DSS#80....New contenders, opinions needed

ic4u

I am a sucker for laundry lines:dunno
Anyhoo, here are three new contenders, which I will likely decide from, and not even consider my first shots I posted.
I know which one I like best, but I would love to hear from you all...
Thanks in advance!

1. Paired Up


2. Blowin in the Wind


3. Sun Dried

I can relate - My preference is #2, then #1. In fact I really like the overall feeling of #2 the best with the angle and softness. GP

Does #2 need more contrast? or does it look okay?

Yeah I think I could probably put together a book with all the laundry line shots I have! So do you have a favorite of the three?

I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. I LOVE laundry lines and don't have one any more.

I love these shots! #2, then #1.

I'll buck the trend and say I like #3. I wish there was a little bit more of the left of the picture in the scene, but then again, this is about breaking the rules. I guess I'm a sucker for those stars.

I tried a slightly different crop to use all I had on the left, which isn't much more, but how's this version of #3

3a. Sun Dried

I also love laundry on the line. It takes me back to hanging laundry with my mother at my grandmother's house. Take note all you Moms - doing chores with Mom creates good, strong memories.

And these are all very nice.

I think I like the first #3 best. I really like the bright bokeh in the BG on the right.

I like these a lot! More 2 and 3, and actually more 3.

Very, very nice photos!!!

On #3, I would try to crop the right side, right to where the line starts. The skirt will be cut, but I think this will give more interest.

Thanks for the input Tatiana, unfortunately I may not be able to enter this round unless we get our power back. We had a nasty storm come thru this morning and it looks like we may be out for days. I'm posting from my phone now, so we'll see

3 is very nice Sorry about your power outage. Hope that things work none the less.

Hmm, what about going to the library, or in a hotel lobby...?

Well, Karin, I think my preference would be #2 with some additional contrast and, possibly, a little vignette. It's sometimes difficult, without actually messing around with the image, to make suggestions. Anyway, it's just my opinion. Good luck with your power outage. I'm dealing with the same thing at one of our facilities in Rockford, Illinois. Been out of power all day and is just now coming back on line.

Thanks Dave, hey Rockfords not too far from me, it appears we definitely won't be getting power back tonight, so I think I'm out for this challenge, and I am sad because it's been awhile since I've felt good about any of my entries. Anyone know of a way to enter it using your iPhone? I have the images in my smugmug, but don't know how to access it to enter it using my phone.... Any help is appreciated, by the way I am not able to go anywhere to access another Internet connection tonight, I'm stuck here

Do you have the SmugMug app? Not sure if it helps, I have it on my Android. It allows me to save an image from my SmugMug site to my phone. I assume that I could then download it to the Dgrin site but have never tried it.

Can you send it to someone from your phone who could upload it for you? I've only got a dumb phone, but I could handle an email.

Another for #3!.

Hope the power is back. Nevertheless, they're terrific photos (says another laundry fan)!

You all are awesome and I so appreciate the support, unfortunately I still have no power, my cell phone coverage goes in and out so basically sucks tonight, i'm PMSing and I figure I'm outta luck this round! Oh well, I got some great feedback from my fellow photog friends so there's the silver lining! Thanks guys and gals!
