Too busy and too small.
Next time try a different angle to get the action and not so much stuff in the background. Better luck next time...

Wow, this could have been a great photo! As it is, it is too small to see any detail or expressions on the players faces. You should try to use the full 640 pixel dimensions whenever possible to allow us to give you a fair evaluation of your work. 4 but could have been a 7 or 8.

to small
 07/16/2005 10:36:55 PM
If the image was larger I think I would have scored higher.

way to small, I can't even see what is going on. I looks like it could be really good, but I guess I will never know.

A larger image would have worked better here.

this looks like it is a great image, but it's too small, hard to tell exactly. i'm sure you'll get lots of comments saying this. love the colors.

Looks like a very good capture, from what I can make out. It's a little tough to see, however. When submitting photos, try to make them as large as DPC permits (640 pixels on the largest side). Nice shot here, though.

This looks like it had potential but is way too small to judge properly.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think you know be now, but i think this photo is way to small
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/15/2005 06:18:35 PM
This appears really small on my monitor. Small enough that I can't really tell much about how sharp things are. Seems to be good framing and the colors are vivid but natural.

looks like it would have been a really good picture. kinda small to tell though.

Probably a great shot if it were bigger.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Seems like a nice shot, but it's too small to make out any detail. Check the tutorials to see how to maximize the picture for this site.

This looks to be a good stop action capture but it is just too small to evaluate
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/14/2005 11:54:02 PM
great capture, but small images don't normally do that well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is probably a great shot, but it is too small to tell.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think this would have been a great shot but is too small to tell much about it. Would have scored it higher if it was larger

Too small, can't even make out the action..
 07/14/2005 09:05:15 AM
To small to see the detail but a nice capture.

Man I learned this the hard way, but your photo is pretty tiny. And you've probably got a hundred other people saying the same thing, so I'll stop now. Keep shooting!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This looks like a great capture of the moment, and it seems like it's probably in focus & well composed. I have a hard time telling because of the size, however. Bigger next time, please! I suspect that it would have done very well in the proper size.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/14/2005 02:55:28 AM
You need to give us a larger image size to really see the action
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/14/2005 02:28:21 AM
Nice action shot, but wish it were bigger.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/14/2005 02:01:33 AM
oh i wish this was bigger. It appears to be awesome coloring and an awesome shot.

Image too small.
 07/13/2005 07:51:22 PM
Too smalll
 07/13/2005 03:34:59 PM
I wish the photo could be larger! The head shot gets lost against the net...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This would have shown much better if the photo was bigger. If you change the pixels instead of the size of the pic, you can fit the required file size. My guess is that the scores will be lower than they should because of the size. I hope I am wrong. I like this shot. Good luck!

Way too small, Sorry, but I can barely eve tell hat's going on. Hope to see a bigger one after the challenge.

Wow, if you could have gotten in closer on that header! Getting so many of them in the air is way cool!

 07/13/2005 01:23:00 AM
very busy image for such a small one.
imho it would look better if a lot bigger
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/13/2005 12:30:02 AM
This would have been a great shot if I didn't have to get within two inches of my monitor and squint.
 07/12/2005 11:38:42 PM
Why so small??? Looks like a good photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/12/2005 09:59:13 PM
Picture needs to be bigger.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/12/2005 09:38:37 PM
why do people submit images this small?
 07/12/2005 08:39:46 PM
Bigger IS better... Great capture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/12/2005 08:22:02 PM
This would have much more impact at a bigger size. There's a good tutorial here on how to prepare your photos for challenge. //dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=26
