Advice on a photo to chose

EMMAh · 02.11.2007, 09:43 PM

So, my mother wants me to enter a photography contest (pictures of pets) At first I didn't want to but I was thinking about it and what harm could it do? I doubt I'll win but whatever haha, the prize is a camera.

So, which is best to enter, if any? They're all flawed.

Photo 2. It was close between 2 and 4.

afterthefact · 02.11.2007, 09:49 PM

2, but I'm partial to cats

nomadicfollower · 02.11.2007, 09:49 PM

My vote goes to picture two.
Good luck.

EMMAh · 02.11.2007, 09:58 PM

All votes two so far? Hmm.

Thanks guys

EMMAh · 02.11.2007, 10:01 PM

Clementine. · 02.11.2007, 11:01 PM

nature scene · 02.11.2007, 11:15 PM

All of these really show the beauty of simplicity
I like the 4th the best. A little out of focus. muy bein

I like the first one the best, but I'm partial to dogs. One or two mos def.

luxinterior · 02.12.2007, 01:18 AM

3 is precious.

noumenal · 02.12.2007, 01:19 AM

I vote 4 4.

CHOUT · 02.12.2007, 02:44 AM

They're all great, EMMAh. I voted for 1 though.

heavium · 02.12.2007, 03:37 AM

the contrast is best in the first one, also the line from the snout to its ear really fills the picture, then again...it quite the 'classic' innit ?

the third one is more original... if the jury is after something more refreshing i'd go for the third one with the albinooo...

Norma J · 02.12.2007, 03:56 AM

1 or 2, but all are good. Cute little animals!

nicfit · 02.12.2007, 03:59 AM

I say :
1 is nice but a bit too "classic", the background does not help much making it more interesting, and the "cut out nose" is a little "technical" flaw. I know I'm splitting hairs, but you never know how this little things might be judged in a contest...

2 i like this one better, all the diagonal lines fill the composition in a good way and the contrast is good, no evident flaws in my opinion, unless you count the bottom left corner a bit too bright. But fuck that, OR, photoshop it

3 i don't like this, the subject is nice (hello mice) but it has a strange "lab" look, if you understand what I mean...background colours make this a bit too plain for my personal tastes.

4 this is interesting, but the (obviouslyly intentional) lack of focusing is maybe a bit too much for a contest that's supposed to judge pet pictures. btw , I think this last one would look better in full colours (if you turned it BW with some software).

My vote : 2!
