Bottom of the Pack Analytical Comments
Every challenge I am going to leave comments on some of the photos that finished at the bottom of the pack. I will try and explain why I think the photo did not do well in the challenge, which will hopefully result in increased rankings in your future photos.

1) This photo does not immediately fit the challenge without an explaination. The photo should speak for itself and not rely on an explaination. It may fit the challenge if people think about it for long enough, but with 200 photos to vote on, most people will only look at your photo for a few seconds before deciding it doesnt meet the challenge and moving on.
2) Clarity. Your photo isn't sharp, which is what a lot of voters look for when scoring a photo.
3) Composition. It is very centered. A more interesting angle or perspective will normally increase scores.
4) Title. If people don't understand the photo, most will then look at the title to see of that helps. In this case the title is very long and looks rather unprofessional in many ways:
- No capitalization
- Use of the @ symbol
- Brackets
- Extra explaination that isn't needed within brackets
The title is part of the presentation of the photo and many voters will take it into account when scoring. |

| Im not getting the vibe from this image... based on the title perhaps more than one teen dressed up could be better? To show that it's the high school costume night. |
