I've been on a shooting spree :D for the last week or so. Would appreciate feedback on which photo, if any, stands out for LPS 15 based on quality and theme.

Thanks for taking time to poke through these, I know there are a lot, but I lost objectivity a couple hundred photos ago :rofl !

    I like Rock Dwellers and Fall Reflections best. I voted for Fall Reflections because I think it meets the theme better than Rock Dwellers, which isn't monochrome and isn't really colorful. Great shot, though. As a photograph, it is my favorite in the bunch.

    Quarry Wall has potential, but I I feel it as an abstract and the pano crop just doesn't work for me. Maybe a square crop?

    The second is a lovely shot, but the picture seems to be all about the cliffs and not the colorful foliage.

    A Little Dingy is very colorful but the slant doesn't quite work for me. Too extreme, maybe?

    The Sentinal is a nice capture. Love the red. But it just doesn't grab me and keep me scrolling back to look at it the way my favorites do.

    Tiny Tuna doesn't do anything for me.

    I find By the Seashore confusing. It is hard for me to tell what I am looking at. I love the soft colors, though.

    Just one person's 2 cents.

    I'd have to say my favorite is Babson Quarry - beautiful shot. I also like the Little Dinghy but agree about the angle being a bit severe.

    I'm struggling with the theme myself so i'm not much help with that aspect.

    Beautiful shots - I also love the colors in the Fall Reflections.

    That's my penny's worth (still have a lot to learn before I get a raise to 2 cents :D )

    Thank you for the feedback! It looks like Rock Dwellers got the most vote, but does it fit the theme?

    I agree that the Babson Quarry photo is more about the granite. I didn't offer up this photo as an option because my lens is soft at the top and bottom of it's range.

    Thanks again for the input. If anyone else has any last minute thoughts I'm still undecided.
