Exposure is great...the scene is well lit.
The problem is that there's too much lens distortion for my taste.
No sale to me...
Maybe next time.


1D-III with stuff to stick on it:
70-200L, 28-70L, 24-105L, 300L, 50, 10-17 fish, 2.0x TC
Image editing OK, encouraged, and expected. Thank you for helping me learn!

As above, it can't hurt to try but I would think the wide angle distortion would put them off. The tree looks like it is blowing over in a gale and the school is leaning at a weird angle.

If you can get back there and reshoot from further back using something more than 11mm, it will be more saleable in my opinion.

Its a High School. Local government. Give them a break. (Look for customers who actually have money)

These guys are Private....They've got $$$, they're also sort of an artsy school...so i'm thinking they might like the "abstractness" of the photo...

give it a try, as for distortion, its minimal, the tree is teh only part I notice it, but the field of view is great, its a well exposed and lit image. I dont see why they wouldnt consider it for some sort of use. As long as you have permission to take the photo.
good luck.

Aside from the wa distortion, the blown out moon kills it for me. You may offer to donate, but don't be upset if they don't want to buy it.

You guys are are critiquing it on a photographers level, regular people don't even know what good photography is.

I think it's a great image.

I think even non photographers can tell the tree is tilting abnormally, but I like OP's Christmas Spirt, good for you..
