This one is a good example of the thumbnail looking WAY better than the full sized image. At thumbnail size whe really have just a couple of key things...complimentary colors of the tree and background and that curved line. When the full sized image is view, we now see much more "stuff" that does not enhance the image. This inlcudes the pool drain, the partially obstructed tables and chairs, the other competing lines. All of these things are distractions that were not as visible in the thumbnail; and in my opinion make this an unsuccessful image.


other sizes: small medium original auto

i agree somewhat. i don't think the stuff in the background distracts me too much. the nice contrast of the colors make up for it...
