily. That information, however, is not avialable to the challenge voter. Since it is early in your 'career' here at DPChallenge, I will give you a couple suggestions that will help improve your scores.
1. Strive for crisp and clean photographs. If your camera struggles with this concept, use a tripod ALWAYS.
2. Never use your flash as a light source for a photograph.
3. Simplify your 'subject' and fill the frame with it.
Cheers and good luck :)
