Definately meets the challenge. Comical title. The photo itself is a little too busy for my tastes. Good luck.

I would have liked a little more of a focal point. Nice tones you have going on here just not sure where to look first

The details and the highlights seem to be blown out in this image.

***REDACTED***

I've received many harsh but well intentioned comments. This, however, is just rude and uncalled for. You would do well to simply ignore this member.

Anyway, since I left my comment, I posted an example of the JPEG file save dialog from Paintshop Pro. I don't know what you are using, but the settings may be similar.

Hope this helps. PM me if I can be of any other help on this.

Maybe using a different angle coming from down/center and cropping where the subject is in the middle would have worked better for me.

I like the concept, however I'm afraid the execution need some work. No doubt others will tell you the image should have used the full 640 pixels allowed on at least one side. White balance also seems to be a bit off and is giving a slight yellow cast to this image. Taking the WB adjustments a little cooler will help that.

The biggest problem, however, is that it seems blurred and unclear. I think most of it is due to the use of excessive JPEG compression. Your file size of only 27k indicates a highly compressed image and that is what is robbing most of the detail and sharpness from this image. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (150k for this one)
