Need opinions- datura

tinamarie52

I'd like to get some feedback. I am entering a local juried photo show/contest. Here are a few images for you to look at. I'd like to know if one pops out more than the others. Which do you think is technically better, if any?

Every entry must be framed with a white mat in a black metal 11 x 14 frame.

If there is a more appropriate forum to post this in, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

#4 for me as well.

technically they are all good
#4 is the best
reason ;
the contrast of black / white makes it "pop" out

success w the contest
and ; keep us informed

No3 is good. I like the composition of no 5 I think it has the best form .

As it turns out, I can enter two photos. I had another one that I was absolutely set on entering, but the print didn't jazz me. The processing and printing were fine, but it just didn't hit the mark in the translation from screen to print. So, I will enter 4 and 5.

I do wonder if entering two similar photos is the right thing to do.

Thanks for your telling me your choices. Helpful.

I agree that #4 is the best and it will look great framed in black. If you didn't want to go with #5, #3 would also look great framed in black IMO.

4 and 3.

Update on datura photos
I entered #4 and #5 and had both of them accepted into the juried exhibit. At the opening today I learned that #4 had been awarded Second Place! I'm thrilled.

If any of you dgrinners live in the RTP area of NC, the exhibit is at hte JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh and is co-sponsored by the Carolina' Nature Photograpaher's Association. It runs from August 28-September 30.

Thanks again for your input.

#4 is my favorite. It's very artistic and graceful. Or at least, that's what I feel when I look at the image.

Thanks for the comments.

As it turns out, I entered 4 & 5. Bothe were selected into the show and 4 took second place! I am thrilled at my first experience with this flower.
