DSS13 Thoughts

Any comments would be much appreciated

1) Here's the one I posted


2) Here's another I was thinking about...


I remember seeing a previous challenge entry that was somewhat similar to #2, so I shied away from that a bit, but would love to hear everyone's thoughts if I should switch them before it's too late.

Thanks!! :thumb

[FONT=&quot]They are both very well done and interesting photos- so good job on that front! I don’t remember seeing anything like #2, and IMO I wouldn’t worry about that too much. I think it’s more a matter of how they fit the theme, of what titles you could give them and which one you think reflects clarity or diffuse more. But they are both very good!

I definitely prefer #2. I get the idea for #1, but because the extra stuff in the alley (the skip, the cars etc) doesn't really add anything thematically or aesthetically, I think it weakens the cool reflection.

#2, however, just draws me right in. Like it a lot

To me #2 is nice, but #1 is much more engaging. The crop is perfect. Have you tried a B&W version of that?

Rebecca, Diva & Linda,

Thank you all for your replies! I've only participated in one of the challenges before (trying to change that) so it's nice to know I can get some images that "qualify!"

Linda, I tried a quick conversion to black and white in ACR while I was processing both of them. #2 lost it's interest for me in B&W and while #1 definitely held promise as a B&W, it calls for a lot of fine tuning that unfortunately I just don't have time for at the moment (too many projects all at once ) but I've got it tagged for further processing once a couple things wrap up.

something that can beinteresting for #2 is a 10:4 pano around the interesting parts.
