One more try, looking to get something a little different from what's already entered, or posted. This could be a total bomb, just not sure, but it is a rare sight in my area, so I had to grab some shots. So, curious what you all think as compared to the leaf in my prior post that seemed to be the popular vote of my shots.


For refreshers here is the leaf shot

    That's quite lovely, actually (for a car shot, lol....my husband won't let me shoot cars for him at the auto show because I never can get the whole car in the shot...the details intrigue me far more

    I like the car a lot, but the image quality isn't there like it is for the leaf. It's a toss up for me.

    I think I like the leaf best of these. It's just got some really interesting colors and detail. The car is very cool as well. Still like your current entry a lot though.

    Thanks for the input Emily and Dave!
    My son likes the car shot best, (Duh!)
    I may work on it more to see if I can improve it.
    I really like the leaf too, but since there are already
    some entries similar, I'm not sure if I'll use it.
    My current entry I'm happy with, but again, there are so many
    portrait shots, and there seemed to be some question as to whether
    or not it would be viewed as filling the frame.
    Anyone else care to put in their 2 cents, to help me decide?

    That Lamborghini shot is pretty hot. One way you could improve it is to reduce the noise in it if you have a noise-reduction software like Noise Ninja or Neat Image.

    I am not fond of car shots, but this one really works. I like the angle and the light. It is also unusual for this challenge.

    The portrait is really good, but I understand your reservations about the number of portraits in the challenge. There is not much that you could crop to make it fill the frame more - maybe a little on the left. I like it as is.

    The leaf would be my 3rd choice.

    Thanks Allen...I don't have any fancy software unfortunately, just PS Elements 7, but I can play around with it, I definitely understand what you're saying about the noise
