I see the difference, but it isn't much. Try uploading entries to the size of at least 1000 pxls wide. Most of the high def entries on here are between 2000 and 3000 pxls.

Make sure you are taking your photos on your camera, on the highest size as well. That might be your problem.

If you supplied a High res it would be easier to give feedback.

"... A SINGLE tool MUST be the focus" "...obvious that it's being USED..." guess if the mod thinks the "single" tool is in "use" and the "focus" of the image, then my question is; which "tool" is the "focus" here? the chainsaw is not in use, so that is not it. If the rigging mentioned above is the "focus" then i would say it is anything but "obvious". It is confusing when the rules for the contest seem fairly clear, stating "SINGLE tool" and "use" and "obvious" then anything is ok that has multiple tools, there are multiple as stated by the author himself, and others viewing, and it isnt "obvious" or there would be no question. the author even says the tool he is "using" is obscured, so again, my question, prior to voting is; what is the "single tool" being "used" that should be the "focus" of the image? cause im not getting a focus other than a tree, maybe a hanging tool not used, or ropes that are ANOTHER (not single) tool and not really the focus.

yeah I never said it wasn't necessarily on theme but yes, it would have been nice to see more of the man I guess.

this shot is on theme, it might not be the best example, but it is still on theme.

This guy could be a pro tree trimmer using gaffs, rope and saddle common work today still where a bucket truck can not reach. Looks like some rigging there.

I think it would be better if the chainsaw was in use too

One would probably argue that a man in a tree with a chainsaw is not necessarily a specific trade. Sure there are lumberjacks and tree surgeons but this looks like just some guy in a tree trying to cut down a branch. Perhaps a description would help or even more of a shot of the man would help. .

nice shot, but I asked about the use of statue hands (had one in mind) and the moderator said Human hands only. Pretty sure they meant, photos of REAL hands.
