Late C&C Please for DSS #46

BinaryFx

I would greatly appreciate some C&C in order to help decide which image to submit as my entry for DSS #46. I would also love general C&C if anybody has the free time and inclination. Thanks in advanace and sorry for the late request!

I had a great time shooting at lunch...

Straight out of the camera, if a name for these untitled shots springs to mind, please mention it too!

#1 (I can play with the greens in post)


#2 (is there such a thing as a submission being too green?)



#3 (I can play with the crop)



#4



#5



Thanks again for your time, experience & knowledge!


Sincerely,

Stephen Marsh

of this series I like the last best, if the sky can be made really blue for contrast...otherwise the fern has possibilities, can you reshoot that? (ETA, meaning, can you find a sunnier location, or one slightly more open with less browned edges...)

I like the fern the best, but it needs to pop more from the BG.

- It also need some noise reduction

Thank you for your time and comments!

No time for a reshoot for this challenge, however I will be doing more shots at this bushland location in the future.

#5 - I like this one too, it was my last series of shots when I was leaving the park, however exposure was tricky at that time of day - I will have to see how much detail can be recovered from the raw file (I shot 3 brackets 1 stop apart). I had a good name for this shot, which I promptly forgot once I was in the car and going home.

#2 - the fern frond - I have a few shots of other similar ferns, perhaps with less brown on them. I will have a look tonight when I get home from my day job. I like this one too, although it is a little obvious...it is green!

#4 - I really like this one, I can enhance the green moss on the rocks - however I did not frame this as well as I could have and there is no more image at the foot. Perhaps too busy?

#1 & #3 are not worthy, just included in-case somebody had something to say. Too many choices I guess! At least things are narrowed down to 3 shots!


Thanks again!

Thanks, easy enough to separate by changing the saturation and hue slightly. Cheers!

As the shot is SoC, I can and will clean it up if I find a good one from the days shooting. Thanks Tatiana!

I like the ivy covered wall, but there is something missing from the shot.

#1 is different, go with this - everyone else did the same as #2 onward.

Thanks, I had to get my entry in last night before the challenge closed - so I went with a variation on #4.

I liked #1, but once I went into the bush I started to favour the variations of #2 onward.

Too many choices, it was hard to know and everybody has a different opinion.

Thanks for the feedback, I may have made a different decision if I had read your post earlier!
