help picking out a photo for bw contest

Posted: Wed Feb 21, 2007 12:18 pm

I'm having trouble deciding which of these to submit for a university student art contest. feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry about this last one--i can't figure out why it's not rotating. should be verticle.

thanks for your help!

The building is your most well printed, but the camel is the strongest image as far as composition goes..the others dont really do much for me. But thats all personal preference....Try printing the camel better. use a higher filter because its very muddy and you are loosing alot of separation in your shadow areas ( on the underside of the camel- blending in with the background)

The judges want to see your interpretation of an image just as much as they want to see one that is well printed. I have submitted to many juried exibition so in my opinion you should reprint.

I like the camel and the duck in the water. Duck is a crisp image and looks as if it was photoshopped, it is just a well-done image. Camel looks more natural and it tell the story. I like its pose and lighting of the image.

camel one is the best, followed by the duck one. i just wished that the duck was more silhouetted and less of its details could be seen. great shots all though!
