Your card idea is nice.. When in the dark, let there be dark on the beach. |

The sun rays are nice, but I find that there is a lack of sharpness throughout the rest of the photo. |

I think it's from compression but it's quite blurry on my monitor. The lighting looks nice. |

Not going on a greeting card with that much compression showing, I'm afraid. Lots of pixelated artifacts, and a 27k file size. 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. (200k for this one) |

well composed, but techincally it looks like a mobile phone shot, full of artefacts and overall too soft |

wow, what happened to this one?? why did you only save it at 29kb? |

Well you captured a nice scene but the photo is very pixelated, that probably has to deal with how you saved it. Better luck next time. |

the silhoutte shots, the silhouttes needs to better defined. the large mass of dark tones does not really add to the image. |

Great light in the sky and nice silhouette of someone walking. |

wondering why the sky has banding, or is it pixelated from sizing? |

I like the composition on this and I think it has some potential. However, I am seeing some major pixelation type things. Your file size is a fraction of what it can be, so that may be a contributing picture. I also recognize that this could be taken on an earlier camera, but it is especially visible in the cloud line around the sun which is where the eyes are first drawn. Also, the color is okay, but I think playing with the hue and/or saturation could bring out some of the golden tones which make this an even more inviting photograph. |

Nice photo. I'm assuming the subject is the small figure to the bottom left? Quite difficult to see, which is unfortunate. |

way to grainy and soft in the focus |

You've compressed this shot a little too much, meaning it looks quite blocky. Your file size is only 26k, you were allowed to use 200! |

A nice shot, but the pixellation is really distracting. Maybe not greeting card material... |

Nice image with great colors and silhouettes. However the low resolution kills it, it's a shame. |

Overall, I like the composition of the picture. The sun, the water, the shoreline all works. However, there seems to be some weird digital thing going on in the sky below and in the clouds. I'm not sure if that was in the processing or not. Keep it up though, you have a good eye for composition. |

This is probably a pretty good shot. Unfortunately, at 27k it's got massive compression issues. |

Good composition but blurry? Can't tell if it's focus or depixelation? |

Needs better focus and better compression |

Lots of jpg artifacts going on here. You might want to try saving it at a higher quality. |

not with this pixalation happening. it's a well composed image, and nicely lit, but the pixels are ruining the shot |

nice tone like the rays of the sun/moon? |
|

Very possibly. The are a few JPEG artifacts and the gradations of the sky aren't very smooth. I think when you were saving this you set your JPEG quality very low to reduce the file size. I'd recommend upping this to the maximum you can get away with under the rules (i.e. 200KB) this came out at about 27KB on my computer.
Apologies if I'm being a bit patronising, it's tricky as I've no idea who you are your your level of experience :-) |

Way to over processed and pixelized. Looks like you tried to make it much bigger then it was. Looks like it would have been a nice story telling picture tho. |

Moce composition but i think this would have benefited from a better exposure with some more light in the foreground. Good luck: 5. |

Lovely scene, the composition is very intriguing, and adds interest. The photograph is hindered by prominent compression artifact or lack of resolution. I wonder if this is a severe crop. |
