LPS#6 Shootings 'round town

Strikeslip

Any comments or criticisms would be appreciated, though there's a long time left until this round ends. And I've put this one on my calendar so I don't miss it. :wink The post processing isn't quite done on these guys yet, but good enough to give an idea...

So you're from Toronto, eh?

#1, #3, & #4 are OK but don't do much for me.

But #2 is excellent. I love how the arches just go off into infinity and the angle at which you shot this. Have you checked this one out in black & white to see how it compares?

Oh yea baby!
I think #2 rocks...that is like way coolio.

I like #2 the best. Seems like the sails and rigging in #1 could have potential but this shot doesn't do work for me.

I like #1. Do you have any other angles on this? (excuse the pun )

Number two. Absolutely great! I'd bet it would be really impressive as a large print.

Put me in for #2 as well

Stand out and grabs me right away!
draws me in and I didnt even want to bother looking at the rest... ( I did)

#2 for me
check, please:-)

Yep - #2. The angled camera orientation gives it more zap, and the shadows make it look really cool as well - so much detail. Top shot.

Oh my, thanks everyone. Almost unanimous, wow! I wonder if there's any way to improve on #2? It's pretty close to work, so no problem to reshoot. And yes, I work in Toronto, but live in Burlington.

I'm kind of partial to #1, though it didn't work out the way I intended. I wanted to get the masts & rigging as silhouette, and the sheets obviously lit up from behind with a darker sky and a sparkling sun. I took a bunch of angles, but deleted them after I chose to work on this angle. Incredibly, I never put the sun behind the sheeet!?!? It's a little more of a walk from work, but very pleasant on a nice day. I might try a shot with the sun behind the sheet. Hopefully it'll still be docked there, but this was the only time I've ever seen it with the sheets up. BTW, it's the Kajama. It was on an episode of Amazing Race the season before last, I think. The contestants had to climb up a mast and grab a clue, if memory serves.

Number Two.

(I'd like to add a Prisoner reference here)

Got my vote as well for #2. Great shot and works nicely with the theme. I do like number 1 along with you but concur on your evaluation of it not being a true silhoutte. That would strengthen it.

Good luck, I can see we all have our work cut out for us!:D

I like #2 also but it looks a bit overprocessed...both in color and in your sharpening (looks like too large a radius). Try dropping the saturation or even black & white and lower your radius in your sharpening.
