travelways

It seems that nobody liked my latest shots at the Rib Festival - Round 3

- except Kate who liked the dog

#1 All I got is water...



From the Second round (2 sets)

- the favorites were:

#9



#11



#14



#19



#22



From the Second round (set 3)

- the favorites were:

#2




#3




Now, the hard part is which one to choose for the gallery :scratch

Please help me decide

Thank you

Didn't see the rib fest shots until now and like 1, 9, and 10 of that set. Have a dinner to go to so no time to give further input as to which I prefer overall - having given input on the others in this thread before. That's a whole other challenge, isn't it?!

Thank you so much Gretchen

It's my fault that I submitted to many images...

All of them are nice, but I like 22, 19, 9, and 3. Each one for a specific reason looks nicer to me.

I think that spontaneity is appropriate for a SOOC theme, so I like #3. I like the girls in the pretty dresses, too, but I really wish I could see faces. Believe me, I know how frustrating it is when you can't get the light and the faces lined up while kids are playing!

I like #11. Fantastic contrast for a SOOC! Very colorful!

WhatSheSaw

I am not real comfortable with street - don't really understand why people really like one over the other, so take this with a grain of salt.

I like #3 because of the way she is interacting with the water.

Thank you Sandy, unfortunately I'm a little bothered by the small spot I captured on the top, which
I couldn't see in the viewfinder. The camera captures a slightly wider space then you see and I didn't know how much, especially that his was a very fast (PJ type) shot

Totally agree with this, but I like watching them, even without a camera, but more with

I still like the hat

I know #3 can be considered an acceptable shot, but I played with the image in lightroom, by increasing the contrast and correcting the exposure and I saw what it should have looked like (on my personal taste)...

- The same with almost all the shots previous to round 3 - not enough contrast and color.

This is because in order to avoid noise (this noise is killing me, especially when I submit to istock), I shot in ISO 100 and used a tripod. Mistake for a SOOC challenge, because I got flat, dull images. What you see is not what you get

Bottom line, the only good contrasted images are in the round 3, where I got back to my old habit and increased the ISO - they are PJ type images and this is a very appropriate style for SOOC, I think.

Well, I only had Sunday afternoon for these last shots that nobody likes

However, I like my last ones, every one for different reasons, but I'm not sure what I'll do. I will probably pass this challenge.

The hat - yes, thank you so much. I really don't know

I like 3 still, and then #11

dlscott56

Still like #3. Also enjoy #1 and #11. Lots of good shots but that makes it tougher to pick just one!

SeascapeS

Don't pass! You have some good shots to choose from. You wanted to pass once before (with the apples in the bowl, I think) and you won that one. Enter one anyway, - #14 is good!

travelways

Thank you so much all of you I really appreciate your effort to push and convince me - this is a real family

I entered #3

Good choice and good luck to you!
