It was a chaotic week at work but I did get the chance to shoot some. Lucky to be working in San Francisco Area
But I am having a tough time picking shot my brain has not caught up with me yet. SO i will post and ask the group that might have fresher eyes than I.
Plus I still have over 100 T Shirts to print before tomorrow I need to get those done
Most still need more PP but want opinions on shots and comp
Thank You in advance

    #2 and #4 for me definitely -- I love the house on the hill the most. Perhaps try to increase the contrast a little bit more, but it is a beautiful capture!

    With regards to the boats, maybe crop that shot to where there are boats all the way on the left to all the way on the right.

    Great shots though!

    Wow... without question for me it is #7. This is a really nice shot. Composition is really strong. I don't think I have ever seen this perspective of the bridge in a picture. Very nice.

    The only thing I would suggest and is not critical is to maybe bring out a little more detail in the shadows of the rock and tone down the sky just a tad so that the eye is led away from the picture.

    Very nice though!!

    So how are you working this into the theme? That I am struggling with. headscratch.gif

    Ok, I'm gonna make it harder, I like 2, I like the detail and the diagonal comp. All of them are really nice though. Sometimes having to many choices makes it difficult.

    If we strictly stick with the theme of the challenge, looking at these images as they are posted, I'd have to go with #4. They are all nice shots and have the potential to fit the theme with some minor tweaks.

    Definitely # 4, #6 or # 7


    I love # 7 clap.gifclapclap.gif

    awesome perspective... but the theme makes that one tough..
    but not if you call it "twins" or "sisters" or something along those lines to make the "2" in it stand out..

    and #4 really speaks for the theme too..


    Nice shots.!!!!

    Thank You so much for the words on the shots. I was leaning towards the sail boats, because the theme it fit better and the arrangement. Have a lot of shots of them but most looked chaotic. The Bridge is one item but for the theme it has a lot of other things in it.

    #4 is a great shot and the best fit for the theme. thumb.gif Might want to look at lightening up the water a tad. #2 is probably the best composition and excellent exposure but not as well suited to the theme. (Having been chastised myself to keep the theme in mind! mwink.gif )

    I guess I'm the odd duck because I like 2, 5, and 7 and I think they all deliver on the theme in their own way. :D
