#20 Your opinion please

travelways

The seashore offers infinite photographic possibilities for the theme of this contest,
and I took a lot of shots these days. Here are few selected ones that I like.

Please give me your opinion on which one if any should I choose as the contest entry:


Chaos:

#1 - Water fun 1



#2 - Water fun 2



#3 - Water fun 3



Serenity:

#4 Looking for shells



#5 Relaxing walk



#6 Lounge chairs



Thank you in advance

I think #2 and #3 work best for me. The contrast is turned up, which is fine in my opinion, but I think the subject is getting lost. My eye keeps getting drawn to the bright waves and I lose sight of the person. Maybe you want to selectively dodge the waves to darken them a little so that your eye gets drawn to the person.

#3 is a nice candidate for chaotic. I really like how she's enveloped by the wave and just enough of her body and boogie board are visible to give the photo good context.

#5 is a nice candidate for serene. The light is very pretty and it definitely speaks "serene".

I would lean toward #3 because it's different from other entries entered so far. There are some ocean shots but none that show someone enveloped by the surf.

But the choice is yours to make.

Thank you very much Tom, Linda and Sherry

I'm actually very proud of my surf shots (too bad this has to be B&W only... :cry )

So, I'll go with #3



One question tough...

Should I call it "Water fun" or maybe... "Fighting chaos", "Chaos can be fun"... ?

What do you think?

I agree with the others. I like 2 but three is really different and that what speaks loudly.
Nice photos.

Now, just thinking about what Tom said, I darkened it a little, popping the person more
out of the water:

#3 mod - Chaos can be fun:
