Sorry, lets try this again! (Poll Question)

I'd like some opinions from fellow forum members as too which shot I should print (first)
I plan on printing one every month or two, as the prints and customs frames from Imagekind (while very good) arent cheap!
So I have narrowed it down to these four for my first hanging shot.. Which would you choose?


BAD GIRLS



RAYS


CAUGHT



FIRST TO FALL



AT THE GATES



If none of these tickle your fancy see if there are any in This premier flickr set that you would choose!

I say . . . . print two: Rays and First to Fall. Hey, it's only money.

Could have asked an easier question. They are all quite good. I can't make up my mind but it's between First to Fall, and at the Gate.

'Rays' is, of course, beautiful, but I think you will have a hard time maintaining the green in the barns in a print, so be on the look out for that. And look to maintain the subtle gold cast in the hay.

'First to fall' is my second choice. Wonderful distribution of reds against dark rocks. And the light is bright without creating excessive contrast. Of course I am not suggesting you planted the leaves (ha ha), just that you made a wise arrangement in the viewfinder.

I think your 'bad girls' would be better with the girls cropped out. It would be a wonderful landscape suitable for the wall. Whereas, with the girls it appears more a snapshot than an image for the wall. IMHO.

'At the gates', though good, strikes me as Ok but not as a wallhanger.

I very much like the concept of 'caught', the leaves caught amid the white streaks representing the water in motion. But you are employing what is called a 'centre of interest' or the 'principle of dominance.' These principles apply both to photography and art in general. In my opinion, there is not enough in this centre of interest to hold your attention, or to warrant a photo on the wall.

Just my thoughts.

I have to disagree with you on that one JMR. The focal point is well positioned according to the rule of thirds and much of the rest of the picture is the moving water emanating out from the focal point.

WOW! So much detail in the pictures.

For me, it would have to be the second one.

My vote is for rays and if it were my print, I would clone out the power poles and line. jim

Thanks again!

[cupic]

The first one is absolute

cheers

[m8o]

so where's the multi-selection poll then?!

RAYs, from one who decided in a second after scrolling down and not reading the thread; I see after many agree. Tho I know nothing about how things "print". Please do tell how they turn out. Wonder if the "look" translates to print as well.

[J.Scott]

Thanks for sharing.
