#18 Canidates...Which one fits best?

DeuceFour

Hey Everyone, Just looking for some quick opinions on these two images, if they fit the theme at all? Im undecided on them still and don't know if I will even go with these or something different all together. Thanks for the quick help!!


#1


#2

#2 for me. The bright oof beak and the brightly lit bar in front of it in #1 are distracting to me.

I don't know if you have the time or inclination to do it, but if you could darken the bright areas in the background of #1, I think it would be an even stronger entry.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Did you mean to say darken the bright areas of the background on #2? Not #1? And thanks for the advice, I also thought that beak area in #1 was distracting, unfortunately it was captured right behind the cage bar.

I really like #1. It seems to be a little more low-key because it's got a really spooky element to it. Perhaps you could crop it a bit so the bird's eye is just a bit bigger in the frame. I like the shallow depth of focus - it brings you right to the point of the photo.

photographically i like #2 better, though i think 1 fits the theme more. still i think i'd enter the stronger image.
