DSS 27 - This time it's final!!!

anonymouscuban

So I am truly down to two candidates for this challenge. I am really stuck between the two. I like them both equally but for different reasons. At this point, I'm almost compelled to do a coin toss to determine which one to enter. Before I do so, I'd like to reach out to you all to see if there is one that outshines the other. Please keep in mind the theme of the challenge when voting. A simple #1 or #2 will do. Of course, I love to hear more C&C if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks in advance for looking and also for the help on my previous threads.

SO... here they are:

#1 - The Mute (thanks for the title idea Kat)



#2 - One Round Knockout



Thanks again for looking and voting!

Alex (you can call me Cuban)

You can't go wrong with #1, it's right on the theme and it is beautifully processed.

Well I like Cuban... Hmpfff..

so,, Cuban..

I like both... there hope that helps...:D:D:D


Man this is a hard choice... I like the presence of the boxer.. I mean it has muscles, shadows, power, sweat and a lot of attitude and it is technically a harder shot skill wise...

However,,, technically speaking, the mute is technically dead on as far as no technical nit pic problems like the little bit of blowout....

soooooooooooooo... I can't believe your asking us to choose..

I guess "The Mute" it has to be what your thinking too, because you did a re-shoot,, so I say "trust your gut" in the end, and if you felt a re-shoot was in order, then go with the "Mute" The Mute does have a lot of creativity behind the title and the fits the theme strongly..

P.S. I see some of the mouth on my monitor.. is that intentional?


huh Thereeeeee I did it.. I chose.. now outta of here before I change my mind...

Good Luck..Cuban

OK. Here I go being the oddball again.

I like both, but I would give #2 a slight edge. I love the cocked eyebrow and how the photo looks almost 3 dimensional.

#1 wow! that is a "grab" kind of picture.

I think your original entry with the fists and the eyes is stronger than both these... I think you started to over analyze your photos... These two just dont have an impact on me like your original. These ones...Eh...next... But your first one man it is intense!!! Just my opinion. But technically good photos...

I personally like all 3. Sorry for not helping you to narrow your decision.

I humbly disagree,, but I am one opinion in many, so I say you put it up for vote Cuban,,, just in case... there is still time..
