One of these two... Which one?

johno · October 24, 2005

OK, I ditched the waterfall shot. Just didn't do it for me. So I am going with one of these two shots. I posted this first one already, but the second one is new.

Which one? I don't expect to win... I have seen what has been entered and :cry . But the experience is good for me.

So, here they are.
"FALLING"

"IN THE GARDEN"

Peace.

No.2

it's one of the best I've seen so far.

ginger_55 · October 24, 2005

Yes, I would say #2, also. I might check to see if there is a blue cast in the rocks, but it is a great shot.

The first one is very good, but the colors are not as "grabbing", IMO.

However, I LOVE the title "Falling" for that photo. Pity, the other one doesn't have a water falls, too. Great title. Nice photos, Johno!

Def 1..i like the angle

Mitchell · October 24, 2005

I really like #2. Great composition!

I'm just not sure that the colors will "wow" everyone enough for this challenge.

Oakley · October 24, 2005

I like No 1...but I can't fit the whole picture on my screen so it's tough to get the "big picture". Pardon the pun....it's not punny at all.

I need more coffee...

GREAPER · October 24, 2005

I like number 1 myself, but 2 is very nice as well.

As noted above there seems to be a blue cast to them both and if it were reduced I think the colors would have more pop.

johno · October 24, 2005

WOW! 3 for #1 and 3 for #2... It's a tie. I guess I need more DGrinners advice.

As far as the blue, it's killing me. :cry I have tried to take out the blue and no matter what I do, it still looks as if there is blue in the shot.

Working on it.

Peace.

#2. The tie is broken. :photo

Phil U. · October 24, 2005

#1 - the tie is on (or is that "tie one on"?)

The angle really makes me feel unstable - like i'm 'falling' (the title).

I wish I could help a bit on the color cast but it is a week spot with me as well.

I played with it a little and I think something can be done using Lab curves. Check out the thread in the PS forum and see if you can figure it out.

You might also ask Rutt for some advice as he seems to understand this stuff.

Shima · October 25, 2005

I'm with #1. I really like the angle and I'm always a fan of seeing waterfalls of beauty.

bfjr · October 25, 2005

#2
is there a sudden death play off

johno · October 25, 2005

OK! Thanks to Greaps and Ginger commenting on the "blue" in my pictures, David sent me some great ideas via PM. So here are the new versions...

"FALLING"

"IN THE GARDEN"

Well? Let the battle continue

Which shall it be? #1 or #2?

Peace.

System · October 25, 2005

wow...both are simply stunning photographs... even without the changes. i can't bring myself to say which one is the one you should enter because both are worthy of entry...

-daniel-

but i if i had to decide i'd say number 1. i think it has more "individuality" becouase of the tilt. *hope i helped*

johno · October 25, 2005

well?

I guess I will go with number 2... No, 1!

Nah, #2

peace.

ginger_55 · October 25, 2005

Johno, they are both wonderful now. More better than I would have thought!

I can't choose.:D

I am having problems myself. Can't choose............and it is Nature's color: I have no idea.

GREAPER · October 25, 2005

I like #1

I think they are both improved.

George. · October 25, 2005

both have been improved drastically with the color correction - but i stil love number two - it just tells more of a story for me, there is more for my eyes to follow and so many natural nature colors. well done.

david_h · October 25, 2005

I still prefer #2 as well, although both are very nice. That AB curves trick is super for these kinds of landscapes - thanks Mr. Margulis

Gotta love this time of year.

Sask2005 · October 26, 2005

Go with the first - its different, sharp, eye catching and brilliant. If I saw that in a gallery I would buy it without a second look. Three thumbs up. Bruce

johno · October 26, 2005

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

:thwak

I am beating myself up with making a choice between the two.

I do have to say this is fun... In a sick kind of way.

Thanks everyone.
peace.

One of these two... Which one?
