Hi everyone. Well, I've got plenty of blurry pictures but of course the challenge here is to pick "good" blur vs. "bad" blur. Go figure.

Anyway, here's a couple of my friend's dog Buck. I'm leaning towards the first one because it is more unique and has a more dynamic feel. What I like about the second one is the dog's more recognizable and the symmetry. What do you think? Or should I go back to the drawing board....

Thanks,

Erich

    Oh, that is tough. I saw the one you entered before looking at both and really liked it. But that second one. Well, it is really neat. I can imagine people thinking it is too symetrical or that the dog is too centered, but it is a terrific shot. I love the way his hair swirls around the head. Both shots are great, but I think I like #2 better. In any event, I don't think you have to go back to the drawing board. Good luck!!

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback!

    Great idea on the local contrast enhancement of the water drops. Too bad I can redo it for the challenge but I'll give it a go for the sake of the image.

    Cheers,

    Erich
