| Yes this picture was actually right off the side of the road in my front yard. The white you see is actually my street. If you look at the top.. that little section of green.. that is my neighbors front yard across the street. I should have described better. Thanks for those who liked it. I just bought the Tamron 28-75mm 2.8f. So i will def be entering another! And yes, i ment raw as in like just dry edited out of the camera. |

First Impressions
'Hmmm'... Well, it's color, may well be on a street, but it is not in the spirit of the Challenge.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Ok, just read your Photographer's Comments - first entry and you want me to be gentle. I can do that. I want this to be an 'oops - meant for the Flowers II Challenge, but I see you are a not a Member so wouldn't be able to enter that. The only other two reasons would be: 1. didn't read the Challenge description for Street Photography in Color or 2. misinterpreted the concept. Unfortunately for those new to photography concepts, the description for this Challenge didn't help them: "No black/white or duo-tone for this challenge." I guess you would have to research Street Photography on the net to get an idea of what it is all about. No doubt it was also discussed in the DPC Forums, but it would be easy to lost in there. I stongly suggest searching for Street Photography and looking at some examples to get a feel for this photographic genre.
As is, I'm guessing (hoping) this was taken of your front yard from your front 'street'. It doesn't fit the Challenge, but aside from that - a nice study of this flower and the focus is quite good. The image would benefit from a more refined crop, especially on the left hand side to eliminate the 'cut' distractions.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
Don't take your score and placement to heart, it looks like an innocent first timer's mistake. You've learned the hard way about photographic genres - but it will also teach you to study the Challenge description and requirement for next time. Some DPC users are flexible with the requirements, but I personally see them as ways to learn and try new things in photography.
Your comments are mostly 'gentle', and I think helpful. You may wish to absorb them, find and mark them helpful (tick the box) - or if you feel otherwise inclined, that's up to you.
Summary
You say 'raw out the camera' - forgive me if you already know this, but there is an image format called RAW, which usually requires some slight tweaking in post processing (pp). If this is in .jpg format and unedited, the in-camera settings seem to have produced a sound image. Practice makes perfect (or at least starts an obsession). Good luck in future Challenges. |

| Congrats on your first ribbon! Well, it's the brown, but only because you entered a good shot in a challenge it had no relevance to. Looking forward to seeing what you put out next. |

| Looks as if the Street was left out of the Flower challenge? |

| Not the typical street photography example - a beautiful flower shot, though. |

| though it may have been taken on a street (but doesn't look so), it is not 'street photography', and thus I think a poor choice for the challenge :/ |
